~ 1-2 days after birth
~ 2 weeks
~ 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 months of age

Protect your child with these summer food safety tips:
~ Don’t leave food out for more than 2 hours (1 hour if it’s over 90°F).
~ Keep cold foods cold with plenty of ice or a cooler.
~ Cook meats thoroughly - no pink in burgers or chicken!
~ Wash hands before and after eating, especially after playing outdoors.

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among teens in the United States.
According to the CDC, nearly 1 in 5 high school students seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year. These numbers are heartbreaking, but prevention starts at home.
Creating a safe environment is vital if your teen is struggling with any depression or anxiety.
A few ways you can help reduce risk include securing all medications in a locked cabinet, including over-the-counter pain relievers, storing firearms safely - unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition, and limiting access to alcohol or other substances, monitoring online activity and fostering open, ongoing conversations about emotions and mental health.
If you’re worried about your teen or have questions about mental health, the providers at Arbor Pediatrics are trained to help. Mental health treatment is most effective as a team approach with the teen, provider, caregivers, and licensed counselor working together. Call us or schedule a visit to talk more.

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.
