January is National Bath Safety Month — the perfect time to make sure your home’s water heater is set to a safe temperature. Hot tap water can cause burns in seconds, especially for young children.

✔ What temperature should it be?
Set your water heater to 120°F (49°C) to help prevent scalds.

How to check your water heater setting:
• Look at your water heater’s temperature dial — many have a clear temperature marking or a “hot / warm” range.
• To double-check, run hot water from a faucet for one minute and use a kitchen thermometer to test the water temperature.

How to adjust it:
• Turn the temperature dial down to 120°F (or the “warm” setting if temperatures aren’t labeled).
• Give the heater a few hours to reset, then recheck the tap temperature.
• If your heater is older or unmarked, or you’re unsure how to adjust it safely, contact your maintenance team, landlord, or a licensed professional.

A quick check can make bath time much safer for little ones.

An umbilical granuloma is a small, pink growth of tissue that can form at the belly button after the umbilical cord falls off. It may produce a little discharge but is usually painless.

Most granulomas are treated easily in the office using safe methods like silver nitrate.

If you notice a growth, persistent moisture, or redness at your baby’s belly button, call our office for evaluation and treatment.

We offer same day sick appointments for your convenience.

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.

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.

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. A 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.

The holidays are a time for family and fun…but also for germs!

Encourage handwashing, covering coughs and sneezes, and staying home if anyone is sick to help prevent spreading illness.

If someone can’t attend in person, consider celebrating together virtually via video calls so everyone can join safely.
If your child develops symptoms during the holidays, call our office for guidance on care and testing.

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.

Children in grade school may start noticing early body changes such as growth spurts, changes in body shape, or the beginnings of puberty.

For girls, puberty typically starts between 8–13 years, often beginning with breast development, followed by p***c hair and a growth spurt. For boys, puberty usually starts between 9–14 years, often beginning with testicular enlargement, followed by p***c hair and a growth spurt.

These changes can start at different ages for each child.

Open conversations about their body, privacy, and healthy habits help children feel comfortable and confident.

Well visits are a great time for your provider to assess puberty changes and give guidance on what to expect and when. Call today to schedule an appointment.

Teens often experience headaches, stomachaches, and other common discomforts due to stress, growth, hormones, or diet.

Most minor complaints can be managed with rest, hydration, and over-the-counter remedies. Keeping a symptom diary that tracks frequency, triggers, and severity can help both families and providers identify patterns and guide treatment.

However, persistent, severe, or worsening symptoms, vomiting, dizziness, or unexplained weight loss require medical evaluation.

Call our office if your teen’s symptoms are concerning or impacting daily life. Same-day sick visits are available, and early evaluation helps prevent complications.

Your child’s pediatric provider plays a key role in coordinating care with specialists, including sending referrals, reviewing test results, and ensuring treatments are consistent.

This helps families avoid gaps in care and unnecessary appointments, while keeping all providers on the same page.

Important Fact: Some insurances require up to date wellness visits before a referral to a specialist can be initiated…another reason why staying up to date on wellness care is so important.

If you need help with care coordination or to schedule your child’s wellness visit, reach out to us today.
