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.

Summer fun in the sun!
Choosing the right sunscreen for your child can make a big difference in protecting their skin. Look for one that says “broad-spectrum” to block both UVA and UVB rays, and make sure it has SPF of at least 30. For kids with sensitive skin, mineral-based options with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are often the gentlest.
Don’t forget to reapply every two hours - especially after swimming or sweating. A little extra effort now helps prevent damage later!
Still not sure what sunscreen to use? Next time you are in the office, ask your provider for suggestions and you might even be given samples!

College life can be exciting AND overwhelming. From academic pressure to homesickness, young adults often juggle more than they show. Encourage regular check-ins, normalize asking for help, and remind them that their mental health matters. Help them set up new routines for their new life that include exercise, socialization, and sleep. Exercise, good diet, and adequate sleep are three of the most important things for a young adult`s mental and physical health.
Most colleges offer counseling services at the student health center that can give support and life skills. Also, we’re still here as a resource while they adjust to life on their own.

One of the biggest benefits of a consistent medical home?
Your provider knows your child - how they grow, how they cope, and what’s changed since the last visit. That relationship means more personalized care, quicker answers, and a whole lot more trust. We’re honored to be part of your family’s health journey. At Arbor Pediatrics we strive to ensure your child is scheduled with the provider of your choice for all well visits. For sick visits we strive to have your child seen the same day so you may be placed with one of our other pediatric providers.
