Did you know that about 1 in 5 high school students report using e-cigarettes or va**ng products?

Va**ng and ni****ne use are serious health concerns for teens. Many va**ng products are not regulated and can contain harmful chemicals, including heavy metals and toxic flavorings.

Open, honest conversations about the risks of ni****ne, addiction, and lung health are essential. Encourage your teen to ask questions, and provide resources for quitting if they’ve already started. Modeling healthy behaviors at home also reinforces these messages.

The providers at Shoreline Pediatrics can support your teen in quitting ni****ne, including the option for ni****ne replacement therapy when appropriate. Call today to schedule an appointment.

Do you know how many hours per day your toddler should be sleeping?
Toddlers typically need about 11–14 hours of sleep per 24 hours, including naps. Most children between 1 and 2 years take 1–2 naps per day, while 3-year-olds often transition to a single nap or may skip naps entirely.
Consistent sleep routines help toddlers feel secure and well-rested. Establish a regular bedtime, calming pre-sleep activities, and a predictable nighttime routine.

Keep your toddler in their own sleep environment to encourage independent sleep, and if transitioning from a crib to a big kid bed, offer comfort items, use positive reinforcement, and allow time to adjust gradually.

Limit screen time before bed, keep the room dark and quiet, and offer a favorite stuffed animal for comfort.

Consistency is key for better sleep and overall mood.

Well rested toddlers = happy parents.

Call our office if your toddler struggles with sleep. Our team can provide personalized strategies that work for your family in order to help your child rest better.

Toilet training is a big milestone, and readiness varies for each child.

Signs your toddler may be ready include: staying dry for 2+ hours, showing interest in the toilet, communicating the need to go, and demonstrating basic self-care skills like pulling pants up and down.

Remember, children potty train at different times, so give yourself grace and patience throughout the process. Pushing too early can lead to frustration for you and your toddler.

Wellness visits are a great time to chat with your provider about potty training. Do you have your next well visit scheduled? Call today.

Hanukkah, also called the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish holiday that celebrates the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

Families often celebrate by lighting the menorah each night, playing the dreidel game, giving small gifts, and enjoying traditional foods like latkes and sufganiyot.

We wish you a bright and joyful Hanukkah filled with love, light, and family traditions.

Combination vaccines protect against multiple diseases in a single shot, reducing the number of injections your child receives.

They are just as safe and effective as giving single vaccines separately. Using combination vaccines helps children stay up to date on recommended vaccines, while minimizing discomfort, office visits, and stress for both children and families.

Want to know what vaccines your child will be due for next?

Call one of our phone nurses today so they can review your child’s vaccine record with you.

Our phone nurse can also schedule your child’s next wellness visit.

If your child develops flu symptoms such as fever, cough, body aches, fatigue, or vomiting, keep them home from school and ensure they stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

Antiviral medications may be prescribed in certain cases.

Watch for warning signs such as difficulty breathing, persistent high fever, or dehydration, which require prompt medical attention.

Children can return to school when they have been fever-free for at least 24 hours without medication and symptoms are improving. If needed, you can request a school excuse note, which can be sent directly to the school or uploaded to the patient portal for convenience.

Provider tip: To help ease the cough, Dr. Hubbard recommends 1 teaspoon of honey by mouth every 4 hours. Remember, do not give honey if your child is less than 1 year of age.

Call our office for guidance on caring for your child, managing symptoms, or obtaining a school excuse.

Changes in routine like altered sleep schedules or meal times can increase stress and lead to crankiness or behavior changes.

Plan ahead by packing snacks, entertainment, and comfort items, maintain regular sleep routines as much as possible, and allow extra time for stops or delays. Bring along coloring books, puzzles, storybooks, or small travel games to keep kids engaged without screens during the trip.

Call our office or send us a portal message for advice on travel safety, motion sickness, or managing health needs while on the go.
