Fevers can be scary for parents — especially in the middle of the night. The good news is that most fevers are a normal part of your child’s immune system doing its job.

The goal isn’t always to “bring the fever down,” but to keep your child comfortable with fluids, rest, and safe fever medication when needed. Knowing when to call your pediatrician can help ease anxiety and keep your child safe.

🚨 Remember: Babies younger than 3 months should be seen right away if they have a temperature of 100.4°F or higher.

If you ever have questions about fever care or medication dosing, our team is here to help.

Does your child have eczema and other allergy symptoms? They may be connected.

The allergic march (also called the atopic march) describes how allergic conditions like eczema, food allergies, hay fever, and asthma can develop over time — often starting in infancy.

Early identification and treatment can help manage symptoms and support healthy, active childhoods. If you’re noticing ongoing allergy concerns, your pediatrician can help guide next steps.

If your baby was born this spring or summer, RSV protection may still be important. 💛
RSV season typically runs through March, and infants under 8 months old are at the highest risk for serious illness.

RSV immunization is recommended for all infants under 8 months, and birth month helps guide the best timing. Your pediatrician can help determine when immunization will provide the most protection for your baby and your community.

Winter coats may keep kids warm — but they don’t belong under a car seat harness. ❄️
Bulky coats compress in a crash, creating extra space that can increase injury risk.

✔️ Remove thick coats before buckling
✔️ Dress in thin layers
✔️ Add blankets after securing the harness

Kids pay attention to the way we use our phones—sometimes more than we realize. If you’re trying to build healthier screen habits at home, the first step is modeling them yourself.

If you ever have questions about screen time or your child’s mental health, our pediatric team is here to help.

Smartphones can be helpful tools—but they can also crowd out sleep, exercise, and connection if boundaries aren’t in place. A recent study found that twelve-year-olds with smartphones were more likely to experience depression and poor sleep than peers without one.
If your child or teen already has a phone, don’t panic. Small changes—like nighttime downtime settings, limiting certain apps, and having honest conversations—can make a big difference.
