Medical Weight Loss
Almost all babies will lose weight in the first week of life. Breast fed babies will be more likely to lose weight than bottle fed babies, because it takes a few days for breast milk production to begin. We like to watch babies very closely in the first 2 weeks of life for weight loss. Most babies will regain weight after the first week of life and are often back to birth weight by about 2 weeks. Initially babies may be slow to feed by both breast and/or bottle. Labor is work for babies too and they may be too tired for frequent feeding in the first few days. It can be tough to get babies on a schedule until they regain birth weight, so do not get frustrated if feeding is difficult in the beginning. However, some babies will be ready to feed frequently in the first few days and may feed every 2-3 hours. We usually recommend trying to feed babies at least every 3 hours during the day and at least every 3-4 hours at night until they are consistently gaining weight. Once back to birth weight, it is easier to feed babies on demand and feeding times may stretch out. Your doctor may recommend more frequent feedings if your baby has lost a significant amount of weight or is jaundiced. Breast feeding has many benefits for you and your baby. Doctors, nurses and lactation specialists can give lots of support to nursing mothers. Many families decide not to breast feed and that is fine. Each family should decide for themselves which is the best way to feed their child; breast, bottle or both.
Nutritional Counseling
North Shore Pediatrics offers nutritional counseling through Patricia Engel, M.S.R.D. Pat is a Dietician/Nutritional Consultant with many years of experience and offers after school and evening appointments here in our office for your convenience.
Pediatric Care
North Shore Pediatrics wants to keep you up to date with relevant information. Check back here to see updates regarding our office and for articles and news stories pertaining to your child’s health.
Primary Care
North Shore Pediatrics, PC participates with most insurance plans and we are always adding new plans that we accept. With the on-going name changes and mergers of insurance companies, it is more important than ever to make sure we accept your insurance. While we are always happy to answer any questions, we have listed below all of the insurance carriers we currently accept. It is your responsibility to insure that you have active health insurance and that one of our pediatricians is listed as your Primary Care Physician (for those plans that require you to have a PCP).
Emergency Care
Full term babies usually come home from the hospital 2 days after a vaginal delivery and 4 days after a Caesarian Section. It can be overwhelming once you have left the hospital and are home alone with your newborn or newborns. In our practice, we will usually schedule the first newborn check-up in our office 2 days after discharge, unless otherwise recommended by the discharging pediatrician at the hospital. We can see your child even sooner if needed. This will hopefully answer many of the questions that you may have in those first few days home from the hospital. We have a 24 hour telephone call service, which means that you can call anytime and either a nurse or doctor will call you back to answer your questions. Our office is open every day of the year. In addition to our normal business hours Monday through Friday, we have abbreviated hours on Saturday, Sunday and holidays for urgent care. We recommend calling early if you need to be seen on a weekend or holiday. In emergency situations, we advise calling 911. You may certainly call our office as well, but true emergencies should be directed to 911 for immediate care. It is important to remember that each baby is an individual and may not be exactly the same as their brother, sisters, cousins or friends. It is wonderful to get advice from friends and family, but do not be discouraged if your baby is not the same size as another, as good a sleeper or feeder as another.

Immunizations
Well-child examinations are essential for monitoring your child’s health, growth and development. We will perform a complete physical examination, and discuss any issues pertaining to your child’s nutritional needs, sleep patterns, school progress or other concerns. We will also administer the appropriate immunizations for your child’s age. These visits are a good time to ask any questions you may have regarding your child’s health.

Labor and Delivery
The birth of a baby often comes with a lot of emotions. These can include excitement, joy, fear and even sometimes sadness and depression. Many moms experience the “baby blues” after birth which can include mood swings, crying episodes and some anxiety. This is usually very manageable and resolves in a couple of weeks. However, some new moms may experience a more severe feeling of depression that does not improve. This is called postpartum depression. This can just be a complication of childbirth even for someone who has no history of depression and is no one’s fault. This does not mean you don’t love or want your baby. It is really important that you talk to a medical provider to get support which can include counseling and sometimes medication for a period of time. We want you to be able to enjoy this experience!

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a disorder that can be a challenge to diagnose as physicians must rely on second hand information from parents, teachers and relatives, who may all have different impressions about the severity and impact of the symptoms. Therefore it is often viewed as a very subjective diagnosis.
Depression
Mental Health
The pediatricians and nurse practitioners at North Shore Pediatrics are knowledgeable and committed to providing an appropriate level of mental health care to our patients who need it. We start with a consultation to determine symptoms and concerns. At this visit we typically will discuss if and how therapy can be beneficial and have recommendations for local quality therapists. A list of helpful counselors in the area can also be seen here.
Behavioral Health
At North Shore Pediatrics, we feel strongly that it is important to assist you in diagnosing and managing your child’s school and behavioral issues. This evaluation will start with a consultation with one of our providers. Depending on the concerns, the provider may complete the evaluation or refer your care for a more specialized service. Please talk to your child’s provider if you have concerns about your child’s behavioral health.
Anxiety

Orthopedics
Our providers have expertise regarding common overuse injuries, simple fractures and sprains that require basic splinting, to those injuries that require further workup or referral such as to physical therapy or orthopedics.
Wound Care

These include suture placement/removal, wart removal (freezing), ear lavage, umbilical cauterization, wound care, bladder catheterization, incision and drainage, nebulizer treatments, pulmonary function tests, peak flow meter tests, vision and hearing screening, vaccine/medication administration, lead screening, hemoglobin checks, PPD placement/assessment, nursemaid’s elbow reduction, splinting/bracing of appropriate injuries.

Skin Cancer
Using sunscreen is an important part of keeping your child safe and healthy in the summer months. The incidence of skin cancer is rising throughout the United States.
Dermatology
Acne Treatment
Eczema
Eczema, allergies and asthma can often be related. Children can certainly develop only one of these but often will have overlap with another. They are known as atopic diseases.
