Here are a few tips to make your transition a little smoother:

~ Start pumping a few weeks before returning to work to build a freezer stash

~ Invest in a quality pump (check if insurance covers it)

~ Label & store milk safely (don’t forget a cooler bag)

~Talk to your employer about pumping breaks and private space

~ Nurse before and after work to maintain connection and supply

Want personalized tips? The providers at Arbor Pediatrics understand the working parent juggle so give us a call today to schedule an appointment to chat.

It’s common for teens to shift friend groups as they grow, explore new interests, or navigate social changes. These transitions can be confusing or even upsetting, but they’re a normal part of adolescence.

Parents can support friendship changes by staying informed, encouraging healthy peer interactions, and taking the opportunity to meet new friends when possible.

Let us know if you’d like to talk about how to support your teen through it. We also understand teens may need a space to talk things out without parents too. They’re welcome to make an appointment with a provider to discuss any personal or social concerns.

Eczema is a chronic skin condition that causes dry, itchy, and inflamed patches, especially in young children. While it can be linked to allergies or sensitivities to foods, fabrics, or environmental triggers, not all cases of eczema are allergy-related.

To decrease the amount of eczema flares, keep the skin moisturized with fragrance-free ointments or creams (lotions not as beneficial), avoid long hot baths, and dress your child in soft, breathable fabrics. Identifying and avoiding triggers like certain soaps, foods, or allergens can help too.

Need help managing your child’s eczema? We can work with you to create a plan. Reach out to one of our nurses via the patient portal today to get the process started.

Hormonal changes, stress, and growing independence can all contribute to mood swings during the teen years.

Occasional irritability, frustration, or sadness is normal, but if your teen’s mood changes are extreme, persistent, or affect daily life, it may be time to check in.

During well visits and as needed, we screen for signs of depression and anxiety to help identify emotional concerns early.

Are you concerned about your teen’s emotional health? Call Arbor Pediatrics so we can help you decide if further support is needed.

In the first few days after birth, frequent feeding (8–12 times per day) is expected as your baby learns to nurse and your milk supply starts to increase. In the first few days, your body will produce colostrum (liquid gold). Colostrum is rich in nutrients and antibodies that help protect your newborn. It’s common for milk to take a few days to come in, and some mothers may experience engorgement or discomfort.

Latching may require practice, and it’s normal to have questions or need guidance.

We understand bringing a new baby home can be overwhelming and that is why we are here for you in those early days for all your needs, 24-7.

Call our office to speak with a provider, schedule an appointment, or you can send us a portal message. Arbor Pediatrics will ensure you have all the resources needed for a successful transition home with your new baby.

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.
