One child is tall. Another is petite. One seems to grow overnight, while another takes a little longer.

That's why pediatricians don't look at one height or weight measurement in isolation.

At well-child visits, your child's growth is tracked over time. Looking at that pattern gives your pediatrician a better picture of how your child is growing and developing.

Growth is individual. What matters is understanding your child's own pattern and looking at it in the context of their overall health.

That's one reason routine well visits are important, even when your child feels perfectly healthy.

When your child needs liquid medicine, the measuring tool matters.

An ordinary kitchen spoon isn't designed to measure medication accurately. For liquid medicines, an oral syringe is generally the most accurate way to measure the dose, especially when the amount is less than 5 mL.

A few important reminders:

โ€ข Follow the dosing instructions for the specific medicine.
โ€ข Use the measuring device that comes with the medication or an appropriate oral syringe.
โ€ข Check the numbers and measurement units carefully.
โ€ข If you're unsure about the correct dose or measuring device, ask your child's pediatrician or pharmacist.

Small details matter when you're giving medicine to children.

Save this post as a reminder for the next time you need to measure liquid medication.

Screens are part of everyday life for most families. Instead of focusing only on how many minutes a child spends on a device, the American Academy of Pediatrics now encourages parents to look at the bigger picture.

Try the 5 C's:

๐Ÿ‘ง Child: How does your child respond to media?
๐Ÿ“ฑ Content: What are they watching, playing or scrolling through?
๐Ÿง˜ Calm: Are they using screens to manage emotions or fall asleep?
โฐ Crowding Out: What important activities might screens be replacing?
๐Ÿ’ฌ Communication: Are you talking with your child about their digital world?

A healthy media routine can look different from one child and family to another. The goal is to make sure technology fits into family life without crowding out sleep, play, school, relationships and other important parts of growing up.

If you're unsure what makes sense for your child, your pediatrician can help you work through it.

What are developmental milestones?

From infancy through early childhood, children develop skills in areas such as playing, learning, speaking, acting, and moving.

Developmental milestones give parents and healthcare providers a way to monitor how a child is progressing over time.

Children don't all develop at exactly the same pace. But if you have a concern about your child's development or notice they aren't reaching a milestone, it's worth bringing it up with their pediatrician.

Questions about development? Don't hesitate to ask.

What a child eats, how much they eat, and the foods they're willing to try can change throughout childhood and adolescence.

Offering a variety of nutritious foods, including fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and protein-rich foods, gives children opportunities to build a balanced eating pattern.

And if your child suddenly decides they don't like a food they used to enjoy? That's not unusual. Keep offering a variety of foods without turning every meal into a battle.

A routine checkup is about more than checking your child's height and weight.

Depending on your child's age, a pediatric visit may include a physical exam, monitoring growth and development, recommended screenings, immunizations, and guidance on topics related to your child's health and development.

It's also a chance for parents to ask questions and discuss any concerns.
