Milestones

Your Child's Growth & Development

Your child’s growth and development is as important to us as it is to you. As your child gets bigger and smarter, we’ll keep track of the progress.

0–5 Years

Babies and toddlers grow quickly! We know parents have lots of questions about what is 'normal' or outside the range of typical development. Our Developmental Milestones Chart lists signs to watch for at specific ages.

Grade School

As your child begins to interact with other children more, it's important to foster confidence and self-esteem. If you're concerned about shyness, temperament, or disobedience, please bring it to our attention — we're here to help.

Teen Years

The importance of self-esteem continues into adolescence. We can help you approach challenging or uncomfortable subjects and provide guidance on keeping your teen healthy, mentally and physically. Well visits keep your teen's health on track.

🌙 Baby Sleep Tips

  • Gentle Movement: Slight rocking and/or swaying can relax your baby.
  • Soft Sounds: Quiet singing, reading, nature sounds and shushing replicate womb sounds to soothe your baby to sleep.
  • Pitch Black Room: Keep your baby's room extremely dark. Even slight amounts of light can disrupt sleep quality and duration.
  • Sucking: Whether breast, bottle, finger, or pacifier, sucking can help your baby wind down for the night.
  • Consistency: Once you develop a routine that works — stick with it! Your baby will learn to respond to the repetitive pattern.

🍼 Baby Nutrition

As a general guideline, newborn babies usually feed every 2–4 hours. A healthy baby does not need supplemental water; formula can be made with sterilized water. Juice has no nutritional value during infancy — it can be used as an occasional treat (max 4 oz.) after ~6 months.

🤱 Breastfeeding

Breast milk usually comes in after 2–4 days. Babies usually nurse for 10–20 minutes on each breast.

🍶 Bottle-Feeding

Bottle-fed newborns usually drink 1–3 ounces every 2–4 hours.
