Newborn Care is essential in helping address and resolve feeding issues, whether you are Breastfeeding, Formula feeding, or using a Combination of both. During newborn care visits, your pediatrician will assess your baby's feeding habits, weight gain, and overall health to ensure they are receiving adequate nutrition. If you are breastfeeding, your pediatrician can offer advice on proper latch techniques, frequency of feeds, and how to recognize if your baby is getting enough milk. They can also identify and address common breastfeeding challenges, such as nipple pain, engorgement, or low milk supply, and may refer you to a lactation consultant for additional support.

For babies who are formula-fed, the Pediatrician can provide guidance on the appropriate type and amount of formula, as well as feeding schedules. They can also help manage issues like spit-up, gas, or reflux, which can sometimes interfere with feeding. If your baby is experiencing feeding difficulties, such as not gaining weight or refusing feeds, the pediatrician will work with you to identify the underlying cause and develop a plan to ensure your baby is thriving.

ADHD screening should be considered when a child consistently exhibits behaviors such as Inattention, Hyperactivity, or Impulsivity that are more pronounced than typical for their age and developmental stage. These behaviors should persist for at least six months and interfere with the child's daily activities, including their ability to learn, interact socially, or follow instructions. Screening is often recommended when parents or teachers observe difficulties that do not improve with basic behavioral strategies or support. While symptoms may become noticeable as early as preschool, screening is commonly initiated when children start formal schooling, where structured routines highlight challenges with focus and self-regulation.

Parents should also consider ADHD Screening if they notice their child struggling in multiple settings, such as at Home, School, or during extracurricular activities. Additionally, if teachers or caregivers express concerns about the child's ability to stay organized, complete tasks, or control impulsive actions, it may warrant further investigation. Early screening can help identify potential issues before they escalate, ensuring the child receives timely support and accommodations to succeed academically and socially. Identifying concerns early through screening is essential to providing children with the tools they need to thrive.
