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!)

Am I overfeeding my newborn?

Newborns love to eat and often overfeed if not given a limit. Signs of overfeeding include an increased spitting up and/or rapid weight gain.

In the first few weeks of life, a newborn will typically need 2-2.5 ounces per feed or to breastfeed 20-30 minutes. All newborns should be taken to their scheduled appointments with their provider so their weight can be assessed.

Newborns should be seen within 24-48 hours of being discharged from the hospital and then typically again around 10-14 days of age unless your provider recommends differently.

If you are concerned your newborn is eating too much or not enough, call our office today to schedule a weight check.

Got red eyes?

Pink eye (conjunctivitis) is a common presenting symptom here at Arbor Pediatrics, but not all pink eye cases are contagious.

Bacterial - very red eyes with thick, mucus discharge. Contagious and require antibiotic drops.

Viral - pink to mild red eyes with minimal discharge. Often crusty lashes in the mornings or after a nap. Think of this one as a cold in the eyes. It typically accompanies an upper respiratory cold. No drops are needed. It’s the most common type of pink eye.

Allergic - Itchy, watery, mildly pink eyes. This type is commonly seen during allergy seasons. Allergy eye drops can be used for relief.

Irritant - Pink/red eyes, but often no discharge noted. Commonly seen after a child gets soap in their eyes or after swimming in the pool (chlorine). No drops typically needed.

Unsure if your child has the contagious type of pink eye? Call our office to schedule a virtual or in office appointment to see one of our providers.

Did you know that each year, around 2.5 million sports-related concussions occur in the U.S.?

Concussions are a serious concern, especially for young athletes. While they may seem mild, even a small bump to the head can cause long-term damage if not properly managed. It’s crucial to always take head injuries seriously - never allow a player to return to the game without being cleared by a healthcare professional. Symptoms like dizziness, confusion, or nausea can indicate a concussion, and if left untreated, it can lead to more severe brain injuries.

Has your child experienced a head injury? Call our office today to schedule an appointment with one of our providers.

Molluscum Contagiousum: What every parent should know.

Molluscum contagiosum is a common viral skin infection, especially in children, that causes small, raised, round bumps on the skin. The condition is typically harmless and will go away without any treatment. The downside to this bumpy rash is that it can linger for 15-36 months. Once a lesion pops up, typically another lesion is developing too. Each lesion typically stays on the skin for 3-6 months, but the entire process can take up to 3 years before your child is bump-free.

Molluscum can be spread to others by direct skin-to-skin contact, or by sharing personal items like towels, razors, or sports equipment.

While most cases of molluscum resolve without any treatment, the pediatric experts at Arbor Pediatrics can help you confirm the cause of your child’s pesky bumps and discuss if any treatment is necessary. Call us today for a rash evaluation appointment.

Choosing a daycare or preschool can be very stressful.

Here are a few things to consider when making a choice:
~ What’s the caregiver-to-child ratio?
~ How does the facility handle discipline & safety?
~ Are there enrichment activities (arts, playtime, etc.)?
~ What holidays do they close?
~ Do they offer a list of references?

Your child’s new daycare may require a form to be completed by their health provider prior to enrolling and we can help you out! We ask you to give us 72 hours to complete any required form.

Have you had a good experience with a local daycare or preschool? Tag them below.
