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 - 🌸 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.
💭 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.
💚 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.

Dr. Chheda - 👂 Can ear infections happen overnight? Oh, most certainly they can!
I have seen a child, their ears looked perfect, and then the very next day they come back in and their ears are full of pus, they're so fiery red, and the kid is screaming and crying.
Yes, ear infections do happen overnight. It's unfortunate because I can only say that they are well in this moment. I can't predict what's gonna happen overnight or the next day.
💚 If you have been told that everything is fine, but something changes:
Your child gets a fever
Your child starts complaining of pain
Something is different
If ANYTHING changes in your child's symptoms, please go back to the doctor. It's perfectly fine, because these things can happen overnight.

🍽️ It's really important for your kids to eat healthy. One of my favorite, favorite websites is myplate .gov is amazing!
💚 What's myplate .gov? It actually will create a modified dietary plan for your child - individualized! Simply you put in your child's age, gender, sometimes height and weight, and it will come up to the ounce of how much of each food group your child should be consuming a day.
Wow, so like calorie intakes, everything? All the things! All the things! So eat healthy, eat right, and check out myplate .gov!

🌟 "Dr. Chheda has been our pediatrician for over a decade. We initially left Harmony Pediatrics when they switched to DPC, but returned when my daughter developed a medical issue. Dr. Chheda's personalized care, availability, and expertise have been invaluable, exceeding our expectations. The monthly fee is worth the exceptional service provided." 🌟

Dr. Chheda - 🎯 "How do I motivate my child?" - This is the question I get all the time.
Short answer: You can't. Long answer: You can, but it takes time.
💚 First, understand your child - what makes them tick?
🥕 Carrot child (rewards):
Do well on exam = $5?
Motivated by positive rewards
🪵 Stick child (consequences):
Fail exam = repeat class
Motivated by avoiding consequences
👥 Friend-motivated:
Best friend on baseball team = they want to join
Peer pressure works
👨‍🏫 Adult-motivated:
Coach, relative, role model tells them = they do it
Example: Middle schoolers won't shower until they're interested in someone else, then suddenly they care about hygiene!
It depends on age, situation, child. Sometimes carrot, sometimes stick, sometimes somebody else, sometimes peer pressure.
I don't have a magic pill (wish I did - I'd give it to my own kids!). It's next to impossible to motivate your child when you want them to do something and they don't. Don't be obstinate and get into a head-butt.
Take a step back, think about it, go forward. Get help when you need it.

Dr. Chheda - 👶 According to my mom, by the time I was eight months old, I was walking, I was talking, and I was toilet trained. I was not.
Don't let your neighbors, the Instagrammers, the TikTokers tell you that your baby should be doing this by this age, otherwise they are gonna be very, very delayed. No!
💚 Every baby has their own range when they develop:
Some babies are a little bit more advanced
Some babies are a little bit later
That doesn't necessarily mean they're delayed (unless you've seen your pediatrician)
Your baby should be progressing from milestone to milestone at regular intervals. That's why we want to see babies at regular intervals - to make sure they are achieving the milestones and are progressing on to the next level.
We don't ever want a baby not to reach a milestone by the latest possible age range, and we also want to make sure that they are progressing.
✅ Make sure you take your child to their pediatrician at all the appointments so they can test, check, to make sure that your baby has reached the milestones that they're supposed to by that point.

Dr. Chheda - 🚽 I've got so many middle schoolers that will come in and say that they refuse to use the restroom at school. They hold it and they hold it, and then they come home and then they have to go.
Why won't they use the bathroom at school? It's because these bathrooms are full of kids who are va**ng, who are doing drugs, who are smoking. And you want to think that it doesn't happen in your school, but it does.
⚠️ Reality check: It's happening in schools across the country - all middle schools, all high schools, probably elementary schools too when teachers aren't aware.
💚 What to teach your child:
✅ Cover their nose
✅ Go in quickly
✅ Use the bathroom
✅ Come back out
✅ That's it!
You still want your child to use the bathroom when their body tells them - not hold it and end up with a urinary tract infection or constipation. Listen to your body signals!

💤 So a few healthy tips that we often forget about. The first is sleeping. It is important to sleep well at night, averaging about eight to nine hours for teenagers, 10 to 13 hours for younger kiddos that are in school. Making sure you're well rested, having a good sleep routine.
🌈 You also want to eat healthy. I know sometimes that's a difficult one, but try to have some balance with it. It really does make a difference. At Harmony Pediatrics, we often tell our patients to eat the rainbow, so they're eating their fruits, their grains, their veggies, their protein, their dairy - all the things.
🏃‍♀️ Being active is also very important - at least 30 minutes a day, three to four days a week of physical activity.
📱 And don't forget screen time - limit the screen time as much as you can. The screen time that we're talking about is more of the video games, your internet surfing, your TikTok videos. You want to limit that, and especially before bedtime - no screens an hour before bedtime.
Remember, small choices today grow big healthy futures tomorrow.

Dr. Chheda - 😓 If you're feeling overstimulated or out of touch, that's not a weakness - you might have burnout. Sleep deprivation, constant caregiving is exhausting.
⚠️ Signs of burnout:
Irritability
Crying
Not being in touch with others
Resentment towards others (they're not doing what you're doing)
💚 Small resets:
✅ Take a 20-minute nap
✅ Walk outside in nature
✅ ASK FOR HELP (perfectly fine!)
We don't fix everything. We want to be good role models for our children. Ask for help so your child can say, "Oh, when I'm feeling overwhelmed, I need to ask for help." You as a parent should be asking for help too.
Constant caregiving is completely exhausting.

Dr. Chheda - 👶 You've seen infants with helmets on their heads, and what is that for? That is because they had some flattening of their head at some point, and the helmet is supposed to help shape their head back into a normal round shape.
Why does it happen? Flat spots happen when babies are placed in the same position again and again - sleeping in same position, not rotating head, or being held in your arms with head in same position.
💚 How to prevent:
✅ Move baby's head from side to side when sleeping
✅ Don't keep on same side all the time
✅ Hold them in either arm
✅ Put them down right-sided sometimes, left-sided sometimes
✅ They're always looking at something different
✅ More tummy time during the day (when awake!)
⚠️ Why more common now? Because sleeping on front/side can cause SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). We want all babies sleeping on their backs. That's why we've seen more head flattening. But we can prevent it by making sure baby moves their head consistently and does tummy time to keep pressure off their head.
