🌷 Spring will be here before we know it…

If your child struggles with seasonal allergies, February 14 is actually a great time to start allergy medications.

Why?
✔️ Many allergy meds work best before symptoms explode
✔️ Starting early can mean fewer flare-ups later
✔️ Prevention > playing catch-up in peak pollen season

If you’re unsure what’s right for your child, we’re here to help you plan ahead.

🌸 Seasonal Allergies + Asthma + Eczema: What Parents Should Know 🌿

Spring allergies don’t just cause sneezing — they can trigger asthma and eczema flares, too.

Quick tips:
• Watch pollen + air quality
• Stick to your child’s asthma action plan
• Stick to your child's eczema action plan
• Consider allergy testing if symptoms linger
• Limit exposure during high-pollen days
• Monitor symptoms and adjust care as needed

With the right plan, kids can enjoy spring without constant flare-ups.

Your child holds it together ALL day…
Then comes home and 💥 loses it.

That’s not bad behavior.
That’s nervous system overload.

Common reasons:
• Sensory fatigue
• Hunger or low blood sugar
• Mental exhaustion
• Holding in emotions all day

💡 What helps:
✔️ Snack + water first
✔️ Quiet decompression time
✔️ Fewer questions right away
✔️ Predictable routines

At InTouch Pediatrics, we look at behavior through a developmental + emotional lens, not just discipline.

Some infections during pregnancy don’t cause obvious symptoms—but they can affect a baby’s development. The good news? Many risks can be reduced with awareness and early care.

Helpful tips for expecting moms:
• Keep all prenatal appointments and recommended screenings
• Ask your provider about infections that can affect pregnancy
• Practice good hand hygiene and food safety
• Make sure newborn follow-up care is in place after delivery

💡 Being informed is one of the most powerful ways to protect your baby—before and after birth.

📍 At InTouch Pediatrics, we partner with families early to support healthy pregnancies and strong starts for babies.

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, it’s important to remind teens of this truth: Everyone deserves a safe, respectful, and healthy relationship.

We encourage schools, youth groups, and families to speak up, share resources, and start conversations that matter. Awareness saves lives—and silence helps no one.

📣 If you or someone you know has questions about a relationship—healthy or unhealthy—support is available.
Visit loveisrespect.org or text LOVEIS to 22522 for confidential help.

💬 Together, we can raise a generation that knows love ≠ control, fear, or harm.

Tiny teeth = big job 🦷
Dental health isn’t just about cavities—it affects speech, nutrition, sleep, and confidence.

Parent reminders that don’t get said enough:
• Start brushing as soon as teeth appear
• Cavities in baby teeth can affect adult teeth later
• Dental pain can show up as behavior changes in kids

✨ Healthy smiles support healthy growth—and we love partnering with families to keep kids thriving from head to toe.

👀 The AAP just dropped guidance saying limiting screen time alone isn’t cutting it for kids’ mental & emotional health — we need broader approaches.

Screen time limits are important, but pediatric experts say they shouldn’t be the only tool. Healthy childhood development also needs meaningful parental engagement, safe offline activities, and smart boundaries — especially with social media. It’s about quality, not just minutes monitored.

🌱 Parent tip: Instead of “no screen,” try intentional tech time + open chats about what kids are seeing online, and talking about what doom scrolling or too much time on the internet does to your mental health.

Flu season isn’t over yet — and kiddos are still at higher risk. Most pediatric flu deaths this season happened in un/under-vaccinated kids. If your child hasn’t gotten their flu shot yet, now’s the time. It still helps lower serious complications and keeps school interruptions to a minimum.”

You may have seen headlines about the CDC updating the childhood immunization schedule — and yes, it’s true.

The CDC recently changed how some vaccines are universally recommended, shifting a few (like flu, RSV, and hepatitis) toward individual risk and shared decision-making with your pediatrician.

But here’s the part that often gets missed 👇

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) — the organization that represents pediatricians nationwide — continues to recommend a broader, science-based vaccine schedule to protect children from 18 preventable diseases, based on decades of research and real-world outcomes.

So what does this mean for you as a parent?

It means:
• Vaccines are still available
• Nothing is being “taken away”
• And more than ever, care is becoming personalized, not one-size-fits-all

This isn’t about forcing or avoiding vaccines.
It’s about informed decisions, real conversations, and choosing what’s best for your child’s health.

At InTouch Pediatrics, we believe in:
🤝 Listening to parents
📚 Using evidence-based medicine
🧠 And partnering with families — not pressuring them

If you have questions, concerns, or just feel confused by the headlines (totally valid), let’s talk. Your pediatrician’s role isn’t to judge — it’s to guide.

Because the goal isn’t compliance.
The goal is healthy, thriving kids. Always. 💚
