Be confident that you are treating your child’s pain or fever with the correct dose of medication. We can guide you here on how much acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin/Advil) to give, based on your child’s weight. (Benadryl too!)

Choosing sunscreen doesn’t have to be confusing!

Look for SPF 30 or higher, apply generously, and reapply every two hours, or sooner if swimming or sweating. Mineral sunscreens are often well tolerated for sensitive skin.

Remember to pair sunscreen with hats, shade, and protective clothing for the best coverage.

For infants younger than 6 months, consult with your provider prior to using any sunscreen products.

Questions about sunscreen or skin sensitivity? Give Arbor Pediatrics a call so we can help keep your child’s skin safe.

Spring is a great time to clean out your medicine cabinet.

Check expiration dates, safely discard old or unused medications, and keep all medicines locked and out of reach of children.

If you’re unsure how to safely dispose of medications, give our nurses a call and they can provide you with a list of local agencies that accept medication disposing.

Questions about your toddler’s nap schedule?

Many toddlers continue to need naps, but nap patterns can change quickly during this stage. Most children 1–3 years old still benefit from one nap per day, usually lasting 1–3 hours. As toddlers grow, naps may shorten or become inconsistent.

Signs a child may be getting ready to drop a nap include taking a long time to fall asleep at bedtime, fighting naps regularly, or very late afternoon naps interfering with nighttime sleep. Even when naps shorten or disappear, quiet rest time such as reading, puzzles, or calm play still helps toddlers reset and prevents over-tiredness.

If you have questions about your toddler’s nap schedule, reach out today to talk with one of our providers.

Did you know we can help with more than just your child’s physical health?

Our team is trained to also offer care for mental health concerns.

Mental health is part of overall health. Conversations about anxiety, mood changes, attention concerns, behavior challenges, or stress can start right here in the pediatric office.

We use validated screening tools, gather input from families and schools when needed, and help determine next steps. That may include counseling referrals, school accommodations, lifestyle strategies, or medication management when appropriate.
Early discussion often prevents concerns from becoming more disruptive over time.

Schedule a visit to talk through concerns about mood, anxiety, or behavior. Starting the conversation is the first step.

Vitamin D is essential for healthy bone growth and development.

Most breastfed babies need 400 IU of vitamin D per day, since breast milk alone doesn’t provide enough. This is usually given as daily vitamin D drops directly to the baby.

Another option some families choose is maternal supplementation when a breastfeeding parent takes a higher daily dose of vitamin D (often around 6,400 IU/day), enough vitamin D can pass through breast milk to meet the baby’s needs. This approach should only be done with guidance from your provider to ensure safety and proper dosing.

Because dosing matters, families should not start vitamin D supplements, either for baby or parent, without clear instructions from their care team.

Questions about vitamin D drops or maternal supplementation? Ask us at your newborn visit or call one of our phone nurses.

Packing for the hospital doesn’t need to be overwhelming. A few thoughtful items can make a big difference during labor, delivery, and recovery.

Here are five must-haves many parents find helpful:

1) Comfortable clothes for mom (nursing-friendly or loose-fitting)

2) Toiletries you actually like such as face wash, lip balm, hair ties, or dad’s favorite toilet paper

3) Phone chargers (long cord!) for staying connected and capturing moments

4) Comfort items like a favorite pillow or blanket for mom or dad

5) Snacks and drinks for partners during long hours

Every birth is different, so focus on comfort and flexibility rather than overpacking.

What was the one item you were so glad you packed or wish you had? Share in the comments to help other parents prepare.

“Couldn’t have asked for a better doctor.”

Dr. Asgaonkar is absolutely amazing. She is very caring, knowledgeable, and respectful. She really listens to you and happily answers any questions you may have. My husband and I are so happy we found her for our baby. Couldn’t have asked for a better doctor. Also, the office is SO CLEAN.
