A cane or walker can be a great way to maintain your independence and reduce your risk of falling, but only if it’s used correctly and fits your body! Here are a few key safety tips:
✅ Choose the right height: When your arm hangs loosely at your side, the top of your cane or walker should line up with your wrist.
✅ Use your stronger side: Hold the cane on the side of your stronger leg and move it with your weaker leg.
✅ Take your time: Move slowly, keep your back straight, and look ahead, not down.
✅ Check for safety: Ensure rubber tips are in good condition and wear supportive, non-skid shoes.
✅ Clear your path: Remove cords, rugs, and clutter to avoid tripping hazards.
A well-fitted cane or walker and a few mindful habits can make every step a safer one.

Most parents follow the CDC’s recommended immunization schedule, and for good reason. It’s carefully designed to protect children from serious illness.
🩹 Vaccinating on time keeps your little one safe during their most vulnerable years.
🩹 Delaying shots can leave babies unprotected when they need it most.
🩹 Staying on schedule protects your child and those around them, especially loved ones with weakened immune systems.
Think of vaccines like a car seat or bike helmet, they only work if used before danger strikes. Buckle up your child’s immune system by following the recommended schedule!

Nightmares are common in childhood, especially between ages 3 and 12, and while they can be scary for kids (and parents!), they’re usually a normal part of growing up. Most children will outgrow their nightmares, but frequent bad dreams can sometimes disrupt sleep or cause anxiety about bedtime.
💭 Reassure your child after a bad dream
💭 Offer comfort items like a stuffed animal
💭 Encourage calm routines like reading or deep breathing before bed
💭 If nightmares happen often or cause distress, talk with your pediatrician. We can help identify underlying causes and suggest helpful strategies. Sweet dreams start with feeling safe, supported, and understood. 💙

During pregnancy, there’s a long list of things to avoid, but exercise isn’t one of them! Unless your doctor advises otherwise, staying active during pregnancy offers major benefits:
✨ Reduces back pain, bloating, and swelling
✨ Improves sleep
✨ Lowers risk of gestational diabetes
✨ May even help shorten labor
If you were active before pregnancy, it’s usually safe to keep moving, just listen to your body and adjust as needed. Walking, swimming, yoga, and light strength training are all great options. Always check with your doctor before starting or changing your routine. Every pregnancy is unique, and so is your path to staying strong and healthy!

Keeping baby bottles clean is key to keeping your little one healthy! After every feeding:
🍼 Take apart all pieces (bottle, ni**le, collar, cap, valves).
🍼 Wash with warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher (top rack only).
🍼 Let all parts air-dry completely on a clean surface — no dish towels.
🍼 Sterilize bottles when they’re new, for the first 3 months of life, after your baby’s been sick, or if you’re using well water.
Clean feeding gear means peace of mind for parents, and a happy tummy for baby! 💙

Does your child ever complain of leg pain at night? They might be experiencing growing pains: common, harmless aches that often occur in children ages 3 to 12.

Talk to us at your next appointment if you notice your child’s pain is severe, frequent, or affects daily activities. We’re always here to help rule out other causes and recommend more ways to make them comfortable! 💙
