As pediatricians, we emphasize family centred care meaning parents play a crucial role in helping children feel safe, prepared, and cooperative during healthcare visits.

🗣️𝟏. 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐲
Explain the visit in age-appropriate language. Avoid saying “it won’t hurt” if a vaccine is planned. Instead, say:

♦“The doctor will check how strong and healthy you are.”
♦“You might feel a quick pinch, but it will be over fast.”

🧸 𝟐. 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐈𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬
A favorite toy, blanket, or book can reduce stress and create familiarity in an unfamiliar environment.

🎯 𝟑. 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭
Praise cooperative behavior:
♦“You did such a brave job!”
♦“I’m proud of how you listened.”
Avoid bribes beforehand, but small rewards afterward can reinforce positive experiences.

Iron deficiency anemia is one of the most common nutritional conditions in early childhood and can have a significant impact on a child’s growth and brain development. Iron is essential for making hemoglobin, the part of red blood cells that carries oxygen to the body and brain.

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐅𝐨𝐫

♦Pale skin
♦Tiredness or low energy
♦Poor appetite
♦Delayed growth or development
♦Difficulty concentrating or irritability

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬
Many children with iron deficiency show few symptoms at first. Routine screening during early childhood allows pediatricians to detect anemia early and prevent long-term effects on growth and cognitive development.

𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭
♦Offer iron-rich foods such as lean meats, beans, lentils, leafy greens, and iron-fortified cereals
♦Pair iron-rich foods with vitamin C–rich foods to improve absorption
♦Follow pediatric guidance on iron supplementation when needed

Your child’s growth tells an important story about their overall health and development. As pediatricians, we use growth tracking to make sure your child is growing in a healthy and steady way and you play a key role in this process.

♦They give reassurance when growth is on track even if your child is smaller or taller than others

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰

♦Every child grows at their own pace comparisons with other children can be misleading
♦What matters most is a steady growth pattern, not a single measurement
♦Sudden changes in growth can signal the need for closer attention

Newborns cannot regulate their body temperature efficiently, so maintaining balanced warmth is essential especially in winter. The key is to keep them comfortably warm without trapping excess heat.

𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬
♦Dress newborns in light, breathable layers; usually one extra layer than an adult would wear.
♦Prefer cotton or soft fabrics that allow airflow and prevent sweating.
♦Keep indoor temperatures comfortable rather than over-layering the baby.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐈𝐟 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐲 𝐈𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞

♦Feel the back of the neck or chest (not hands or feet).

♦Sweating or damp hair
♦Flushed skin
♦Rapid breathing or restlessness

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬

Vitamin D plays a vital role in a child’s growth and overall health, yet deficiency becomes more common during winter months. Reduced sunlight exposure, shorter days, and more time spent indoors can significantly limit the body’s natural production of vitamin D, putting children at increased risk.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐈𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫
Sunlight is the primary source of vitamin D. During winter, weaker sunlight and limited outdoor exposure reduce skin synthesis of vitamin D. Additionally, common winter clothing covers most of the skin, further limiting absorption.

𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐕𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧 𝐃 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲
In children, low vitamin D levels have been associated with:
• Weakened bones and delayed bone development
• Increased risk of frequent infections
• Muscle weakness or fatigue
• Higher risk of rickets in severe cases
• Possible impact on mood and overall well-being

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐚 𝐏𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐧
If a child experiences frequent illnesses, bone pain, delayed growth, or fatigue, a pediatric evaluation is recommended. Blood testing and appropriate supplementation may be advised based on clinical needs.

Winter often brings a surge of health advice, but not all of it is accurate. Many common myths can cause unnecessary worry or lead parents to make decisions that may not benefit their child’s health. Understanding the facts helps families protect children more effectively during the colder months.

𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡 𝟏: 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬
Cold temperatures do not directly make children sick. Most winter illnesses are caused by viruses that spread more easily when children spend more time indoors and in close contact with others.

𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡 𝟐: 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫
Hydration is just as important in cold weather. Dry indoor air and illness can lead to dehydration, even when children don’t feel thirsty.

𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡 𝟑: 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐬 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐫
Fresh air and physical activity are important for immune health. Safe outdoor play, when weather permits, supports physical and mental well-being.

𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡 𝟒: 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬
Warm clothing helps maintain body temperature but does not protect against viruses. Good hygiene, nutrition, and vaccination remain essential.

𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡 𝟓: 𝐀 𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
Many winter colds are mild and self-limiting. However, persistent symptoms or high fever should be assessed by a pediatrician.

Evidence-based care, healthy routines, and professional guidance are the best ways to keep children well during winter.

Winter brings colder temperatures and increased indoor activities, which can make children more vulnerable to common seasonal illnesses. Understanding these conditions helps parents recognize early symptoms and seek timely care.

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐈𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧

• 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐝 & 𝐅𝐥𝐮 – Caused by viral infections, leading to runny nose, cough, fever, and fatigue.
• 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 – Conditions such as bronchitis or viral wheezing become more frequent in cold weather.
• 𝐄𝐚𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 – Often follow colds due to congestion and fluid buildup.
• 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 – More easily spread when children are indoors and in close contact.
• 𝐃𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐧 & 𝐄𝐜𝐳𝐞𝐦𝐚 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐞-𝐔𝐩𝐬 – Cold air and indoor heating can worsen skin dryness and irritation.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐈𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬
• Encourage regular handwashing and good hygiene habits
• Ensure children are dressed warmly and appropriately
• Support immunity with balanced nutrition and hydration
• Keep up with routine pediatric checkups and vaccinations

Winter travel can be exciting for children, but colder weather, crowded spaces, and disrupted routines can affect their health. A little preparation goes a long way in ensuring a safe and comfortable journey.

Start by 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐝-𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬. Dress children in warm, layered clothing and ensure their hands, feet, and head are well covered. Sudden temperature changes can stress young immune systems, so keeping them warm is essential.

𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐲𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐨. Airports, rest stops, and public transport expose children to germs. Encourage regular handwashing or use child-safe sanitizers, especially before meals and after touching shared surfaces.

𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. Travel can disrupt eating habits, so pack healthy snacks and ensure children drink enough fluids, as dehydration is common in cold weather.

𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩. Fatigue can lower immunity. Try to maintain regular sleep schedules and allow breaks during long journeys.
