4 months Nutrition Breast milk and/or iron-fortified formula are still your baby's main food sources. Most babies nurse 4-6 times a day or take 20-36 ounces of formula. Solid foods (if desired) supplement, but do not replace, milk. Babies often give clues as to their need to start solids (see our handout on "Starting Solids"). Your baby should be able to sit with support and keep her head steady enough to be able to spoon feed. Solid foods should not be started arbitrarily based on weight or age. Wellness Visits Finally, the majority of babies are sleeping 8-12 hours at night, and taking 2-3 naps. It is recommended to always place infants on their backs for sleeping. Putting your baby in her crib for all naps and bedtimes will help her learn the skill of falling asleep alone. This makes it easier for her to do this in the middle of the night should she start waking. Sleep Starting solids will affect the color, consistency, odor, and frequency of stools. Breast-fed infants often have thicker less-frequent stools. Elimination Car seat: Make sure your baby's car seat still fits her appropriately (babies often need to advance to the next car seat size when they reach 20 pounds) and is in good shape. For the best protection, keep your infant in the center back seat of the car and facing backward until she is 1 year of age and 20 pounds. All children should ride in the back seat until they are 12 years old. Like seatbelts, car seats only work when used correctly and consistently. Life-preservers: Minnesota State Law requires all children under the age of 10 to wear a life-preserver when on any private boat. Find one that fits well. Falls: This is the most common age for babies to roll off beds, couches, and changing tables. Make sure safety straps are intact and applied correctly, or the crib rails up, if you need to walk away from your baby. Taking into consideration siblings and pets, the floor is often a safe place for a baby, and also enhances development. Grabbing and choking: Everything a four month old baby can get her hands around goes straight to the mouth. Watch out for jewelry, eye-glasses, tablecloths, coffee cups, small pieces of food, toys with detachable parts, coins, loose buttons (on your clothes and hers), hot or sharp items, etc. Anything that can fit inside an infant's mouth is a potential choking hazard. Use a playpen as an island of safety during times when your attention is needed elsewhere, but avoid using it for long periods of time. Your baby does need the opportunity to safely explore her world. Remember, if your baby is crying a lot put her in a safe place and take a break. Call someone to help you or call the Parent Warmline (612-813-6336). If you continue to feel frustrated or feel you could harm your baby, call Crisis Connection (612-379-6363) or Minneapolis Crisis Nursery (763-591-0100). Safety The four-month age is thought to be the most social of the first year of life. Your child will often smile and coo at anyone, including doctors and nurse practitioners! Siblings often think babies are more "fun" now, as they can get the baby to respond to actions and talking. We encourage parents to evaluate their own personal time needs and arrange to have those needs met. Family Adjustments Please let us know of any side effects other than a low-grade fever or local tenderness at the injection site. Your baby's next regular health care visit will be at age SIX MONTHS. By then she will be on the edge of mobility, getting more specific at grabbing things, babbling more, and possibly getting a little cautious of strangers. We will discuss advancing solid foods at that time. The scheduled vaccines are the third DTaP, Hib, IPV, PCV7, HBV and oral Rotavirus. The Influenza vaccine is also encouraged for all children ages 6-23 months (depending on the time of year). Please try to be at least 10 minutes early for all scheduled well-child visits. Aim to be human, not perfect, in your parenting.

Acetaminophen & Ibuprofen Dosages If you are using acetaminophen or ibuprofen for more than 5 days, please contact the clinic. Dosing Charts Acetaminophen (healthychildren.org) Ibuprofen (healthychildren.org) Information Acetaminophen is the generic name for medications such as Tylenol®, Tempra®, and Panadol®. General acetaminophen dosage is 5 - 7 mg per pound per dose every 4 - 6 hours as needed. Acetaminophen comes in suppository form, also, (brand name Feverall®) which is good to have on hand in case of vomiting. Dosing is the same as oral. It is not recommended to use acetaminophen if a child is under three months of age (unless specifically recommended by a health care provider). "Treating" a fever or fussiness in this age group without knowing the cause of the symptoms can mask the illness and prolong a diagnosis. Ibuprofen is the generic name for medications such as Motrin® and Advil®. General ibuprofen dosage is 3-5mg per pound per dose every 6-8 hours as needed. Give with food. Ibuprofen is not recommended for infants under 6 months of age.

A special message from Cyndie Hibbs, CPNP-PC to her patients, families and friends. After 20 Wonderful Years, Cyndie Hibbs, CPNP-PC Retires from WCC A Special Message from Cyndie Hibbs, CPNP-PC Dear patients, families, and friends, After 20 years of caring for the children and families that make up this wonderful practice, I have made the decision to retire. This comes with a mix of emotions as I reflect on the meaningful relationships and rewarding experiences I have had throughout my time here. I feel honored and proud to have been a part of your parenting journey. Caring for your children has been an incredible privilege. I am deeply grateful for the trust and confidence you have placed in me over the years. Watching your children grow and thrive has been the greatest joy of my career, and I will always cherish the memories and relationships formed with your family. Parents, I hope I have listened to your concerns and responded helpfully. As a parent myself, it was always important to be a team in your child’s care—to guide and support you. I loved every day I was involved in your children’s lives. Their smiles, thanks, and sometimes the greatest artwork always brought me happiness. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of your children's lives. I will truly miss the connections we made and the special bonds we have built. I look forward to this next chapter of my life. With gratitude and appreciation, Cyndie Hibbs, CPNP-PC Locations Chaska (952) 448-3847 Location & Hours Delano (763) 230-2780 Location & Hours Maple Grove (763) 324-8000 Location & Hours Minnetonka (952) 473-0211 Location & Hours Save time.

12, 13 years (female) Nutrition Try to eat 3 healthy meals a day and limit the "junk" so your body can do its' best work (in school, sports, etc.). Your need for calcium increases to 3-4 servings a day (more than the Food Pyramid suggests) because your bones are soon going to be at their peak of strengthening and growth. Milk, yogurt, or calcium-fortified orange juice are good choices. Also, increase your iron (2-3 foods a day of iron-fortified cereal, meat, eggs, or green leafy vegetables). Your eating habits now will always pay you back later, for better or worse. Many adults wish they had known to eat better when they were younger. Some illnesses could have been prevented by eating more fiber (fruits, vegetables, breads, cereals). Try not to get into habits that will be tough to break, such as eating on the run or in front of the TV. And as your life gets busier, try to eat with your family once a day. If you are unhappy with your body's appearance or performance, take a good look at your eating and see what you could change. If you eat well, drink plenty of water, and exercise regularly, your body will naturally grow at its' own pace. If you are concerned about your size, please talk to your health care provider. Wellness Visits If you want your teeth and gums to be healthy your entire lifetime, take care of them now. Brush well 2-3 times a day and see your dentist 2 times a year. Teeth Your sleep needs may increase as your growth increases. Try to go to bed earlier instead of sleeping in; getting up late can alter your normal body rhythm and make you even more tired during the day and sleepless at night. Also, try not to save all of your "think time" for bedtime — it often delays falling asleep. Sleep Always wear your seatbelt in the car and your helmet when biking or in- line skating, even if no one else does. We see permanent, life-changing injuries resulting from simple accidents, and NO ONE thought it would happen to them. Wear sunscreen if you are outside. A great tan is not worth cancer. Wear your life jacket if boating or near deep water, even if you swim well. Never take medicine (including vitamins) without knowing your dose. Evaluate what it will take to give your body the best. Make the decision now not to smoke, take drugs, drink alcohol, or have sex. Practice what you would say if someone pressured you. It only takes one mistake to change your life forever. If you have questions about sex, HIV or AIDS, drugs, alcohol, or tobacco, please ask your mom, dad, or doctor or nurse practitioner. Introduce your friends to your family, negotiate your curfew times reasonably, and expect that your parents will want to know where you are. If you are in sports, make sure the playing areas are kept up well, and all protective equipment fits and is in good shape. Never share head gear. Safety Your friends and school activities are important, but try to participate in a "family" event at least once a week, and sit and talk with your mom or dad a little every day. You may not always agree on things (such as household jobs, curfew, or friends) but talking about your differences helps you respect and understand each other better. And remember to take some "free time" just for yourself every day. Family Many girls notice the body changes of "puberty" happening now (they can start anywhere between ages 8-14). These include fast height growth, breast development, armpit and pubic hair, body odor, acne, and interest in boys. Most girls start their periods between ages 10-16 (average 12-13). In regards to acne, the best prevention and treatment is staying healthy on the inside (eating well, drinking water, getting sleep and exercise). Wash your face no more than 2 times a day with your hands and very mild soap and limit make-up. Boys usually start puberty by ages 12-14, with their growth spurt at ages 13-16. Body changes can make people excited, nervous, or embarrassed, so respect other people's privacy. If you have questions or concerns about your health, body changes or sexuality, please talk with your mom or dad or your health care provider here. There are also many good books available on these topics. We look forward to seeing you again for a check-up next year!

Our average charges are lower than the community average. Our providers live in, volunteer in, and care about the well-being of the communities surrounding our clinics. Our providers and staff are chosen carefully for not only their expertise, but also, for their empathy and kindness. Provider and medical assistant (MA) one-on-one pairing: the same MA works with the same provider the majority of the time. This allows patient families to form a relationship with their provider and MA pair to provide consistent care. Your experience with us matters. We want our patients to have a great experience every time they visit us so they can trust us and feel comfortable. We specialize in the ongoing needs of your child or adolescent in an environment that is family-friendly, convenient, and compassionate. We provide lactation and integrative medicine services As an independent group, all clinical and business decisions are made here. There are no higher-ups. Our staff members work well together across all departments. The providers set the standard for excellent service and are on the same team as our staff. They are collegial and respectful, inspiring the same qualities in all staff members, which further enhances the care we provide for our patient families as a team. Patient Testimonials Every experience over the last 11 years has been positive! At our home clinic or the walk-in clinic, I have always felt great about the care we receive. I've been with you for 17 years with two kids (one with special needs) and I've had excellent service from everyone with whom I've come in contact on every single occasion. Every experience and all staff at WCC are amazing and we have been coming for 40 years! Love the staff! Keep doing what you are doing! We love the clinic and I refer you to everyone! I love how the office is always clean and the staff are very responsive. My children have been seen at your clinic for 11 years now. Both kids are extremely comfortable with your staff and doctors. Everyone has been so friendly and warm with them. As a parent it's so nice to have kids that want to go to the doctor vs being scared or nervous. Thank you for creating such a great environment for kids! We love Wayzata Children's Clinic! I have recommended this clinic to several friends who now bring their children to the clinic and are grateful for the recommendation!
