Toddlers love milk - but balance is key!
Around 16–24 ounces a day is just right. Too little, and they may miss out on calcium and vitamin D. Too much, and it can lead to low iron or a full belly that skips meals.
All toddlers 12-24 months should drink whole milk to ensure they get needed fat, but after they turn 2, we recommend switching to 2% or lower milk.
If you’re not sure your little one is getting what they need, we can help guide you.

Health insurance can be confusing - we get it!
Your deductible is the amount you pay out-of-pocket before your insurance kicks in for certain services. Whether a visit is covered often depends on your plan type and where you are in your deductible cycle.
If you’re unsure what to expect, call your insurance company before your visit, or reach out to our billing team for help navigating your coverage.

No two umbilical cords are the same and they can often cause anxiety for parents, but most concerns are common and benign.
One common issue that can occur after the cord falls off is called an umbilical granuloma.
An umbilical granuloma is a small, moist, reddish growth that can form at the site of a newborn’s umbilical cord stump. The granuloma can cause discharge and some might even bleed a little. Your baby’s health provider can determine if treatment is needed just by looking at it.
Common treatment for a granuloma is a quick touch of silver nitrate which cauterizes the area and helps it heal faster. The treatment is painless and takes less than 10 seconds.
Not sure if your baby’s umbilical cord is normal? Call our office today to schedule an appointment.
