Dr. Chheda - 🥕 How do you get your toddler to eat more vegetables? There's lots of different ways. I'll just tell you what I did.
🍲 I would blend up whatever vegetables we had, cooked them, blended them, added some spices to them, and then made a vegetable soup. And I gave it to them in a bowl with a straw, so all they had to do was suck them. That was fun!
💚 And every week I would make vegetable soup, and I would put in different vegetables. Whatever we had would go into the vegetable soup. And they'll be like, "Well, this tastes a little different this week, mom." "Yes it does, but that's okay you can eat it."
🐠 You can put some goldfish on top of them, you know, make it a little fun. But at least they're getting their vegetables.
What things have you done with your toddler to help them eat their vegetables? Put them in a pressure cooker.

Dr. Chheda - 👶 What are the five S's that Dr. Harvey Karp has talked about to have a happy baby? These are the five S's that all pediatricians talk about.
The five S's include:
1️⃣ Swaddling your baby
2️⃣ Swinging your baby
3️⃣ Side (having baby lay on their side or stomach while swinging)
4️⃣ Shushing your baby
5️⃣ Sucking on something (like a pacifier)
💚 If you do this on a regular basis, you will have the happiest baby on the block.

🥦 Let's talk about our picky eaters. What if your child refuses to eat vegetables?
💚 Solutions that work:
1️⃣ Get kids in the kitchen! My 11-year-old made ratatouille - participated in slicing, roasting vegetables, making tomato sauce. It was so fun!
2️⃣ Start a garden together! Growing fresh vegetables = engagement.
3️⃣ Hide vegetables! Doesn't matter if they like them, as long as they're eating them. Any form works!
🥣 Easy lentil soup recipe:
1 cup dry lentils
5 cups water
Any veggies (yellow squash, bell peppers, celery, potato, carrots)
Boil 45 min, blend with immersion blender
Add salt, pepper, cumin
🍝 Pasta sauce hides everything! Chop up bell peppers, roasted eggplant - mix with pasta!
Think outside the box and involve your kids!

🌟"I am so grateful for Dr. Chheda! If you are looking for a pediatrician that knows your child, cares for their health and overall well-being, then you will be in such trusting, competent, and caring hands at Harmony Pediatrics. Dr. Chheda spends time talking to my daughter about her life, her interests, and her health. She explains and teaches what is going on with my daughter's body to me and to my daughter. She is accessible (phone/text/portal/appointment) for emergencies! She is aware of and sensitive to my daughter's unique set of special needs, taking time to help us come up with a plan that works specifically for our family. I am so glad we stayed with her since the switch to DPC and appreciate the clear explanation of membership pricing. My daughter is 17, and we've been with Dr. Chheda for over 6 years."🌟

Dr. Chheda - ⭐ You may have seen teenagers, some adults, with these little star stickers on their faces. Do you know what those are? Those are pimple patches, and they are a game changer.
💊 There's two kinds:
Salicylic acid patches - for pimples with a head that have NOT popped
Colloid patches - for pimples that HAVE burst and are open
🚫 They prevent you from picking at the pimple, so you don't end up with scars.
💚 You can only use these on actual whitehead pimples, not cystic acne - just the ones on the surface that we typically associate with teenagers.
Put them on overnight or during the day, take it off, and your skin can be nice and clear. Try one out!

Dr. Chheda - 📱 "I really, really want a phone, but my mom won't give me one."
Ah, that feels so bad. I'm sorry. However, the American Academy of Pediatrics doesn't recommend kids being on social media until they're in eighth grade. So I really don't recommend having your own phone until you're in eighth grade.
💚 Why wait until 8th grade?
You've learned enough about how the world works
You're mature enough to handle phone responsibilities
Before 8th grade: ✅ Use laptop or computer for work (don't need phone!) ✅ Watch TV/movies with family on big TV ❌ Don't be on phone all the time, hidden from family
I don't want you on your phone all the time and not interacting with everybody else. Wait until you're in eighth grade!

Dr. Chheda - 🐕 If your child wakes up after a nap or in the middle of the night and they have a barky cough - it's a really dry cough and it really does sound like a dog barking - that could be a sign of croup.
⚠️ Croup is very normal, very common in kids under the age of six. But those kids under the age of two, we really worry about because that cough indicates that their airway is actually closing up and they're having a hard time breathing.
❄️ What you can do: Anything to help your child relax, keep them calm. Make sure they're well hydrated. Open up the freezer and have them breathe in that cold air. It's the equivalent of putting ice on something that's swollen. They need that cold, cold air to breathe in to decrease the swelling in their airway.
🚨 If they're under the age of 2, please either call 911, call your pediatrician, but get help.

🩺 In pediatrics, how important are the preventative visits?
Well visits are SUPER important! A lot of times people will only come in if their child needs vaccines and their school let them know, or if there's something wrong. But sometimes it might be too late to catch anything. So it's important to be consistent and keep up with your healthy visits.
💚 Visit schedule:
First year: Every 2-3 months (frequent!)
First two years: Pretty frequent
After age 3: Once a year
What we check at well visits:
✅ How things are going
✅ Eating & sleeping
✅ Growth parameters (proper, steady growth)
✅ Puberty timing (not too early or late)
✅ Overall well-being

🌟"Dr. Chheda has been my children's pediatrician for a long time, and I can confidently say she is exceptional. She's not only fantastic with the kids—making them feel comfortable, heard, and safe—but she's also incredibly supportive and understanding with parents.

What truly sets her apart is her willingness to listen and answer every question with patience and care. Whether we're dealing with everyday concerns or more challenging stages of parenting, she's always there with thoughtful guidance. My kids trust her completely and speak to her openly, which speaks volumes.

Dr. Chheda often goes beyond the role of a typical doctor, offering emotional support and practical advice like a trusted counselor. We feel lucky to have her as part of our lives."🌟

Dr. Chheda - 😴 What are the age ranges and how long should each range be going to sleep for?
Sleep is very important. Sleep is when the body heals and grows.
💚 Sleep requirements by age:
Babies/Infants: 10-12 hours (actively growing!)
Elementary school: 8-10 hours (closer to 10)
Middle school: 8-9 hours
Teenagers: 12 hours (they're growing a lot!)
Adults: 7-8 hours
Teenagers would LOVE to sleep 12 hours - they just can't because they gotta get up and go to school! Sometimes they make up for it on weekends or holidays when they sleep in.
⏰ Best tip: Go to sleep around 9-10 PM (not midnight or 2 AM!) so you can get the sleep your body needs.

Dr. Chheda - 📱 "I have seen lots of elementary school kids who already have a phone. What do you think about that?"
I think while it is very exciting and alluring to have a phone during elementary school, we should be very cautious about being on the internet and online video games like Roblox and Fortnite.
⚠️ Real story: A school counselor's daughter gave away her address accidentally at age 6 to someone online. Almost cost her her life. The counselor stepped in and got the person arrested - he was a 42-year-old man.
💚 Safety tips parents use:
Monitor who kids talk to in online games
Don't allow voice recording on games like Fortnite
Tell kids to mute others
Don't give elementary kids their own cell phone where they can do things privately or in secret
There are lots of predators online. Parents need to be aware of who their child is talking to. We really don't want something unfortunate to happen.

Dr. Chheda - 📱 "I just got a new phone for my birthday, but I wanted to keep it in my room, but my mom says no. Why is that?"
Oh, I know it's so tempting to have that phone in your room, but I don't want you on your phone at night. I don't want people texting you. I don't want you to have the temptation to go on it. That's why I'd rather the phone be out of the room, so you get a very restful sleep.
📵 Nobody's gonna be calling you in the middle of the night - you're not on call. I have the phone next to me because patients actually call me - I'm on call. But unless you're a doctor, you don't need the phone next to you.
⏰ All the functions that a phone can do, like an alarm - you can have an alarm clock. Or sound - you can have a sound machine. But you should not have any screens in your room. That includes your phone or a TV.
