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!)

Is your teen heading off to college? Do you have questions about managing their medications?

Managing medications independently is an important part of preparing for college life. Make sure your student knows when and how to take their meds, has enough refills, and understands how to get in touch with their provider if issues arise. Set reminders if needed and keep a list of medications in an accessible place.

We’re happy to help you and your college student get everything organized before the semester starts. Call us to schedule a prep visit.

Feeling nervous about the new school year is normal for both kids and parents.

Some worry is expected, but if your child experiences trouble sleeping, frequent tummy aches, or major clinginess, it could be anxiety. Start routines early, talk openly about their feelings, and validate their concerns. Small steps like visiting the school beforehand and letting them pick out fun items off their school list can make a big difference.

What’s your child most excited (or nervous) about for the new year? Or as Dr. A calls it “Nervcited” (nervous and excited at the same time).

Share below – we’d love to hear from you.

Time to size up?

Here’s how to know if your newborn needs the next diaper size: Tabs don’t meet in the middle or pop open, red marks on baby’s thighs or belly, frequent leaks or blowouts, or your baby hits the weight limit for the current size.

Still unsure?

Bring your questions to your next check-up or send our phone nurses a message today.

Too much screen time can impact your child’s sleep, focus, and behavior.

A few healthy limits to create for your family include setting a family media plan with clear rules, designating screen-free zones (like bedrooms and dinner tables), balance screen time with outdoor play and reading, and model healthy habits yourself.

Want personalized tips for your child’s age? Well visits are a great time to discuss screen time and internet safety with your child’s provider. Call Arbor Pediatrics today to schedule an appointment.

Lice happens and it’s nothing to be embarrassed about.

These tiny bugs spread easily through shared items like hats, brushes, or close contact. If your child is scratching their scalp more than usual or you spot tiny white nits (eggs), it`s time to check.

Over-the-counter treatments and thorough combing usually do the trick. If you are unsure about using OTC treatments, our providers can prescribe treatments you can do at home.

To prevent reinfestation after lice, wash bedding, clothing, and hats in hot water and dry on high heat, and seal non-washable items in a plastic bag for two weeks.

Call our phone nurse to find out what treatments are available for your child.

Wondering if it’s normal your newborn hasn’t pooped today?

Newborn pooping patterns vary. In the early weeks, all babies tend to stool every day. As your infant gets older (usually around 1 month of age), they may begin to have changes in their stooling frequency. Breastfed babies can go up to 7 days without stooling while formula fed babies tend to stool every 3-5 days. What matters most is stool consistency and comfort.

Call us if your baby seems uncomfortable, has a hard belly, refusing feeds, or projectile spitting.

Our Providers at Arbor Pediatrics are here for those “is this normal?” questions.

“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.
