We spoke with hundreds of parents about helping their children eat better and move more—and got a lot of great tips and ideas. We also heard a lot of myths about children’s eating and exercise habits. Answer these questions and bust a few myths!
Every child grows at their own pace, but regular check-ups help track development. Some key milestones include: Milestones by Age • By 2 months: Smiling and making eye contact • By 6 months: Sitting without support 🚶 By 12-15 months: Walking 🗣 By 2 years: Speaking in short sentences If you have concerns about growth, speech, or motor skills, schedule a visit to discuss developmental screenings with our team.
For children under 6 years old, avoid over-the-counter cough medicine. Instead, try: ✅ Cool-mist humidifier to keep air moist ✅ Saline drops and a bulb syringe for a stuffy nose ✅ Plenty of fluids to stay hydrated ✅ Honey (for kids over 1 year old) to soothe a sore throat
Not all infections need antibiotics! Most colds, flu, and viral illnesses will go away on their own. Antibiotics are only needed for bacterial infections like strep throat or certain ear infections. If your child has a persistent fever, worsening symptoms, or symptoms lasting more than 10 days, schedule a visit to determine if antibiotics are necessary.
A mild fever is a normal response to illness, but call us if: Your baby is under 3 months old and has a fever of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher. Your child’s fever is over 102°F (39°C) and lasts more than three days. They have trouble breathing, persistent vomiting, or signs of dehydration (no wet diapers, dry mouth, no tears when crying).
