Did You Know?

There are some health related issues that are very important concerning the well-being of your child and should not be ignored. 

You must call you doctor if:

Your child is especially sluggish or irritable

Your child has serious problems sleeping

He is refusing all foods or drinks

He is suffering from vomiting or diarrhea

He has a high temperature

You suspect that there may be some developmental delays. Although these delays may or may not necessarily mean there is something wrong with your child, it should be brought to your doctor's attention; whether it is related to walking, speaking or feeding.

If by the age of 2 your toddler:

Cannot put 2 words together to form a sentence

Follow simple directions

Imitate actions

Push and pull a toy

Don't hesitate to call your child's doctor with your concerns or if you suspect any illness, no matter how small they may seem. Illness requires immediate attention, especially at an early age.
