🫣 we know we know .. the season is upon us, but why!!

Right now kids are fighting influenza and stomach bug!

We wish & pray for all our little patients to have a joyful and wondrous Christmas and holiday season.

So here’s our two or more cents to prevent or decrease illness severity in your home this season.

✋🏼 sugar! 🍪 🍫 🍬 Despite the fun in the season we definitely over consume - being mindful of how much is key! Enjoy Santa’s cookies and hot chocolate but maybe not multiple times a day or every day of the season!

👍🏼 hand hygiene! 🫧 Encourage hand washing before eating & after using the restroom! We love Thieves hand sanitizer- so something similar is a quick safe way to keep those little hands clean.

👍🏼 rest! 🥱 With all the holiday happenings we can easily get over booked and worn out! Continue to prioritize 8-10 hours of sleep each night for your kids! Remember to wash pillows and bedsheets!

✋🏼oral care 🪥 Swap out toothbrushes and ensure nightly and morning brushing! Our mouth can be a gateway for exposure to pathogens.

👍🏼 nutrition 🥕 Prioritize Whole Foods with fruit and vegetables, whole grains, and protein & full fats! Avoid over consumption of processed and ultra processed foods. Increase water & clean electrolytes - half your child’s body weight in water.

💪🏽 General Immune Support -
✨Rowe Casa Immune roller for babies

✨Systemic Formula Tuff Play for toddlers

✨Standard Process Congaplex chewables for school age kids

✨DesBio ProDefense capsules for teens

IF the crud has snuck into your home - call us and we can help develop a specific plan for your child!

Children often reveal what's happening inside through their actions, moods, or energy before they can express it in words.

We don't rush to judge or overlook. Instead, we take time to observe, listen, and uncover the deeper patterns. Every behavior has a story.

What may appear as restlessness, mood swings, trouble focusing, or irritability might be the body signaling a need for support, whether from nutrition, gut health, blood sugar changes, or environmental factors.

By finding the root cause, we can offer solutions that truly last.

Wondering what's behind your child's symptoms? Schedule a visit, and let's discover the answers together.

We love hearing feedback like this! 💛 Our team strives to make every visit comfortable, friendly, and even fun for kids from start to finish. Thank you for trusting us with your little ones and letting us be part of their care journey!

"Absolutely fantastic team of ladies! My girls will look forward to every future visit. Walked my girls through every step and gladly answered any questions. I felt comfortable and confident to sit back and let them do their thing. They immediately put my girls at ease with their quick connection and we left feeling like we made new friends. lol We were in for staple removal and my little didn’t even notice as they chatted away about her favorite things. Thank you so much to Dr. Jennifer and I believe, nurse Tiffany."

Let’s bust a few myths we’ve all heard before… 🙃

Sugar isn't the cause of hyperactivity, milk isn’t the only way to strong bones, and fevers aren’t always scary.

Swipe to see what’s true (and what’s just old-school advice that needs an update).

Cradle cap is a common skin condition in newborns. It shows up as thick, flaky, or crusty patches on the scalp (sometimes yellow, white, or brown). It usually doesn’t bother your baby and often clears on its own.

✨ The good news? You can usually help it improve at home!

How to care for cradle cap at home:

🧴 Massage a little oil (coconut, olive, avocado) into flaky spots.
🚿 Wash with gentle baby shampoo about 15 minutes later. Don’t leave oil on without washing.
🪥 Loosen flakes gently with a soft brush or washcloth (no picking!).
🔁 Repeat every 1–3 days until it clears.

Cradle cap often resolves on its own if it spreads to the face/body or does not resolve within 1–2 weeks please checking with your pediatric provider!!

There IS more we can do to help balance the body!
