🎉 Tip Tuesday: Kid-Friendly New Year’s Countdown
You don’t have to make it to midnight to celebrate the New Year — especially with little ones!
✨ Try an early countdown:
• Do a “fake” New Year’s countdown at 7 or 8 PM
• Use a prerecorded ball drop or countdown video
• Celebrate with cheers, noise makers, or a special treat
⏰ Why parents love it:
Kids still feel included in the fun, and bedtime routines stay mostly intact. Everyone rings in the New Year happy — and well-rested.
Here’s to a fun, safe, and sleep-friendly start to the New Year! 🥳💤

🎄 Tip Tuesday: Holiday Toy Safety Edition 🧸
With new toys, gift wrap, and packaging everywhere this week, it’s important to keep little ones safe during the holiday excitement.
✨ Watch for choking hazards, especially for babies and toddlers:
🔵Small toy parts, buttons, batteries (including button batteries), and beads
🔵Plastic wrap, bows, ribbon, and tape
🔵Packaging materials like plastic ties or foam pieces
👶 A good rule of thumb: if it fits through a toilet paper roll, it’s a choking risk.
Before playtime begins, take a few minutes to unwrap, inspect toys, and remove packaging—your child’s safety is worth it.
Wishing all our families a safe, happy, and healthy holiday week! 💚

🩺✨ Tip Tuesday: When to Keep Your Kiddo Home ✨🩺
Cold and flu season is here in Central Ohio, and we know it can be tough deciding if your child is well enough for school or daycare. Here are a few quick guidelines to help:
🤒 Fever:
If your child has a temp of 100.4°F or higher, keep them home. They must be fever-free for 24 hours without medicine before returning.
🤢 Vomiting or Diarrhea:
Home is the place to be until they've had 24 hours with no symptoms and can drink/eat normally again.
🦠 Contagious Illnesses:
Strep, pink eye, flu, RSV, hand-foot-mouth, or any contagious rash? Keep them home until cleared or after 24 hours of antibiotics when applicable.
😴 Not Acting Like Themselves:
If they’re too tired, fussy, or just not able to participate, a rest day is best—even without a fever.
💨 Persistent Cough:
If coughing fits are disrupting play or breathing seems harder than usual, keep them home and monitor or call us.
Keeping sick kiddos home helps protect classmates, teachers, and your family too. ❤️
As always, if you’re unsure, give us a call—we’re here to help!

At Olentangy Pediatrics, our team follows the latest evidence-based guidelines—and we strongly recommend the Hepatitis B vaccine for every newborn, even perfectly healthy babies.

Hepatitis B isn’t only transmitted sexually. It can spread through microscopic amounts of blood or bodily fluids, and many adults carrying the virus don’t realize they’re infected. That means a baby can be exposed in ways that are accidental, unpredictable, and completely outside a parent’s control.

Giving the first dose at birth is the safest, most effective way to protect your child from a serious liver infection that can become lifelong. Waiting leaves newborns vulnerable during a time when their immune systems are at their weakest.

The Hepatitis B vaccine has been thoroughly researched, carefully monitored, and safely given to millions of infants. Our pediatricians confidently stand behind it as a critical first step in keeping your baby healthy from day one.

Swipe → to see common myths about Hepatitis B—and the facts that bust them.
If you have questions, we’re always here to walk through them with you. Your child’s safety and your peace of mind come first.

✨ Stay Visible: Opt for bright colors or reflective outer layers when walking or playing outdoors.
🚗 Prep the Car: Keep extra blankets, hats, gloves, and winter essentials on hand for unexpected delays.
