Take the pain out of pain reliever dosing.

Be confident that you are treating your child’s pain or fever with the correct dose of medication. We can guide you here on how much acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin/Advil) to give, based on your child’s weight. (Benadryl too!)

Did you know a baby`s fingernails grow surprisingly fast? Even faster than an adult fingernail!

To prevent your little one from scratching their face, try trimming nails after a warm bath when they’re soft, using baby nail scissors or a file. Mittens can be helpful, but should be removed during awake time so babies can explore with their hands.

Some parents find it easiest to trim while their baby is sleeping or feeding to reduce wiggling. If scratching has already started, regular skin care can help healing such as applying a cream or ointment moisturizer.

Need help choosing safe trimming tools or managing those tiny scratches? Call to chat with one of our phone nurses today!

Provider tip: Dr. A recommends using the long sleeve onesies that have hand flaps in the early stages after bringing your baby home instead of mittens or socks. Mittens and socks fall off easily, but the onesie with the hand flap stays put.

Eczema is a common skin condition in children that can cause dryness, itching, and irritation, often flaring up quickly from triggers such as:
- Dry air, heat, or cold
- Fragranced soaps or detergents
- Food sensitivities
- Scratching and tight clothing

Keep skin moisturized 2-3 times a day (apply moisturizing cream within 3 minutes of bath), use gentle, fragrance-free products, and avoid known triggers.

Severe flares? We can help with stronger creams or specialist referrals when needed.

Call today to schedule an appointment.

Is your teen heading off to college? Are you unsure what they do for health care during this transition?

College students get sick, stressed, and overwhelmed too, but knowing when to call our office versus when to see the student health center can be tricky. It’s usually best to call us for things like questions about chronic conditions, annual wellness care, or help with medication refills. If they’re dealing with symptoms like fever, sore throat, stomach issues, or minor injuries, they should head to the student health center.

Encourage your college student to save our number in their phone and reach out if they’re unsure.

Did you know that 1 in 7 women experiences postpartum depression (PPD)?

It’s more than just “baby blues”--it can include intense mood swings, sadness or hopelessness, difficulty bonding with your baby, or changes in sleep, appetite, and energy. Some parents also experience feelings of guilt or emotional disconnection.

At pediatric visits, we don’t just check on your baby, we check on you, too. That’s why we screen for postpartum depression regularly at your baby’s well visits through 15 months of age by using a validated questionnaire that may be completed online or in person.

If you are struggling, please reach out to our office today so we can help plug you in with community resources and trusted adult providers.

Starting a new school year, or a new school entirely can be exciting, but it can also bring anxiety, uncertainty, and stress.

Teens may not always express their worries directly, but you might notice signs like irritability, withdrawal from activities, changes in sleep or eating habits, or a drop in grades and motivation. Encourage open conversations, predictable routines, and time for rest and connection. Let your teen know it’s okay to feel overwhelmed during big transitions and give them some tips on how to cope.

If you need some coping skill tips, call our office today to schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric trained providers.

“The absolute best office you’ll find in North Texas!”

Arbor Pediatrics is the absolute best office you’ll find in North Texas! This is no exaggeration. First off, their staff is so prompt and efficient. They make every attempt to get you in same day if you need it and greet you with such a smile! They make paperwork easy and the check in process happens as you walk in the door, they’ve got it handled.

“Couldn’t have asked for a better doctor.”

Dr. Asgaonkar is absolutely amazing. She is very caring, knowledgeable, and respectful. She really listens to you and happily answers any questions you may have. My husband and I are so happy we found her for our baby. Couldn’t have asked for a better doctor. Also, the office is SO CLEAN.
