Dr. Chheda - πŸ₯• 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!
πŸ’š 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 - πŸ₯¦ A recent study showed that toddlers and children, even teenagers, are not getting enough fiber in their diet. What is fiber and why is it so important?
πŸ“Š Fiber needs:
Toddlers/kids: 20 grams/day
Teenagers: 30 grams/day
Reality: Toddlers getting only 5-10 grams!
πŸ’š Two types of fiber:
Soluble (dissolves in water) - prevents gut inflammation, helps immune function
Insoluble - produces bowel movements, prevents colon cancer
⚠️ Why this matters: We're seeing teenagers, 20-year-olds, 30-year-olds diagnosed with colon cancer. Screening age dropped from 50 to 45. Why? They didn't get fiber as kids.
🍎 Fiber sources:
Pear: 5g
Apple: 5g
Whole grains
Triscuits: 4g per serving
You need LOTS of fruits & vegetables daily to prevent autoimmune diseases, eczema, infections, and colon cancer.

Dr. Chheda - πŸ€— You might be meeting lots of family and friends over the holidays, and you might be telling your child to go hug a person. Now if your child is comfortable doing that, that's fine. But if your child is uncomfortable hugging anybody or having anybody touch them, it is perfectly fine. Do not shame your child, do not blame your child.
πŸ’š Your child does not need to hug everybody that is around them. You need to protect them - they are your child. You don't have to save face in society. Please protect your child.
If they really don't want to hug somebody, that's perfectly fine. You can say, you can be polite and say hello. You can observe, "My child is not comfortable with touch, with other people's touch. My child is sensitive," however you want to phrase it. But don't force your child to do something that is not necessary.

🀒 Tell me about your weekend. My weekend was okay, but oh my gosh, that whole stomach bug came through my house! Ugh, disgusting!
Moment of truth - I do not like vomit. I can deal with all kinds of things, but vomit is almost like kryptonite to me. And trying to get it out of your carpet - almost impossible! Do you have tricks?
πŸ’š Carpet cleaning hack:
Blot up chunks & liquid (NEVER scrub!)
Make paste: baking soda + dish soap + peroxide (or vinegar)
Wet area first, apply paste
Lifts residue to surface
Blot it out (still no scrubbing!)
Scrubbing pushes it deeper in! Good to know! Stay healthy!

Dr. Chheda - πŸ‘‚ A lot of kids want to get their ears pierced, and that's perfectly fine for them to do. You want to make sure that you go to a place that uses sterile equipment to pierce ears. And after the earring is placed, you want to follow the instructions - keep the area nice and clean with lots of soap and water every day.
βœ… Once healed, the earring should not:
Hurt
Ooze
Bleed
Scab
⚠️ If there's a problem, your child might be allergic to the earring material.
πŸ’š Safe earring materials:
100% medical grade plastic (what we use at Harmony Pediatrics!)
Titanium
100% sterling silver
These usually don't cause skin reactions. If you or your child is interested in ear piercing, please contact us at Harmony Pediatrics!

Dr. Chheda - 🀧 One of the most annoying symptoms is cough. Now there are different types of cough:
1️⃣ Dry scratchy throat cough β†’ Drink water
2️⃣ Choking cough β†’ Pat back, it'll pass
3️⃣ Asthmatic cough (wheezing, can't breathe deep) β†’ Give albuterol!
4️⃣ Dry barky cough at night β†’ Sign of croup
5️⃣ Wet cough with runny nose β†’ The most annoying!
πŸ’š For that wet cough: DO NOT stop it! The cough is protective - it's protecting the lungs from mucus draining down. If you stop the cough, all that mucus will drain into their lungs and turn into pneumonia.
What to do instead: Dry up the mucus! Use saline and have them blow their nose, or use an antihistamine. Once the mucus is gone, the cough automatically stops.

Dr. Chheda - 🌸 Okay, for all you moms who have girls - all the girl moms - if you were, you know, in your late 20s, early 30s when you had your girl, and now 12 years later, your girl is starting to go through puberty, she's starting to menstruate, her moods are all over the place, she's going a little wacky, she's a little crazy. But guess what, moms? You are now in your late 40s and you are going through perimenopause.
πŸ’­ Your hormones are also cycling. Your daughter's hormones are cycling up, but your hormones are cycling down. And guess what? You're moody and cranky, and now you put the two of you together - no wonder you guys are headbutting each other.
πŸ’š So just realize some of this is natural, but it might be time for you as a mom to get your hormones checked. Hormone replacement therapy, menopause - talk to your physician.

πŸ₯” Making your own baby food - it can save time, definitely some money, and it is tons of fun. Only if you like to cook! I like to cook, so I used to make my babies' baby food all the time.
πŸ’° Cost comparison:
Store-bought sweet potato pouches: 27-34 cents/oz (now 25 cents MORE with inflation!)
Fresh sweet potato: 15-25 cents/pound
One sweet potato = several meals! And that's not even a whole pound.
🍼 You can season it. For 6-months-old, add breast milk or formula to make it more of a puree, thin it out. So definitely worth your while.

🌟"Dr. Chheda has been in our lives since the day my daughter has been born four years ago. She is just wonderful at what she does and has cared for my daughter with utmost support in all areas. Every single question has been answered (and there were many over the years) and all phone calls/emails have been returned the same day or the following morning (depending on the urgency of my questions).

With Dr. Chheda I don’t have to repeat myself every time as she knows my daughter in and out. She knows how to approach treatments when necessary and also assures that she receives the best care at any point. Dr. Chheda has guided us through numerous events, and we are grateful for her patience and kindness. She not only cares for her little patients, but also the parents as well. We love Dr. Chheda and her team at Harmony Pediatrics and highly recommend them to any parent."🌟

Dr. Chheda - 🚴 The other day I saw a mom and her toddler bike riding on the sidewalk, and it's great. I'm glad that parents are going out with your kids. I'm glad kids are active. However, what bothered me - and I'm not sure if it bothered me because I'm a mom or because I'm a pediatrician - but the child was on the curb edge of the sidewalk while the mom was on the inner side.
⚠️ Now I prefer the parent to be on the outside, on the curb side, and the child to be on the inside of the sidewalk. You never know what's gonna happen - the child loses balance, a car veers off the wrong way. You never want the child to be the first one to be hurt.
πŸ’š Please, if you're walking with your toddler, if you're bike riding, scooter riding, whatever - please have your toddler on the inside of the sidewalk and you be on the curb of the sidewalk. Thank you.
