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!)

Around six months, babies are becoming more active, curious, and expressive. You may notice new movements and sounds emerging as your baby continues to grow and explore.

Every baby develops at their own pace, but here are common milestones many parents see around this age:

What many 6-month-olds are doing:
- Rolling both directions (tummy to back and back to tummy)
- Reaching for and grasping objects, often bringing them to their mouth
- Sitting with support or briefly sitting independently
- Babbling with sounds like “ba,” “da,” or “ma”
- Responding to their name and enjoying social interaction
- Showing curiosity about people and surroundings

Remember, milestone timelines can vary, and development is not a race.

Your baby’s six-month visit is a great time to talk through milestones and any questions you have so bring your observations, and we’ll review them together. Need to schedule a wellness visit? Call our office today to schedule.

Toddlers are still learning balance and coordination, so minor falls and bumps are very common, especially as they climb, run, and explore.

Most small tumbles are harmless and don’t require medical care.

However, call your provider or seek care if you notice red flags such as repeated vomiting, unusual sleepiness, confusion, behavior changes, loss of consciousness, severe headache, or difficulty walking.

Trust your instincts. Parents often know when something doesn’t feel right.

If you’re ever unsure after a fall, give our office a call. Remember we are available 24-7.

Spring is a great time to refresh more than just our homes. It’s also a chance to check in on mental and emotional well-being.

Clearing mental clutter can be as simple as setting realistic expectations, taking breaks from constant notifications, spending time outdoors, or having regular check-ins about stress with your kids and teens.

Small boundaries like device-free meals or consistent bedtime routines can help both parents and kids feel more grounded.

If stress, worry, or mood changes are lingering or starting to affect daily life, reach out to our office or message us through the portal. We are here to support you and your family.

Choosing sunscreen doesn’t have to be confusing!

Look for SPF 30 or higher, apply generously, and reapply every two hours, or sooner if swimming or sweating. Mineral sunscreens are often well tolerated for sensitive skin.

Remember to pair sunscreen with hats, shade, and protective clothing for the best coverage.

For infants younger than 6 months, consult with your provider prior to using any sunscreen products.

Questions about sunscreen or skin sensitivity? Give Arbor Pediatrics a call so we can help keep your child’s skin safe.

Spring is a great time to clean out your medicine cabinet.

Check expiration dates, safely discard old or unused medications, and keep all medicines locked and out of reach of children.

If you’re unsure how to safely dispose of medications, give our nurses a call and they can provide you with a list of local agencies that accept medication disposing.

Questions about your toddler’s nap schedule?

Many toddlers continue to need naps, but nap patterns can change quickly during this stage. Most children 1–3 years old still benefit from one nap per day, usually lasting 1–3 hours. As toddlers grow, naps may shorten or become inconsistent.

Signs a child may be getting ready to drop a nap include taking a long time to fall asleep at bedtime, fighting naps regularly, or very late afternoon naps interfering with nighttime sleep. Even when naps shorten or disappear, quiet rest time such as reading, puzzles, or calm play still helps toddlers reset and prevents over-tiredness.

If you have questions about your toddler’s nap schedule, reach out today to talk with one of our providers.

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.
