At Columbus Pediatric Associates, our mission is to provide excellent medical care as we partner with parents in raising our future. From birth to 18 years, children change so much physically, emotionally, intellectually and socially. We understand children are not “small adults.” We value the importance of preventative medicine, as well as, providing quality care when illness does occur. We appre

ciate the trust our families put in us, and we are privileged to be a part of their children’s lives.

Preparing for a new baby can feel overwhelming, especially when baby registries and advertisements make it seem like you need everything. The good news is that newborns truly need less than many parents expect.

Some of the most-used baby items for many families include:
- A safe sleep space
- Zip-up sleepers or simple clothing (avoid buttons/snaps!! Trust us 😂)
- Burp cloths and bibs
- A reliable car seat
- A diaper and wipe station that is easy to access

There are also items families often find they can skip or wait to buy, such as wipe warmers, large amounts of newborn-size clothing, complicated gadgets, or multiple baby containers and swings before knowing what baby prefers.

Every baby and family is different, and you do not have to have the “perfect” setup to be a great parent.

What was the baby item you used the most or the one you never touched? Share below to help other new parents.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandfathers, stepdads, father figures, and caregivers who show up every day for their families.

Whether it’s helping with homework, coaching from the sidelines, fixing things around the house, or simply being present, the steady support you provide makes a lasting impact.

From all of us at Columbus Pediatric Associates, we wish a happy Father’s Day to the caregivers who make a difference every day.

Medication refill requests are safest and easiest to manage when families request them before the medication runs out.

Refills often require provider review, dosage verification, chart review, and communication with the pharmacy before they can be completed.
Some medications, especially controlled substances, may have additional policies, monitoring requirements, or refill timing restrictions that can affect processing time. Pharmacies may also need extra time to prepare medications or order items that are out of stock.

Keeping follow-up appointments is important because providers often need updated weights, blood pressure checks, medication monitoring, or symptom reviews before continuing prescriptions safely.

To help avoid missed doses or delays, contact us several days before your child’s medication is expected to run out. Our phone nurses are here to help.

Boating can be a fun way for families to enjoy time on the water, but safety should always come first.

Children and adults should wear properly fitted, Coast Guard–approved life jackets whenever they are on or near the water, especially while the boat is moving.

Close supervision is important around docks and open water, as slips and falls can happen quickly. Set clear rules for staying seated while the boat is in motion and avoiding rough play near edges.

Sun protection and hydration are also key. Use sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and take breaks to cool down and drink fluids, especially on hot days.

If you have questions about water safety, life jackets, or heat precautions for your child, contact Columbus Pediatric Associates before your next boating trip.

Around 15 months, many toddlers are becoming more active, curious, and interactive as they explore the world around them. While every child develops at their own pace, there are several common milestones families may notice during this stage.

Common 15-month milestones may include:

- Walking independently or beginning to walk more steadily
- Climbing onto furniture or exploring more actively
- Saying a few simple words
- Pointing to objects they want or recognize
- Following simple directions
- Showing affection, bringing toys to others, or imitating household activities

Toddlers continue to develop movement, communication, play, and social skills at different rates, and some skills may appear earlier or later than expected.

Well visits are a great time to discuss development, ask questions, and talk through any concerns with your provider at Columbus Pediatric Associates.

Ticks are common during warmer months, especially after playing in wooded areas, tall grass, or around bushes. If you find a tick attached to your child, use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick close to the skin and pull upward steadily without twisting. After removal, clean the area with soap and water.

Over the next several weeks, watch for symptoms such as fever, rash, fatigue, headache, or body aches. A spreading rash or illness after a tick bite should be evaluated.

Prevention is also important during outdoor play. Wearing long sleeves and pants, using insect repellent as directed, and checking children for ticks after outdoor activities can help reduce exposure.

If you have concerns after a tick bite or are unsure whether the tick was fully removed, call Columbus Pediatric Associates to schedule an appointment or discuss next steps.

Learning to drive is an exciting milestone, but safe driving habits are important from the very beginning.

A few simple reminders can help teens stay safer on the road.

1) Put phones away while driving. Even a quick glance at a text can be dangerous.

2) Wear a seatbelt every single trip, no matter how short the drive is.

3) Limit distractions in the car, including loud music, eating, or too many passengers.

4) Follow speed limits and adjust driving for weather, traffic, and road conditions.

5) If you ever feel unsafe, tired, distracted, or uncomfortable driving, call a parent or trusted adult for help.

Safe driving skills take practice, patience, and good decision-making over time.

What driving advice would you give a new teen driver? Share below.

Measles is a highly contagious viral illness that causes fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a characteristic rash that spreads across the body.
Before vaccines were widely available, measles was a very common childhood illness and could lead to serious complications such as pneumonia, brain inflammation, and even death.

Outbreaks affected large numbers of children each year.
With the introduction of the measles vaccine, cases dropped dramatically and many communities saw the disease nearly disappear. However, measles can still spread quickly in areas where vaccination rates are lower, as it is highly contagious.

Recently, there have been ongoing measles outbreaks across the United States, with over 1,700 cases reported in 2026 alone, many linked to unvaccinated populations.

Vaccination remains one of the most effective ways to protect children from severe illness and prevent outbreaks in the community.

If you are unsure whether your child is up to date on their vaccines, check your records or contact Columbus Pediatric Associates with any questions.
