Jet lag is the experience of fatigue, sleep difficulties, and feeling “out of it” that is associated with traveling to another time zone.

Research finds that jet lag seems to increase with age, suggesting that it may be easier for your children to adjust than it is for you as an adult (although research hasn’t directly compared adults versus children). Jet lag also seems to be worse when traveling to the east rather than traveling west.

The research on jet lag is limited and mostly involves adults but research does provide some suggestions to help:

1️⃣ Get a lot of sunlight exposure during daytime hours: Research finds that exposure to natural light may be the best way to reset your circadian rhythm.

2️⃣ Avoid artificial light and blue light in the evenings: Make sure you stay in low light and avoid light from electronics in the evening hours. Blue light from electronics may suppress your own production of melatonin in the evening

3️⃣ Ask your pediatrician about melatonin: Research in adults finds that melatonin is effective for treating jet lag with a recommended dose of 2 to 5 mg for up to 4 days after travel. However, this research is in adults and we do not know the appropriate dosing for children.

4️⃣ Remember that everyone responds to jet lag differently: Research finds that different people respond very differently to jet lag even in a controlled lab situation.

5️⃣ Expect some tummy issues and changes in appetite with jet lag: Children (and adults) may experience stomach pain, indigestion, constipation, and loss of appetite with jet lag.

🦸 Favorite Superhero?
"That's a tough one because I'm a big nerd and tend to like antiheroes such as Magneto and the Winter Soldier. But if I had to pick a true superhero, it would be Spider-Man because of his amazing powers, intellect, and the motto he lives by: 'With great power comes great responsibility.'"

👑 Favorite Disney Princess?
"It's a three-way tie between Mulan, Tiana, and Moana!"

Before you head outside this summer, don't forget the sunscreen.
A few things to look for when choosing the right one for your child:
✅ Broad-spectrum SPF 15–50
✅ UVA/UVB protection
✅ Zinc oxide or titanium dioxide for sensitive skin areas
✅ Avoid oxybenzone when possible, especially for younger children
Apply generously 15 minutes before going outside and reapply every two hours. Apply more often if your child is swimming or sweating. Don't forget ears, the back of the neck, and the tops of feet.
For babies under 6 months, the best sunscreen is shade and protective clothing. Ask us at your next visit if you have questions about what's right for your little one.

Research provides some limited evidence that white noise may help with falling asleep and blocking out noises but it is unclear if it really improves sleep quality or total sleep time. However, there is no evidence that white noise is necessary to help babies or children to sleep or that it will solve all sleeping problems. There is also no evidence that white noise causes any harm when played at a reasonable volume.

Parents play a key role in their children’s eating habits. Fathers can positively influence their children’s eating habits starting when they eat solid food.

Did you know? Research has shown that parents who have frequent family meals together with their children are less likely to engage in unhealthy eating habits. This includes eating fast food (for fathers) or binge eating (for mothers).

The positive aspects of family meals can serve as protective factors against obesity and are linked with healthier weights for children, adolescents, and fathers.

About 96 percent of medication-related poisoning visits to emergency rooms are the result of children ingesting medications while unsupervised, and approximately 5 percent are the result of caregiver dosing errors. The key to preventing medication poisoning is to read the label before using the medication. Here is what you should know about the labels.
