Teether check! This one is sneaky, so stay with us.

Silicone pull-string teething toys (usually a round disc with a ball in the middle and long, stretchy silicone strings pulled through it) have been recalled over and over in 2026 under different brand names on Amazon, including Yetonamr, AiTuiTui, Sili Factory, CuddleCubs Creations, GOPO Toys, and most recently a Chillife 5-in-1 Montessori Baby Toy Set (about 20,000 sets, model CHILLIFE01).

What's wrong: The strings are thinner and longer than the federal toy safety standard allows, so they can reach the back of a baby's throat and get stuck. The CPSC has reported dozens of choking incidents across these recalls.

Why it keeps happening: A recall applies to one brand and seller, not to the design. The same toy can reappear under a new name. Many of the recalled versions carry the same model number on the packaging: 688-59.

What to do:

- Look at the toy, not the brand. If it matches this design, take it away from your baby.
- Check the box for model 688-59 if you still have it.
- Follow your brand's recall steps. Most ask you to cut off the strings, write "DESTROYED" on the toy in permanent marker, and email a photo to the seller for a refund.
- Please don't donate, resell, or pass it down.
Search "teething toy" (not a brand name) at cpsc.gov/Recalls to check.

*Also recalled: about 2,000 HABA Rainbow Rattle Grasping and Teething Toys (batch code 0925) because the knot holding the beads together can come undone.

While you're doing a teething sweep: skip amber or other teething necklaces and bracelets (strangulation and choking risk), and skip numbing gels with benzocaine for babies and toddlers. A chilled (not frozen) solid teething ring and a clean finger rubbing the gums work beautifully.

New parents, this one's for you. Normal or Not? Newborn Edition

* Sneezing all day long → ✅ NORMAL Newborns sneeze to clear their noses. It doesn't mean they're catching a cold.

* Hiccups after every feed → ✅ NORMAL Many babies hiccupped in the womb, too. They usually don't bother baby at all, so no need to treat them.

* Eyes that cross or wander sometimes → ✅ NORMAL (early on) Eye muscles are still learning to team up. If the crossing is constant, or still happening around 4 months, mention it to us.

* Swollen breast buds in boys AND girls → ✅ NORMAL Blame mom's pregnancy hormones. Some babies even leak a tiny drop of milk. Please don't squeeze. It settles down on its own. Call us if the area gets red, hot, or tender.

* Big arm-flinging startles → ✅ NORMAL That's the Moro or "startle" reflex. It peaks in the first month and usually fades after about 2 months. It should look the same on both sides. If one side moves differently, let us know.

* Breathing fast, then slow, then a short pause → ✅ NORMAL It's called periodic breathing, and it's common in newborns. Long pauses, blue or gray lips, or working hard to breathe are not normal. Call 911.

* And the big one that is NOT normal: a fever of 100.4°F or higher in a baby under 3 months. Call us right away, day or night.

Which one surprised you most? Tell us in the comments!

10/21/2026

Here's what makes lead poisoning so sneaky: most kids with lead in their blood look and act completely healthy.

This week is International Lead Poisoning Prevention Week (October 18 to 24), with the U.S. National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week right behind it (October 25 to 31). So let's break it down.

Why it matters: There is no known safe blood lead level in children. Even low levels have been linked to problems with learning, attention, and school performance. Higher levels can cause stomach pain, headaches, and vomiting, and very high levels can be life threatening. Little kids are at highest risk because everything goes in their mouths and their growing bodies absorb lead easily.

Where lead hides
* Paint and dust in homes built before 1978, especially around old windows, porches, and anywhere paint is chipping
- Soil next to older homes
- Older pipes and plumbing fixtures
- Some imported candies, spices, and traditional home remedies
- Lead glazed pottery and food bowls, especially imported or older pieces
- Some toys and jewelry
- Work clothes and shoes from jobs or hobbies that involve lead

How we check: A blood test is the only way to know for sure. We ask about lead risk at well visits, and kids enrolled in Medicaid are required to be tested at 12 and 24 months (or between ages 2 and 6 if they've never been tested). If you're worried about your home or a product, ask us about testing.

Easy wins at home
- Wet mop floors and wipe windowsills regularly
- Wash hands before eating, and wash toys and pacifiers often
- Use cold tap water for drinking, cooking, and mixing formula
- Plant grass or add mulch over bare soil near older homes
- Renovating an older home? Use a lead-safe certified contractor and keep kids away until cleanup is done
- Serve iron and calcium rich foods. Kids with healthy diets absorb less lead.

Lead poisoning is preventable. A little awareness goes a long way.

10/20/2026

"It's just kids being kids." Sometimes, sure. But bullying is a different thing, and October (National Bullying Prevention Month) is a good time to learn the difference.

More than 19% of kids ages 12 to 18 say they've been bullied, and a lot of it now happens online. Bullying is usually repeated and about power, and it can be physical, verbal, social (leaving someone out, spreading rumors), or online.

Here's the hard part: many kids don't tell. They feel embarrassed or worry it'll get worse. So watch for the quiet signs:

- Headaches or stomachaches, especially on school mornings
- Suddenly hating or avoiding school, the bus, or activities they used to love
- Lost or destroyed phones, clothes, or books they can't explain
- Trouble sleeping or frequent nightmares
- A sudden drop in friends, or friendships that suddenly feel stressful
- Grades slipping or changes in eating

What actually helps:
- Listen first. Ask "Can you tell me more?" and "What was that like for you?" You're not fixing it yet, just hearing it.
- Practice Stop, Walk, Talk: say "stop" firmly, walk away calmly, tell a trusted adult. Role play it at home.
- Build their crew. Kids with solid friendships are less likely to be targeted, so clubs, teams, and playdates matter.
- If it keeps happening, loop in the school (teachers, counselors, coaches) and us.

And if your child is the one doing the bullying? Take a breath. It happens in good families. Set firm limits, model kindness, and get curious about what's going on underneath. We can help with that too.

Teach your kids that standing up for someone else, or getting an adult, is never tattling. It's courage.

If your child ever talks about hurting themselves, call or text 988 anytime.

TALKING WITH YOUR KID

Ask what they’ve heard first. Kids often pick up pieces from friends, the bus, or a phone screen. Start there and gently correct anything that’s wrong.

Keep it simple and honest. Preschoolers need a few calm words. Older kids and teens may want more detail. Either way, skip the graphic details and images.

Turn off the news around little ones. Seeing the same footage again and again can make it feel like it’s still happening, or happening nearby.

Reassure, without overpromising. Let them know that lots of grown-ups work hard every day to keep them safe, and that whatever they’re feeling is okay.

SAFE STORAGE AT HOME

This isn’t about whether families own guns. Many careful, loving families in our practice do. It’s about storage, the same way we talk about car seats and pool fences.

If there’s a fi***rm in your home:
- Store it unloaded
- Store it locked (a lock box, safe, or cable lock)
- Lock the am******on in a separate place
- Keep keys and codes where kids and teens can’t get to them. A hiding spot is not a lock. Kids find things.

Why this matters so much for teens: targeted attacks on K-12 schools use fi***rms most often taken from the attacker’s own home. Nearly all attackers show concerning behavior beforehand, and most will tell someone about their plans. So:

- Lock up fi***rms, even if your child “would never.”
- Take it seriously if your child mentions a friend talking about hurting people. Telling an adult is not snitching. It can save lives.
- Before playdates and sleepovers, ask: “Is there an unlocked gun in your home?” Most parents appreciate the question.

Secure storage also protects teens who may be struggling with their mental health. If you’re worried about your child, temporarily storing fi***rms outside the home is one of the most protective steps a family can take.

If anyone in your family is in crisis, call or text 988 anytime.

Baby gear check! Two items worth pulling from your nursery this week.

1. Wheeled baby walkers On September 17, the CPSC warned families to stop using Pvauert infant walkers (sold on Amazon, model CT02 on the seat label) and XIOYIG infant walkers (sold on Walmart.com, model A001). Both fail the federal safety standard: they can fit through a standard doorway and don't stop at the edge of a step. CPSC says it knows of six incidents with the Pvauert walkers, three involving head injuries. Neither seller has agreed to a recall, so CPSC's advice is to stop using them, throw them away, and not resell or donate them.

Here's the part most parents don't know: the AAP says baby walkers with wheels are never safe, even with an adult close by, and has called for a ban on their sale. They don't help babies learn to walk and may actually delay it. They're already banned in Canada. A stationary activity center (no wheels) gives the same fun without the stairs.

2. ONTHEWEI baby bath seats Recalled October 8. These bath seats, sold on Amazon in April 2026 in gray, pink, blue, and mist green (Model MY002 on the back label), can tip over during use and pose a drowning risk. Stop using them and contact ONTHEWEI for a full refund.

And the big one: a bath seat is a convenience, not a safety device. Babies can drown in just a few inches of water, quickly and silently. Stay within arm's reach for the entire bath, every time.

Not sure if something in your house is safe? Bring a photo to your next visit. We love a good gear question.

10/15/2026

October is ADHD Awareness Month, so let's clear up the myths we hear in clinic all the time.

❌ MYTH: "He can play video games for hours. It can't be ADHD." ✅ FACT: Many kids with ADHD can focus intensely on things that are fast paced, exciting, and rewarding. Video games are basically designed for that. The struggle shows up with tasks that are less stimulating, like a classroom lecture, homework, or waiting their turn.

❌ MYTH: "She isn't hyperactive, so it's not ADHD." ✅ FACT: ADHD doesn't always bounce off the walls. Some kids have the inattentive type: daydreamy, forgetful, losing things, drifting off mid task. These kids, often girls, can fly under the radar for years.

❌ MYTH: "He's just lazy." ✅ FACT: ADHD is a difference in how the brain develops and manages attention and impulses. Telling a child with ADHD to "just try harder" doesn't fix it any more than telling a nearsighted kid to "just see farther."

❌ MYTH: "They'll grow out of it." ✅ FACT: Hyperactivity often softens with age, but for many kids, symptoms continue into the teen and adult years. Early support builds skills that last.

❌ MYTH: "My preschooler is too young to have ADHD." ✅ FACT: The AAP's clinical guideline covers evaluation and treatment from age 4 through 18. For preschoolers, behavior-focused parent training is the first step.

A diagnosis isn't a label. It's a roadmap for how your child's brain works and what support helps them thrive. If something about focus, behavior, or school feels off, bring it to your next visit or give us a call. We evaluate and manage ADHD right here in our office.

You know to check the candy. Here are three Halloween hazards that don't get nearly enough airtime.

1. Costume contact lenses - Cat eyes, glowing eyes, solid white zombie eyes. They're everywhere online this time of year, and they are medical devices. The AAP and FDA both warn against decorative lenses without an eye exam and prescription, no matter what "one size fits all" claim is on the package. Poorly fitting lenses can cause eye infections, scratches on the cornea, and even permanent vision loss. If your teen wants the look, an eye care professional can fit them safely.

2. One candy to pull from the bowl - In September, the CPSC announced a recall of about 2.3 million Ricky Joy Sour Crush Rolling Liquid Candy bottles because the rollerball on top can detach and become a choking hazard. They were sold in blue raspberry, strawberry, green apple, and watermelon, with a green monster on the label. If you have them, take them away from kids and contact the company for a refund.

3. The scariest thing out there is traffic - Child pedestrian injuries are more likely on Halloween than on any other night of the year. Add reflective tape to costumes and bags, give every trick or treater a flashlight, choose face paint over masks that block vision, and keep an adult with younger kids. Teens heading out with friends? Review the route and a check in time before they go.

Bonus: if your house is handing out treats, a teal pumpkin on the porch tells families you have non food goodies for kids with food allergies. Halloween is one of the trickiest days of the year for them.

Have the best time out there. Then send us your costume pics, we want to see them!

10/13/2026

Did you really think we were going to give you the secret?

Here's the honest answer from your pediatrician (and lactation nerd): newborns are not supposed to sleep through the night. That baby waking you up at 2 AM is not broken, and neither are you.

- Newborns typically eat 8 to 12 times in 24 hours, which works out to about every 2 to 3 hours, day and night. Their tummies are tiny and breast milk digests quickly, so frequent waking is built in by design.

- If you're breastfeeding, night feeds pull extra weight. The hormones that drive milk production tend to run higher at night, so those 3 AM sessions help protect your supply.

- In the first couple of weeks, some sleepy newborns actually need to be woken to eat. If your baby is regularly sleeping longer than about 4 hours between feeds before they're back to birth weight, give us a call.

- Longer stretches do come. Many babies start stringing together a 5 hour stretch somewhere around 2 to 3 months, and the 8 hour stretch is more realistic after 6 months. Every baby has their own timeline, and "sleeping through the night" for a young baby usually means about 5 to 6 hours, not 12.

- Those night feeds can help protect your baby, too. The AAP says breast milk lowers the risk of SIDS, and the protection grows the longer your baby gets it. Pair it with safe sleep every single time, naps included: ✔️ Back to sleep, every sleep ✔️ Alone in their own crib or bassinet, on a firm, flat surface with just a fitted sheet. No pillows, bumpers, blankets, or stuffed animals. ✔️ Room share, don't bed share, for at least the first 6 months ✔️ Offer a pacifier at sleep time once breastfeeding is going well (it still counts if it falls out!) ✔️ No weighted sleep sacks or swaddles, and stop swaddling once baby shows signs of rolling ✔️ Keep the air smoke and v**e free, and skip the hat indoors so baby doesn't overheat

The 3 AM reality check: if you feel yourself nodding off mid feed, get off the couch or recliner. Those are among the riskiest places to fall asleep with a baby. If you feed in bed, move baby back to their own sleep space before you drift off.

So the real secret? Feed the baby, put them down safely, protect your own rest where you can, accept every offer of help, and know this phase is temporary. Our Rooted Beginnings lactation team is here for the hard nights too.
