Williams-Willingham, InTouch Pediatrics was created to feel like an extension of your family. We deliver exceptional pediatric care with compassion, attentiveness, and a personal touch that respects the individuality of every child.

🚨 The FLU (INFLUENZA) IS SURGING 🚨

We’re seeing a significant increase in Influenza A at InTouch Pediatrics.

Flu symptoms can include fever, cough, congestion, sore throat, body aches, vomiting/diarrhea, and extreme fatigue. For many kids, it’s a rough 7–10 days — but for some, complications like asthma flares, dehydration, or pneumonia can follow.

👉 Call us if symptoms worsen or return after improving.
🚩 Go to the ER for breathing trouble, severe lethargy, or severe dehydration.

We’re here to help keep your child safe and supported this flu season.

Those first few weeks with a newborn?
Amazing… and also “Why did no one tell me THIS part?” 😅

That’s why newborn parent visits matter.

Here’s what we cover (so you can breathe again):

🍼 Feeding questions
Breastfeeding, formula, pumping, cluster feeding — bring it all.

😴 Sleep (or the lack of it)
Safe sleep setups, daytime vs nighttime confusion, and what’s normal.

💩 Diapers + digestion
Colors, textures, frequencies… we know you’re Googling it at 1AM.

🌡️ What’s normal + when to call
Fever rules, congestion tips, tummy issues, and signs to watch for.

🤱 Parental reassurance
Because you’re doing better than you think — promise.

New parents deserve real answers, not overwhelm.

👉 Schedule your newborn or new-parent visit anytime — we’re here to support every “Is this normal?” moment.

Shorter days, colder weather, fewer playdates…
Yeah, winter can hit kids harder than we think.

Here’s what to keep an eye on:

🧊 Mood dips
More irritability, crying spells, or “I don’t feel like it.”

😴 Changes in sleep
Too much sleep, not enough sleep, or restless nights.

🍽️ Appetite shifts
Eating way more or way less than usual.

📉 School stress
Grades, social pressure, and the mid-year slump can pile up.

🚩 Red flags that need a check-in:
• Withdrawal from friends or favorite activities
• Big, noticeable behavior changes
• Trouble concentrating
• Comments about not wanting to be here (always take seriously)

You’re not overreacting — kids go through real emotional shifts during the winter months.

👉 If something feels “off,” trust your parent gut. We’re here to help.
Call the office or schedule through the patient portal.

No, they’re not secretly training for a hotdog-eating competition.

Winter = more hunger for a few legit reasons:

🔥 More energy burned staying warm
Their little bodies are like space heaters… with expensive tastes.

📏 Growth spurts don’t take holidays
Bones + muscles are out here leveling up.

😴 Less sunlight = hungrier brains
Changes in sleep + mood can trigger more cravings.

💡 Smart snack swaps kids will actually eat:
• Apple slices + nut butter
• Greek yogurt + berries
• Hard-boiled eggs
• Popcorn (not dripping in butter)
• Veggie sticks + hummus
• Cheese stick + whole-grain crackers

👉 If hunger goes wild while weight changes, sleep tanks, or mood shifts — book a visit. Kids should feel good and well-fueled this winter. ❄️💪

Parents: sees green snot → “Welp… antibiotics.” 😬 Not so fast.

Here’s what those nose colors are actually trying to tell you:

Clear:
Totally normal with colds, allergies, or teething.
(Yes, teething turns babies into tiny fountains.)

White:
Congestion party. Mucus thickens when the nose is swollen.
Usually early cold stages.

Yellow:
Immune system doing its thing.
White blood cells clocking out after beating germs.
👏 Go little immune system, go.

Green:
More white blood cells = color changes.
Still doesn’t always mean infection or antibiotics. 👀
If it lasts >10 days? Give us a call.

Brown:
Dust, dirt… or ahem old dried snot.
Kids are wild.

Red / Pink:
A little blood from irritation or dryness is common.
Humidifier = your winter bestie.

🌡️ When to call or schedule a visit
• Fever >3 days
• Breathing looks hard
• Not drinking well
• Snot party going longer than 10–14 days
• Parent gut says “nope, something is wrong”

Most winter sniffles = support + watch
Not antibiotics 🚫💊

We’re here for the boogers, the sniffles, and everything in between. 🤍

Cold air is basically the villain in your child’s asthma story. 🎭
It tightens airways and makes breathing way harder — especially during winter playtime.

Here’s how to help lungs stay chill when the weather isn’t:

1️⃣ Use a spacer with inhalers — always
It gets more medicine into the lungs instead of decorating the throat.
(Not optional. Science said so. 🧪)

2️⃣ Cover the mouth + nose outdoors
A cozy mask or scarf warms incoming air = less airway irritation.
Function + fashion = win ❄️🧣

3️⃣ Warm up before playing in the cold
Little jog or jumping jacks gets lungs “ready” — yes, like tiny athletes.

4️⃣ Keep rescue meds nearby
Because wheezing waits for no parent.

Signs to step back inside
• Persistent cough
• Fast breathing
• Chest tightness or “I can’t breathe” moments
• Blue/gray lips (🚨 go in NOW — seek help)

Asthma doesn’t get a holiday break — but with the right support, kids still get to live their best playground life.

📲 Need an asthma plan update or spacer technique check? We’ve got you.

The Holiday Blues Are Real — And You’re Not Doing Anything Wrong 💛

The start of the holiday season isn’t magical for everyone.
For some kids (and parents), it can bring:

• Big emotions
• Disrupted routines
• Overtired meltdowns
• Increased anxiety
• Mood swings
• Overstimulation overload

Between school changes, travel, family dynamics, sugar explosions, and overstretched schedules, even the happiest kids can feel a little off.

And parents? You’re juggling joy, stress, expectations, and about 47 unanswered emails. We see you.

This isn’t weakness.
It’s the nervous system asking for a little grace.

✨ Simple ways to support your child during the holiday shift:

Keep bedtime and routines as consistent as possible

Build in quiet time (yes, even during busy weeks)

Offer reassurance and predictability

Limit overscheduling

Normalize feelings — not every moment has to be merry

At InTouch Pediatrics, we believe mental and emotional wellness matter just as much as physical health — especially during big seasonal transitions.

If your child seems more withdrawn, irritable, or overwhelmed, you’re not alone — and support is always available.

Holidays don’t have to be perfect to be meaningful.
Peace > pressure.
