Pediatrics
Pediatric physicians have the training and knowledge to treat your children whether they have the sniffles, need immunizations or have more serious conditions. The physicians know that going to the doctor may sometimes be scary to a child. They'll work to put your child at ease and will communicate with you every step of the way.

American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations:
- Stay close to the baby by sharing a room, but not sharing a bed.
- Baby should sleep separately in a crib, pack-and-play or other safety-approved sleeping devices.
- Remove toys, blankets, pillows and bumper pads from the crib.
- Keep baby warm with a sleep sack or footed pajamas instead of swaddling with blankets.
- Your baby should sleep on their back until they are strong enough to roll over on their own.
- Use a tight-fitted sheet in a pack-and-play and on a firm mattress in a crib.
- Baby should not sleep with you or anyone else on a bed, couch or in a chair.
- Car seats and infant carriers are not recommended for routine sleep.
