Vaccines do more than protect your individual child - they help prevent the spread of disease to classmates, family members, and the community.

Immunizations reduce outbreaks, protect vulnerable populations, like newborns and the elderly, and keep children healthy so they can attend school and activities safely.

Stay up to date on your child’s vaccines. Call our office to schedule or review their immunization status today.

We hope your Halloween is everything “sweet” as candy! 🍬 Happy Halloween from everyone at Etowah Pediatrics!

10/30/2025

Trick-or-treating is exciting, but before the first bite, take a few minutes to check your child’s candy.

Discard anything that’s unwrapped, has torn packaging, or looks unusual. For little ones, avoid hard candies, gum, or other choking hazards. And if your child has a food allergy, read every label because sometimes treats can have different ingredients than the regular store-bought version.

What is your favorite candy to sneak from your kiddos Halloween bag?

Our providers’ favorite candies are sour patch kids, dark chocolate M&Ms, and Twix salted caramel!

It’s common for children to fall behind on vaccines due to illness, travel, or scheduling challenges.

Catching up ensures your child is protected against preventable diseases like measles, whooping cough, and flu. Our team reviews your child’s vaccine record and creates a safe, manageable plan to get them up to date.

Unsure if your child is due for vaccines? Call us to schedule a catch-up visit and keep their protection on track.

Safe sleep saves lives. Every nap and bedtime should follow these guidelines:

- Back to sleep: Always place your baby on their back.

- Bare crib: Use a firm mattress with a fitted sheet—no pillows, blankets, or stuffed animals.

- Room share, don’t bed share: Keep the baby in your room but in their own sleep space for at least 6 months, but the best practice is until 12 months.

- Avoid overheating: Dress baby in a sleep sack instead of loose blankets.

Provider tip: Dr. Lovato recommends checking the safe sleep approval on all products prior to purchasing. For example, weighted sleep sacks are not approved for safe sleep so should be avoided.

Have questions about your baby’s sleep setup? Bring a photo to your next visit so we can help make sure it’s safe.

Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 21, which can affect physical features, growth, and learning.

Early intervention makes a big difference for children with Down syndrome. Physical therapy, speech therapy, and developmental support can help babies meet milestones and build independence over time.

At our practice, we follow the AAP Bright Futures care guidelines for children with Down syndrome, using them to guide recommended labs, specialty referrals, and developmental screenings at each well-child visit. Regular check-ups allow us to track progress, celebrate achievements, and address challenges early.

If your child has Down syndrome and you’d like guidance on early support services, give us a call so we can help connect you with local resources.

Cow’s milk protein allergy occurs when a baby’s immune system reacts negatively to proteins in cow’s milk.

Symptoms can include vomiting, diarrhea, rash, or fussiness after feeding. Both breastfed and formula-fed babies can experience this allergy, so it’s important to monitor symptoms regardless of feeding method. While some babies outgrow it, others may need ongoing formula changes or breastfeeding modifications.

We follow evidence-based guidelines to identify symptoms, confirm diagnosis, and create a safe feeding plan for your baby.

If your baby shows signs of a possible allergy, send us a portal message to schedule an evaluation and discuss feeding options.
