RN Triage Support Services Our registered nurses are here to answer your questions 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The role of our registered nurses (RNs) is to answer your medical questions or concerns, offer home care tips, or help you decide if your child needs to be seen in clinic. After speaking with you, if necessary, they will consult with your primary care provider and call you back. During clinic hours, our registered nurses are available for consultation. For after-clinic-hour concerns, RNs from the Children's Health Network (associated with Children's Minnesota) are available. These nurses will answer your questions or, if necessary, put you in contact with a Wayzata Children's Clinic pediatrician who is on-call seven days a week, 24 hours a day. For life-threatening emergencies, please dial 911.

9 months Nutrition Breast milk or formula intake will decrease as solid foods increase, and many babies begin using a cup at this age. Whole milk will start at 12 months. Offer 3-4 meals of soft, smashed, or carefully cut table foods, and slowly advance through the different choices and onto thicker foods. You can offer a variety of finger foods (including a cracker or teething biscuit), but observe carefully for choking. Also observe to make sure your baby does not put too much food in her mouth at once! Rest assured that your baby will start learning chewing skills whether or not she has teeth. For more information on serving choices and sizes for this age group, please review our handout on nutrition for 9-12 month-olds. Eating in a high chair and at your mealtime will help your baby feel like part of the family and encourages an interest in food and in trying new items. Wellness Visits It is recommended that you brush your baby's teeth twice daily (especially before bedtime) with a soft cloth and warm water. Try not to leave a bottle in the crib with your baby. This enhances tooth decay and could cause choking. Oral Health Most babies sleep 10 to 12 hours at night, and frequently decrease naps to once daily. This is a common age for nightwaking to occur, unrelated to hunger (see our handout on "Common Childhood Sleep Concerns"). Establishing a consistent bedtime routine is often very beneficial, including putting your baby down awake for all sleep times. Babies that already know how to fall asleep without much help from a parent can fall asleep better in the middle of the night. Sleep Do not be alarmed if you see a small piece of undigested solid food in your baby's stool. This is quite common as a child's diet becomes more complex. Odor and consistency may differ greatly from that of early infancy. Elimination Car Seat — Your infant may resist, but keep her strapped securely. The car seat may be turned facing the front of the car when your child reaches age one and 20 pounds. All children should ride in the back seat until age 12. 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 — Babies often go down unguarded stairways, so make sure your gates are secure (both at the top and bottom of the stairs). Bumper pads are a good idea around sharp edged coffee tables and fireplace corners. Ingestions — Everything goes into the mouth of a nine-month-old baby. In addition to securing all potential hazards out of reach, we suggest that you keep the Poison Control Center (800-222-1222) phone number handy (next to all of your home phones, and programmed into your cell phone). Burns — Irons, curling rods, lamps, light bulbs, lighted cigarettes, hot coffee, and hot food are all within reach of a crawling or walking child. Shaken Baby Syndrome is preventable. If you feel frustrated with your baby's crying, put her in a safe place and take a break. Call a friend, relative, or the Parent Warmline (612-813-6336). If you are at the end of your rope, call Crisis Connection (612-379-6363) or Minneapolis Crisis Nursery (763-591-0100). Safety Be prepared for numerous colds, coughs, flus, and other assorted viral infections, averaging 6-12 episodes per year. This is the normal process of your child's immune system getting educated in the real world, usually with the assistance of more public exposure. The vast majority of illnesses are minor and self-limited, and the frequency will decrease as your child gets older. Good hand washing decreases the incidence of illness and prevents spread to other family members. Illness This is the peak age of parental attachment. Your baby may be fearful of strangers (and even family members) and may cry when left with the sitter or daycare provider. Also, your baby may now be upright, grabby, and intruding on a sibling's territory. Consistent and appropriate limits are helpful. We recommend the next well-child visit at age TWELVE MONTHS. By then your baby may be on the verge of walking, talking, and testing your parenting skills and patience! The scheduled vaccines at that visit include the first Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR), Varicella (chicken pox), and Hepatitis A vaccines. You will soon have a walking bundle of energy on your hands.

20, 21 years (male) Nutrition Try to eat 3 healthy meals a day and make this a habit for life. Your performance in school and at work and even during your free time activity still depends on your diet. Even if you feel you are done growing (or close to being done) you still need 3-4 foods a day high in calcium to support the completion of your bone growth and density and continued bone strengthening. Also, 2-3 iron-rich foods a day are still recommended to support your blood. Read food labels to see how much fiber you need and how much you are actually getting — fiber is known to prevent colon cancer and heart disease. Avoid the "traps" that often affect people your age out on their own. Junk foods taste great but can deprive your body of what it really needs and can put on the excess weight (as can alcohol). Also, avoid habits that will be tough to break later on, such as eating in a rush or in front of the TV, or eating when stressed or while studying. If you are unhappy with your appearance or performance, take a good look at your eating and see what you could change. There is no vitamin or "energy" supplement nearly as good as just eating a healthy diet, drinking plenty of water, and exercising regularly. This becomes even more important if you are a college student or at a job where you feel you are not as active as you used to be (or would like to be). See your dentist every six months for regular cleanings and exams. Wellness Visits Keeping your body on a fairly regular wake/sleep schedule (even on weekends) will help you get the sleep you need. Try not to save all of your "think time" and studying for bedtime — it often delays falling asleep. Sleep Always wear your seatbelt in the car and your helmet when biking or in- line skating. NO ONE thinks an accident will happen to them. Wear sunscreen if you are outside. A great tan is not worth cancer. Take your body seriously. Tobacco, drugs, and irresponsible alcohol use change lives, and usually not for the better. Far too many adults have regrets about past decisions they wish they could change. If you feel you have made a past mistake, re-contract with yourself and make better future decisions. If you are sexually active, or planning to be, be smart and responsible. If you have questions about sex, your sexuality, HIV, pregnancy, STDs, drugs, alcohol, or tobacco, please talk with another adult whom you trust and respect. If you live away from home and return for a visit, expect that your parents will still want to know where you are and who you're with (yes, they have their own adjustments to make regarding your independence at home!). More injuries occur in unorganized sports ("pick-up games" or "a quick jog") than ever before. Warm-up and stretch well before any exercise. Safety Continue to prioritize your demands — the ones you place on yourself as well as the ones others place on you. You will find that balancing all the parts of your life (including your free time) is the key. Try to talk to your family frequently, even if by phone. You may be surprised by how many more agreements you have now! This can be a fabulous, and stressful, time. On one hand, increasing independence and decision-making power is great. On the other hand, stresses of school and money, lack of familiar support, and increasing responsibilities and uncertainty can take their toll. If you are finding yourself getting stressed out more than you feel you should or can reasonably handle, please talk to someone. A friend, parent, favorite professor or coach, counselor, or health care provider can offer support and help. Social, Family, & School You have probably gone through most of your growth by now, but your body will continue to "proportion" itself for years. It is recommended that all men do routine monthly self-testicular exams. Some men are uncomfortable doing this at first, but we will teach you how to do this and discuss why it is important, even at your age. Testicular cancer affects younger men more than older men. This is a good time to start making your own health appointments(if you haven't already) and looking into an adult health clinic. Be sure you have a copy of your health history (including vaccines) as you move away from home. We recommend yearly physicals. Please call with any concerns you have about yourself.
