Picky eating is common in toddlers and usually part of normal development. Encouraging variety can take patience: offer new foods alongside familiar favorites, involve your child in meal prep, and model healthy eating yourself. Avoid pressure or punishment - positive exposure over time is more effective than forcing a bite.

We recommend offering only a tiny, bite-sized piece when introducing a new food - or if your child didn’t like it the last time. Toddlers are visual eaters, so if a food looks unfamiliar or intimidating, they’re less likely to try it.

Need strategies tailored to your picky eater? Call our office (203) 452-8322 for guidance and practical tips to make mealtime less stressful.

Dr. Odinak, be proud of the extraordinary work you have done, the person you are, and the lasting impact you have made. You will be deeply missed by all of us at PHA, and we wish you only health and happiness as you embark on this next chapter.

November is Prematurity Awareness Month, a time to recognize the unique journey of babies born too soon and the strength of their families. Life after the NICU can feel overwhelming, with many follow-up appointments, therapies, and ongoing care needs.

Every baby’s journey is different, and support looks different for each family.

Our office is here to help coordinate care for your premature baby, including referrals to early intervention, ophthalmology, and developmental specialists.

If your child was born prematurely, give us a call (203) 452-8322, so we can make sure your family has the right support in place for your baby’s growth and development.

We are accepting donations in all 4 of our office locations through 12/8/25.

Spit-up is common in babies, but reflux can sometimes cause more than just a laundry problem.

Babies with reflux may have frequent spit-ups, irritability after feeds, arching of the back, or trouble gaining weight. In toddlers, reflux can show up as chronic cough, chest discomfort, or difficulty eating.

If you’re concerned your baby’s spit-up is more than normal, give us a call (203) 452-8322 so our team can help determine if reflux is the cause and discuss ways to manage it.

Many insurance plans reset at the start of the year, which can affect coverage for preventive care.

Scheduling your child’s wellness visit before the year ends ensures they get recommended vaccines, screenings, and health guidance without missing benefits.

Call our office (203) 452-8322 today to schedule your child’s wellness visit before the insurance year resets.

November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month which is a time to raise understanding and support for children living with seizures.

A seizure happens when there is a sudden burst of abnormal electrical activity in the brain, which can cause changes in movement, behavior, awareness, or sensation.

If your child ever has a seizure, here are a few steps to keep them safe:

🔹 Stay calm and gently place them on their side.

🔹 Do not put anything in their mouth.

🔹 Move objects away to prevent injury.

🔹 Time the seizure. If it lasts longer than 5 minutes, call 911 immediately.

If your child has experienced a seizure or you’re concerned about unusual episodes, call our office (203) 452-8322.

Team PHA was out in the community this past Saturday at the Hartford Healthcare Amphitheater, proudly volunteering at the annual Thanksgiving Meal Assembly.

Together, we helped pack 1,250 meal bins for local families - and this year felt especially meaningful. With recent SNAP benefit disruptions impacting so many, it was even more important to show up for our neighbors in need.

We're truly grateful for the opportunity to give back and support our community.

College life can make good sleep hard to come by, with late-night studying, social activities, and noisy roommates often getting in the way.

Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night, use earplugs, or a white noise app to block distractions, and keep your sleeping area as dark and comfortable as possible. Limiting caffeine and screens before bed, sticking to a consistent routine, and fitting in regular exercise can also boost sleep quality.

If poor sleep is impacting your health, mood, or academic performance, call our office (203) 452-8322 for guidance and strategies tailored to life on campus.
