6 days old...
Celebrating new life this season, even right here in Belfast. During our closure due to flooding in the Cobb building, I was proud to do the first checkup for this healthy newborn on their couch. Welcome to the world little one!

Flooding in Cobb---

Sorry to report that we'll be limited in what we can do over the next week or so. We're still here, working with the hospital to find a safe place to work. You can reach us by email: belfastpeds@yahoo.com or by phone until we get back to business as usual. I'll post an update as soon as I can! Meanwhile stay warm out there!

Flu Update-
Just a few cases of influenza in Maine so far this year, but global data point to an early season for this new H3N2 strain.
With the holidays coming up, now is the time to get a flu shot if you want it to be effective by Thanksgiving. Obviously, simple measures like handwashing, covering coughs and masking are still helpful. We also have vaccines for other winter germs like Covid, RSV and Pertussis for some groups.

"New data published by the UKHSA this week shows the 2025-2026 vaccine is currently 70 to 75 per cent effective at preventing hospital attendance in children aged two to 17 years, and 30 to 40 per cent effective in adults."

Give us a call if you want your child protected- 338-4257

52,000 children in Maine are fed through the SNAP program. While our Congress enjoys its 5th week of paid time off during the shutdown, we are still at work. We wanted to do our part to help our local families who are no longer getting help to feed their kids. Hang in there folks- we've got your back!

Great Parents vs. Players game Saturday Drinkwater School! In an exciting full-time tie, the game went on to Penalty Kicks when the parents barely edged the players, featuing Geir Gaseidnes going against Braden "the wall" as the players' goalkeeper. Money raised will go to support a home field for Northport soccer, for the first time in the school's history. Great job everybody!

Celebrating a new delivery!
As hospitals around the state shutter their delivery units, we are proud to announce a newborn delivery right here at Belfast Pediatrics! While it's not "human," we are nonetheless excited about our new baby anemone, seen in the upper left of the photo. Our momma anemone split off her baby last week, with our clown fish standing guard as always. Celebrating the next generation as best we can!

As the headlines about cutting Medicaid roll across the news feed, do we really think we should 'balance' the nation's budget on baby A? She was born 5lbs 4oz, is it really her job to sacrifice her health to cut taxes on billionaires? She was 8 lbs. today. Keep growing baby!
