Affordacare Clinic Update: Well Baby Check-Up of Baby Alister 👶🏻🍼🩺

Today, we had the pleasure of seeing Baby Alister for his well-baby check-up! We were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of his adorable chuckles and see his cute dimples. 😊

During the check-up, we discussed his vaccination schedule. 💉
Currently, there is no supply of PCV (Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine) and Rotavirus vaccines at the health center. It is important to catch up on these vaccines as early as possible, especially the Rotavirus vaccine, which must be administered within a specific timeframe to avoid intussusception, a potential surgical complication. ❌🩻

We also advised Mommy to regularly observe Baby Alister's developmental milestones. For easy tracking, we highly recommend downloading the CDC Milestone Tracker app. It’s a great tool for ensuring your little ones are reaching their growth milestones on time! 🏀🪜👣

For parents and guardians, keeping track of your child’s vaccination schedule and developmental progress is crucial. Feel free to reach out to us for more information or to schedule an appointment!

The flu vaccine can be given to people of different ages, depending on the specific vaccine being used.

Generally, the flu vaccine is recommended for everyone aged 6 months and older, including pregnant women, as the vaccine can help protect against flu and its complications.

Some flu vaccines are specifically designed for certain age groups. For example, there are flu vaccines formulated specifically for children aged 6 months to 8 years, and there are high-dose flu vaccines that are recommended for adults over the age of 65.

It's always best to consult with a healthcare professional to determine which flu vaccine is most appropriate for you or your child.

Understanding Acute Dacryocystitis in Newborns: What Parents Should Know 🧑‍🧑‍🧒

Acute dacryocystitis is an infection of the tear duct that can occur in newborns, causing redness, swelling, and discomfort near the inner corner of the eye. It’s important to recognize the signs early, which can include:

- Redness and swelling near the tear duct
- Pus or discharge from the eye
- Excessive tearing or eye watering
- Fever (in some cases)

If you notice any of these symptoms in your baby, it’s essential to seek medical advice promptly. Early treatment can prevent complications and help your little one feel better quickly. Treatment typically involves IV antibiotics and warm compresses, but in some cases, further intervention may be necessary.

Always keep an eye on your newborn's eye health and consult your pediatrician if something doesn't seem right. Your baby’s well-being is worth every precaution!

There is consistent evidence that higher amounts of body fat are associated with increased risks of a number of cancers, and we don't know how the risk might change over time or with weight loss. bit.ly/2QgG0N7

Is your little one a picky eater? 🥦
You’re not alone! This is a typical phase many young eaters go through.

Children usually become picky eaters when they are toddlers (between the ages of 1 and 3).

・They aren’t growing as rapidly during this phase, which means their appetite slows down too.
・They’ll also develop food preferences, and as a result, may become picky about foods.
・Eating environment matters, too! Consistent meal times, eating together without distractions, and understanding the difference between picky eating and problem feeding are crucial.
