- 2 months - Wayzata Children's Clinic
2 months Nutrition Most babies nurse 5-8 times a day or take 20-32 ounces of iron-fortified formula (or a combination of the two). No solid foods are advised yet. We recommend always holding your baby for feedings. Wellness Visits Infants may start "sleeping through the night" between 3 and 8 weeks of age. This is typically a 6-hour stretch of uninterrupted sleep. Naps will vary in number and length. We recommend routinely putting your baby in his crib, on his back, for sleep. Babies occasionally wake during sleep, but can start settling alone. Sleep Most breast-fed infants continue to have frequent loose stools, but this can change dramatically in the next few months. Some breastfed babies can have a stool once a week or less! As long as these stools are soft there is no need to worry or "treat" your baby for constipation. Bottle-fed babies typically have pasty, soft or semi-formed stools. Frequency and color will vary greatly. Constipation is the difficult or painful passage of hard, pellet-like stool. Please tell your health care provider if you feel your baby is having problems with this. Elimination ALWAYS use an approved car seat, and face it backward in the center back seat of the car until your baby is 20 pounds and age 1. All children should ride in the back seat until age 12. Your baby will be rolling over soon. To prevent falls, never leave him unattended on a sofa or changing table. Be cautious of burns. Do not smoke cigarettes or drink hot liquids while holding your baby. Falling ashes or spilled coffee can result in significant burns. In addition, tobacco smoke is irritating to a baby's developing lungs and may contribute to the development of asthma and ear infections. WE STRONGLY DISCOURAGE THE USE OF INFANT WALKERS!! These rolling seats provide a young infant much more mobility than he or his parents are ready for. Walkers flip over easily, and many infants have gone roaring down stairways, even with protective baby gates in place. Walkers also speed access to open oven doors, space heaters, broken glass, etc. Childproof your baby's environment. Remove small objects (buttons, coins, pins), bags, balloons, food, or toys with detachable parts that could cause choking. Never tie a pacifier around your infant's neck - it could become entangled on a crib or other furniture. Sunscreen and insect repellent are now considered safe and recommended. If you feel your baby is crying a lot (not related to illness) and you are at your wit's end, put your baby in a safe place and take a break. Call a relative, friend, or the Parent Warmline (612-813-6336) for support. If your frustration is increasing, call Crisis Connection (612-379-6363) or Minneapolis Crisis Nursery (763-591-0100). Safety This is a good time for parents to plan an outing away from the baby (to reestablish their relationship or individual interests). Leaving your infant with a trusted sitter is very appropriate at this age. You will miss your baby more than he will miss you! Weather permitting, stroller rides are a nice break, too. Family Adjustments If your baby is uncomfortable due to fever or leg soreness from the injections, you may give Acetaminophen as often as every four hours. A dosing sheet can be found in your clinic baby book. If your baby has a temperature greater than 104 degrees (rectally), is inconsolably irritable for 2-3 straight hours, or is more irritable than usual for more than 24 hours, please call us. Your baby's next regular health care visit is at age FOUR MONTHS. By that time he will probably be reaching out and grabbing things, learning to roll over, and smiling at everyone. We will discuss starting solid foods at that time. The scheduled vaccines are the second DTaP, Hib, Polio, PCV7, HBV and oral Rotavirus. Please try to be at least 10 minutes early for all scheduled well child visits. The first smile makes it all worthwhile!

- A Letter from the Executive Director - News - Wayzata Children's Clinic
A Letter from Our New Executive Director, Eric B. Bettelheim, J.D., ACHE A Letter from the Executive Director In August 2024, for the first time in its 54-year history, Wayzata Children’s Clinic (WCC) hired an Executive Director – me. I come to WCC with over 30 years’ experience in children’s healthcare administration, having been Chief Operating Officer for a large children’s behavioral healthcare organization in New York City. I moved to Bloomington to be closer to my father-in-law, who is in a skilled nursing facility, and other family members. In the past seven months, I have fallen in love with the Twin Cities -- its culture, its food, its people. It has quickly become “home” in a way that New York never was. My focus at WCC is to make sure that it operates in a more efficient manner, so it can continue to provide state-of-the-art medical care in a traditional setting. Most of what I will be doing will be “behind the scenes”. There will be no change in what makes WCC special -- providers who look at and listen to you, and who practice medicine the way it used to be practiced. WCC will continue to be both your primary care providers and a more personal alternative to urgent care. Every so often, I will reach out you directly. I want your opinion on how we are doing -- what works, and where you think we could be doing better. If changes are made to our clinic operating hours/days, it will be based on your input -- telling us which clinics need to be open, and when, to work better with your busy schedules. I look forward to increasing the things that you can do on our new and enhanced Patient Portal -- such as making, rescheduling, and checking-in for appointments online. It will also be easier to use the portal to make a payment toward your co-pay or balance. I want to make your lives easier and better when it comes to your interactions with us -- to improve your WCC experience. In short, the only changes you will see will be changes for the better. Refreshed or renovated waiting room (the fish tanks will still be there) and treatment rooms. Better communication from us, including more targeted outreach and follow-up. Starting in Fall 2025, we will be able to administer flu, COVID and other annual vaccinations to you , the parent, at the same time we are immunizing your child . I’ll be at all five WCC Clinics on a regular basis. If you see me walking through the waiting room or in the treatment hallways, I hope you will introduce yourself and say “hello” (I like to be called “Eric”). And, if you have a question or something you wish to discuss with me, my e-mail address is EBettelheim@wcclinic.org . Thank you for the confidence you are placing in WCC and its staff. You are trusting us with one of the most important people in your lives -- your child -- often at a time they are at their most vulnerable. It is a responsibility we take very seriously, and we will do everything we can to keep earning that trust with every visit. Eric B.

- 8, 9 years - Wayzata Children's Clinic
8, 9 years Nutrition Try your best to eat 3 meals every day of different kinds of healthy foods. The Food Pyramid will help you with those choices and the amounts your body needs to be at its' best. Breakfast is important — it gives you energy for the whole day. You will be better at school and at after-school activities just by eating a good breakfast. And don't forget milk (2 or 3 glasses a day). Many adults wish they had known to eat better when they were younger. We now know that many illnesses people get when they are grown up could have been prevented by eating better as kids. We all need to eat more fiber (vegetables, fruits, breads, cereals) and less junk food (candy, chips, greasy foods, soda). The foods you eat now will make you more healthy (or more sick) tomorrow and also in 50 years! As you grow up, you can take on more responsibility for making your meals and helping with the shopping. Try to eat with your family as much as possible. As your life gets busier, you will want this time to sit and talk with your family. Try to make this time good for everyone, even if you do not like the food. Use good manners, try a small bite, and thank whoever made the food anyway. Wellness Visits You probably are seeing a lot of your "permanent" teeth come in. You will have these new teeth for the rest of your life, so brushing your teeth 2 or 3 times a day is very important. And don't forget to see the dentist for a check-up 2 times a year. Teeth Your body needs 10-12 hours of sleep a night so it can store up energy for the next day and grow more. Sometimes it is hard to go to bed if you are doing something fun, but you know you are giving your body the best. Sleep Always wear your seatbelt (correctly!) and sit in the back seat of the car until you are 12. Booster seats are recommended until you weigh at least 80 pounds. Try not eat food or chew gum when you are in the car — you could choke if the car makes a sudden stop. Always wear sunscreen if you are outside. Always wear your helmet if you are riding your bike or scooter or skateboard or if you are in-line skating, even if no one else does. Never go near water (lakes, pools, rivers) without an adult nearby. And remember to wear your life jacket if you are ever on a boat (it's a Minnesota State Law). Never take medicine (including vitamins) without your parents helping you figure out how much you need. Some medicines could make you very sick if you take too much or if you really do not need them. You are in charge of your body and who touches you. The only people who ever touch or look at your private parts are doctors and nurses (in a clinic or hospital), or your parents (if you ask them to). Give your body only the best. Make the decision now that you will never smoke, take drugs, or drink alcohol. Talk to your family about how they feel, and about what you learn in school. Introduce all of your friends to your family. This way everyone who cares about you can get to know each other. Safety Have you noticed how much you have learned at school the past few years? You are probably very good at some things, and have to work harder at other things. If you always try your best you can be very proud of yourself. Sometimes people need to get some extra help with classes. Talk to your teacher or parents if you do not understand something. Study hard, have fun with your friends and activities, but remember to have some "free time" just for you every day. We recommend limiting your TV, video game and computer time to 2 hours a day or less. School Over the next few years, you may start to notice some changes in your body or the bodies of your friends. This is very normal. It is a sign of "puberty," or the time when everyone's bodies grow up. If you have any questions about puberty, ask your parents, or your doctor or nurse practitioner. There are also many good books available concerning those issues. We look forward to seeing you again for a check-up next year. Please try to be at least 10 minutes early for all of your check-ups.

- 18, 19 years (F) - Wayzata Children's Clinic
18, 19 years (female) 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're done growing, you still need 3-4 foods a day high in calcium to support the completion of your bone 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. Also, avoid habits that will be tough to break later on, such as always 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" or 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, and then it does. Wear sunscreen if you are outside. A great tan is not worth cancer. Take your body seriously. Make the decision not to smoke, take drugs, drink alcohol, or ride in a car with someone who has been drinking. Delay sex until you're truly emotionally ready for this step. It only takes one mistake to change your life forever. If you feel you have made a past mistake, remember that you can always re-contract with yourself and make a better decision from now on. If you have questions about sex, 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!). Remember that driving is a privilege, not a right. You are an adult by law. 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. 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 find 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 Even though you are probably at your adult height, your weight and clothing size may still increase as your body continues to "proportion" itself and strengthen muscles and bones. This is normal. Your periods should be fairly regular (about once a month or so). It is recommended that all young women start having routine pelvic exams at age 18-21 (regardless of sexual history); your health care provider will then check your reproductive system more closely and start screening you for cervical cancer. It is also recommended that you start routine monthly breast exams. We will teach you how to do this. This is a good time to start making your own health appointments as you transition from adolescent to adult care. Be sure you have a copy of your health history (including vaccines) as you move away from home. We are happy to continue seeing you for the next few years if you choose, and we recommend another routine physical next year. Please call with any concerns you have about yourself.

- 14, 15 years (M) - Wayzata Children's Clinic
14, 15 years (male) Nutrition Try to eat 3 healthy meals a day. Your performance in school and other extra activities will respond to what you put into your body (good or bad). You need 3-4 foods a day high in calcium because your bones are approaching their peak growth and strengthening. Milk, yogurt, or calcium-fortified orange juice are good options. And don't forget the fiber — it is known to prevent illnesses such as cancer and diseases of the stomach. Your body does need more calories now than ever before, but try not to cheat it with the chips, fries, pop, and donuts. No one can deny that these "junk" foods taste great, but they can quickly replace what your body really does need and can lead to future weight problems. Try to limit these foods for special occasions. Also, try not to get into habits that will be tough to break later on, such as eating on the run or in front of the TV. Make a point to eat with your family at least once a day; as your life gets busier this may be the only time you actually see each other some days! If you are unhappy with your performance or appearance, 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 look, grow and perform at its' best. 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 If you find that you need more sleep than you are getting, 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. 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. Take your body seriously. 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, pregnancy, drugs, alcohol, or tobacco, please ask your mom or dad or your 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. Remember that driving is a privilege to be taken seriously. Practice. And in case you didn't know, Minnesota State Law prohibits permit holders from using a cell phone while driving. Safety Your friends and school activities are important, but try to do a "family" event at least weekly, and sit and talk with your mom or dad a little every day. You may not always agree on things (such as grades, household jobs, curfew, or friends) but talking about your differences helps you understand each other better. You may find that you have special interests in school or in the community, and are starting to think about what you may be interested in doing in the future. This is also often the time of increasing interest in developing relationships with others. Family & School Many boys notice the body changes of "puberty" happening now (fast height growth, armpit and pubic hair, deepening voice, body odor, increased penis and testicle size, and acne). These changes can continue through high school. In regards to acne, the best treatment is staying healthy overall (eating well, drinking water, getting sleep and exercise). Wash your face and other acne-prone areas (back, chest) no more than 2-3 times a day with your hands and mild soap. Girls have usually experienced most of their body changes by now. All these changes can be exciting or embarrassing, so respect other people's privacy. If you have any questions about your health, body changes or sexuality, please ask your mom or dad or your health care provider here. There are also many good books. We look forward to seeing you again for a check-up next year!

- Newborn - Wayzata Children's Clinic
Newborn Nutrition After a brief period of weight loss, your baby will begin to gain approximately one ounce per day. Babies at this age get all their nutrition from breast milk or formula. Many babies spit up when they feed. If your baby spits up often, keep his or her head raised for at least 30 minutes after feeding. Spitting up small amounts is harmless as long as your baby is gaining weight and is not in pain. Spitting up usually ends by age six to nine months. After feeds, gently burp the baby by holding the baby on your chest, upright and gently patting or stroking the back. Do this for 2 to 5 minutes. Your baby may not burp after every feeding. Do not prop bottles in your baby’s mouth. Do not add cereal to your baby’s bottles. Do not give your baby extra water. Do not give your baby honey. Wellness Visits Breastfed babies should nurse on demand when he or she is showing hunger cues at least 8 to 12 times in 24 hours. If your baby is sleepy, you may have to undress him or her, tickle the feet or rub the back to wake him or her for feeds. Breast Feeding Make sure to always use iron-fortified formula. At first, give your baby 1-2 oz of prepared formula every 2 to 3 hours, which amounts to about 18-24 oz per day. As she grows and appetite increases, you will need to prepare largeramounts. If your baby doesn’t finish all the prepared bottle, you may refrigerate it and use it for the next feed. Do not mix this formula with new formula. Further, if the formula has been heated and has been out of the refrigerator for 1hour or more, discard it. Never heat a bottle in a microwave; if you wish to warm a bottle, a hot water bath is recommended. If you are thinking about switching brands of formula, talk to a doctor first. Formula Feeding Most infants sleep 12-20 hours a day in 2-4 hour stretches. Most babies are loud sleepers. Observe your baby’s noises to learn the difference between active sleep and real awakenings. Your baby may be signaling they are between sleep cycles rather than truly waking. Maximizing the difference between night and day (for example, dim vs. abundant light, hushed vs. normal noise) helps your newborn establish a circadian rhythm, though this may not occur right away. A supine position (“back to sleep”) is best for babies, including premature babies because it reduces the risk for SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). Room sharing is recommended with the baby in a separate, but nearby sleep space. Bed sharing (sleeping in the same bed as the parents, another adult, or a child) is not recommended because it increases the risk of SIDS. Likewise, sleeping together on a non-bed surface, such as a sofa or chair places a baby at risk for entrapment, suffocation, and death. Sleep Stool frequency varies from one every feeding, to once a week or less. Bottle-fed infants' stools are usually soft and green or brown. Nursing infants have frequent, loose, watery, yellow stools. Apply a barrier cream such as Aquaphor between diaper changes to protect the skin from irritation. Elimination PLEASE MAKE EVERY RIDE A SAFE RIDE! Use an approved infant car seat, facing backward in the center back seat of the car until your infant is 2 years old. Check your hot water heater to be sure the water temperature is no hotter than 120 degrees F. Always be near your baby while he is in the bathtub. Never attach a pacifier around your baby's neck. If you feel your baby is crying a lot (not related to illness) and you are at your wit's end, put your baby in a safe place and take a break. Call a relative, friend, or the Parent Warmline (612-813-6336). If your frustration is increasing, call Crisis Connection (612-379-6363) or Minneapolis Crisis Nursery (763-591-0100). Never leave your child alone in a car for any reason, even briefly. Start developing habits that will help prevent you from ever forgetting your baby in the car. Consider putting an item that you need, like your purse, cell phone, or employee ID, in the back seat of the vehicle, so you will see your baby when you retrieve the item before leaving the car. Safety Welcoming an infant into your life is one of life's major stresses! Whether this baby is your first or fifth, the next few weeks will be a time of adjustment. Recognize this and give yourself the time, rest, and support needed to deal with the unexpected changes. It is normal for you to feel uncertain, overwhelmed, and very tired at times. Making sure to rest and sleep when the baby sleeps is one way to help you maintain your sense of well-being. Another is to let your partner and other family members participate in the care of the baby by holding, bathing, changing, dressing, and calming him. Siblings need to hold, touch, and feel close to the baby. Some siblings get overly excited and helpful but can also feel displaced and rejected. Negative behaviors are often directed toward mom or dad because they are the ones who are holding the new baby, saying "just a minute" or "don't do that!" and are also more tired than usual. It's common to see more temper tantrums, clingy behaviors, sleep disturbances and toileting regressions. Talk openly about how the older child feels and find some uninterrupted "special time" daily to spend alone with him or her. Family Adjustments All newborns receive an initial hearing and heart screen before being discharged from the hospital. If the hearing screen was not done yet or was failed, your baby will be referred to a hearing specialist for testing. The results from the newborn blood test collected in the hospital will be available around the time of your baby’s 2 week visit.

- Good Faith Estimate - Wayzata Children's Clinic
You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don't have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of their bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3095.
