Torticollis is a condition where a tight neck muscle causes a child’s head to tilt to one side while the chin points to the opposite side. It can be present in infancy or noticed later in childhood.

Children with torticollis may prefer looking in one direction or have difficulty turning their head fully. Early stretching exercises and physical therapy are often very effective in improving range of motion and preventing long-term issues.

If you notice your child consistently tilting their head, favoring one side, or having limited neck movement, it is important to have them evaluated.

If you have concerns about head positioning or neck movement, contact Arbor Pediatrics to discuss next steps.

Memorial Day is a time to honor and remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. We are grateful to the military families who carry this legacy and sacrifice.

As many families gather and begin summer activities, it is also a good time to keep safety in mind. Use sun protection, stay hydrated, and practice water safety by supervising children closely around pools, lakes, and the beach.

Arbor Pediatrics hope your family has a safe and meaningful Memorial Day weekend.

Around twelve months, many babies are becoming more mobile, interactive, and engaged with their surroundings.

While every child develops at their own pace, there are several common milestones parents may begin to notice during this stage.

Common twelve month milestones may include:
- Pulling to stand and cruising along furniture
- Taking first steps or beginning to walk
- Saying simple words like “mama” or “dada” with meaning
- Waving, clapping, or using simple gestures
- Following simple directions
- Showing interest in exploring objects and their environment

Remember that development can vary from child to child, and some skills may appear earlier or later than others.

If you have questions about your child’s development or milestones, bring to your child’s one year visit at Arbor Pediatrics so progress can be reviewed together.

Has your teen been complaining of knee pain? It could be Osgood Schlatter.

Osgood Schlatter is a common cause of knee pain in growing adolescents, especially those who are active in sports that involve running and jumping. It occurs when the growth plate just below the kneecap becomes irritated from repeated stress during periods of rapid growth.

Teens may notice pain, swelling, or a bump just below the knee, often worse with activity like sports, running, or climbing stairs. Symptoms can come and go during growth spurts.

Management typically includes activity modification, stretching, ice, and supportive care to reduce strain on the area while the body continues to grow.

If knee pain is ongoing, causing limping, or limiting participation in activities, contact our office so we can evaluate it and develop a plan for safe return to activity.

Sleep regressions are common in the toddler years and can happen even after a child has been sleeping well. These changes are often temporary and can be linked to normal development.

Common causes include teething, changes in routine or schedule, new fears or separation anxiety, and developmental milestones such as language growth or increased independence. Toddlers may resist bedtime, wake more during the night, or have difficulty settling.

These phases are usually short-lived, and maintaining a consistent bedtime routine can help provide stability during this time.

If sleep struggles are lasting longer than expected or are significantly affecting your child or family, call to schedule an appointment so we can help guide you.

Many college campuses offer “Safe Walk” or escort programs that provide students with a safe way to get around campus, especially at night.

These services are often run by campus security or trained staff and are designed to help students feel more secure when walking alone.

Using a Safe Walk program is a smart and responsible choice, not an overreaction. Planning ahead, saving campus security numbers, and knowing how to request an escort can help students stay prepared.

Do you have any tips to share with new college students to stay safe? Share in the comments below.

“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.
