Our mission is to provide excellent medical care as we partner with parents in raising our future. Our goal is to promote wellness - one child at a time.

At Columbus Pediatric Associates, our mission is to provide excellent medical care as we partner with parents in raising our future. From birth to 18 years, children change so much physically, emotionally, intellectually and socially. We understand children are not “small adults.” We value the importance of preventative medicine, as well as, providing quality care when illness does occur. We appreciate the trust our families put in us, and we are privileged to be a part of their children’s lives.

April is Autism Acceptance Month, a time to recognize and support individuals on the autism spectrum and promote understanding and inclusion in our communities.

Autism is a developmental condition that can affect communication, social interaction, and behavior, and every child’s strengths and challenges are unique.

Early support and services can make a meaningful difference for many children and families. Resources such as Autism Speaks and the Autism Society provide educational materials, support networks, and guidance for navigating therapies and services. Local early intervention programs and school-based services can also play an important role in supporting development.

If you have questions about developmental concerns or autism resources, speak with your child’s provider at Columbus Pedaitric Associates to learn about services and support available in your area.

Around six months, babies are becoming more active, curious, and expressive. You may notice new movements and sounds emerging as your baby continues to grow and explore.

Every baby develops at their own pace, but here are common milestones many parents see around this age:

What many 6-month-olds are doing:
- Rolling both directions (tummy to back and back to tummy)
- Reaching for and grasping objects, often bringing them to their mouth
- Sitting with support or briefly sitting independently
- Babbling with sounds like “ba,” “da,” or “ma”
- Responding to their name and enjoying social interaction
- Showing curiosity about people and surroundings

Remember, milestone timelines can vary, and development is not a race.

Your baby’s six-month visit is a great time to talk through milestones and any questions you have so bring your observations, and we’ll review them together. Need to schedule a wellness visit? Call our office today to schedule.

Spring is a great time to refresh more than just our homes. It’s also a chance to check in on mental and emotional well-being.

Clearing mental clutter can be as simple as setting realistic expectations, taking breaks from constant notifications, spending time outdoors, or having regular check-ins about stress with your kids and teens.

Small boundaries like device-free meals or consistent bedtime routines can help both parents and kids feel more grounded.

If stress, worry, or mood changes are lingering or starting to affect daily life, reach out to our office or message us through the portal. We are here to support you and your family.

Packing for the hospital doesn’t need to be overwhelming. A few thoughtful items can make a big difference during labor, delivery, and recovery.

Here are five must-haves many parents find helpful:

1) Comfortable clothes for mom (nursing-friendly or loose-fitting)

2) Toiletries you actually like such as face wash, lip balm, hair ties, or dad’s favorite toilet paper

3) Phone chargers (long cord!) for staying connected and capturing moments

4) Comfort items like a favorite pillow or blanket for mom or dad

5) Snacks and drinks for partners during long hours

Every birth is different, so focus on comfort and flexibility rather than overpacking.

What was the one item you were so glad you packed or wish you had? Share in the comments to help other parents prepare.

Is your toddler a picky eater?

Picky eating is very common in toddlers and often part of normal development. Many children need multiple exposures to a new food before they’re willing to try it.

Eating together as a family, offering the same meal for everyone (with at least one “safe” food), and letting your child decide whether and how much to eat can help build healthier habits over time.

Try to avoid pressure, bargaining, or forcing bites as these strategies often increase resistance rather than reduce it.

If you’re worried about your toddler’s growth, nutrition, or food variety, schedule a visit so we can review patterns and offer tips and tricks to help.

Spring is a great time to clean out your medicine cabinet.

Check expiration dates, safely discard old or unused medications, and keep all medicines locked and out of reach of children.

If you’re unsure how to safely dispose of medications, give our nurses a call and they can provide you with a list of local agencies that accept medication disposing.

Toddlers are still learning balance and coordination, so minor falls and bumps are very common, especially as they climb, run, and explore.

Most small tumbles are harmless and don’t require medical care.

However, call your provider or seek care if you notice red flags such as repeated vomiting, unusual sleepiness, confusion, behavior changes, loss of consciousness, severe headache, or difficulty walking.

Trust your instincts. Parents often know when something doesn’t feel right.

If you’re ever unsure after a fall, give our office a call. Remember we are available 24-7.

Before the Hib vaccine, Haemophilus influenzae type b was a leading cause of bacterial meningitis, pneumonia, and life-threatening infections in young children.

Thousands of kids were hospitalized each year, and many were left with permanent complications such as hearing loss or brain injury.

Vaccination dramatically changed that story making Hib disease rare in countries with strong immunization programs.

Keeping children up to date on routine vaccines helps protect them and prevents these serious infections from returning.

Spring is the perfect time to get outside together.

Simple activities like family walks, park play, bike rides, or a nature scavenger hunt help kids move their bodies, support better sleep, and strengthen family connection. Even short bursts of outdoor time can boost mood and reduce stress for kids and adults alike.

Dr. Yeiser’s favorite spring time activity to do with her family is going on nature walks and seeing all the new flowers and plants bloom…and her favorite season is Spring!

Vitamin D is essential for healthy bone growth and development.

Most breastfed babies need 400 IU of vitamin D per day, since breast milk alone doesn’t provide enough. This is usually given as daily vitamin D drops directly to the baby.

Another option some families choose is maternal supplementation when a breastfeeding parent takes a higher daily dose of vitamin D (often around 6,400 IU/day), enough vitamin D can pass through breast milk to meet the baby’s needs. This approach should only be done with guidance from your provider to ensure safety and proper dosing.

Because dosing matters, families should not start vitamin D supplements, either for baby or parent, without clear instructions from their care team.

Questions about vitamin D drops or maternal supplementation? Ask us at your newborn visit or or call one of our phone nurses.

Tinea corporis, commonly called ringworm, is a common fungal skin infection, not a worm.

It often appears as a round or ring-shaped rash with a raised, scaly edge and clearer skin in the center. It can be itchy and may spread through close contact, shared towels, clothing, or sports equipment.

Many cases improve with antifungal creams, but some rashes need prescription treatment or further evaluation especially if they’re spreading, not improving, or located on the scalp or face.

Not sure if a rash could be a ringworm? Call our office or send us a message through the portal so we can guide you on treatment and next steps.

Is it a cold or allergies? The symptoms can look similar.

It can be hard to tell the difference between a cold and allergies especially in kids.

A few key clues can help:

1) Colds often come with fever, body aches, sore throat, and symptoms that worsen over a few days and then improve within 7–10 days.

2) Allergies usually cause itchy eyes, sneezing, clear runny nose, and symptoms that linger or return with seasonal triggers without fever.

If symptoms last longer than expected, interfere with sleep or school, or keep coming back, it’s time to check in. Avoid starting new allergy or cold medicines without guidance, as some treatments aren’t appropriate for all ages or conditions.

Not sure which one your child is dealing with? Give our office a call or send a message through the portal. We're here to help you decide next steps.
