Toddlers develop speech at different rates, but some signs may indicate the need for evaluation.

By around 2 years old, children should be combining words into simple 2-word sentences, and by 3 years old, about 90% of what they say should be understandable to a stranger. Watch for limited vocabulary, not using gestures or sounds to communicate, or losing previously acquired words. Early identification and intervention can make a big difference in language development.

Our office can evaluate your child’s speech and provide an appropriate referral to a speech therapist or early intervention if needed.

This week is National Nurse Practitioner Week!

Nurse practitioners (NPs) are advanced practice providers who diagnose, treat, prescribe, and manage your child’s health needs. In pediatrics, NPs focus on everything from well visits and preventive care to managing acute and chronic conditions. Their training allows them to provide high-quality, family-centered care as part of your child’s healthcare team.

Let’s give our NPs some love this week.

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.

Antibiotics are not always needed, but when they are, make sure you give your child the entire course.

The research of antibiotics has allowed us to know how many days of the medicine is needed to completely get rid of the infection. If you stop the antibiotic too soon, your child’s infection may rebound or they may develop resistance to the antibiotic. Also, after completing the entire course of the antibiotic make sure you throw away any leftover medicine. A child should never be given leftover antibiotics or given antibiotics prescribed to someone else. Antibiotics given before a diagnosis is made can alter results of tests such as a throat swab or urine culture.

Have questions about your child’s antibiotic prescription?
