What is a pediatrician?
A pediatrician is a medical doctor specializing in the health care of infants, children, and adolescents, focusing on their physical, emotional, and social health from birth through young adulthood.
How often should my child see the pediatrician?
Regular well-child visits are crucial for monitoring growth and development. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends:
- Infants: Several visits during the first year (newborn, 1 month, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months).
- Toddlers: Visits at 12 months, 15 months, 18 months, 24 months, and 30 months.
- Children aged 3 and older: Annual check-ups.
These visits help ensure timely vaccinations and address any developmental concerns.
When should I start brushing my baby's teeth?
Begin cleaning your baby’s gums with a wet cloth before teeth emerge. Once the first tooth appears, typically between 6-10 months, start using a soft-bristled toothbrush with a smear of fluoride toothpaste. Introduce regular dental visits by the child’s first birthday.
Why is my child not waking up to feed during the night?
As infants grow, their sleep patterns evolve, leading to longer sleep stretches at night. If your baby is gaining weight appropriately and has no medical concerns, it's generally acceptable to let them sleep without nighttime feedings.
How much milk should my child be drinking?
Milk intake varies by age:
- Infants: Breastfeed on demand or provide formula as per pediatric guidance.
- Toddlers (1-2 years): 16-24 ounces of whole milk daily.
- Children over 2 years: 16-20 ounces of low-fat or skim milk daily.
Excessive milk consumption can reduce appetite for other essential nutrients.
Is it okay to need a break from my kids?
Yes, taking time for self-care is essential for effective parenting. Engage in activities you enjoy, seek support from friends or family, and consider respite care if needed. Balancing personal well-being benefits both you and your children.
Can I meet my pediatrician before my baby is born?
Yes, many pediatricians encourage prenatal visits. This meeting allows expectant parents to discuss newborn care, vaccination schedules, and any concerns, fostering a trusting relationship from the start.
