She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in history in 1994, then took a year off and went to Lake Tahoe, California, to be a children's ski instructor at Squaw Valley. Dr. Dodig then returned "home" for medical school at the University of Minnesota, graduating in 1999. While she officially started at the Wayzata Children's Clinic in 2003, she was already well-known to many of our families, as she did her weekly continuity clinic here throughout her three years of pediatric residency (also through the U of M). Dr. Dodig is board certified in pediatrics, and her clinical interests include adolescent and sports medicine. She also volunteers annually as a camp doctor at a summer camp in northern Minnesota, and is on the camp’s board of directors. Tracie, her husband Jay, and sons Jimmy and Matthew live in Minneapolis and spend their free time skiing (downhill, cross-country, even helicopter!), in the hockey rink, and at their family cabin in Wisconsin.

12 months Nutrition Whole milk has largely replaced breastfeeding or formula by this time, with most children taking 12 to 16 ounces per day. This is an excellent time to wean your child to a cup if you have not already done so. Carrying a bottle around the house can lead to cavities in the front teeth, and is a difficult habit to stop. Having your child eat only in his high chair (for all meals and snacks) encourages him to be a part of the family meal, and avoids "grazing" habits and potential choking situations. Your child can have most table foods, and will probably wish to feed himself without your help. Fingers will work much better than utensils, although most children can start to use a spoon. Regular table meats are usually not chewed well by toddlers and should be cut into very small pieces (as with all other table foods). Appetites usually fall off at this age as a child's growth rate slows. The typical toddler eats well at only one or two meals each day (dinner is usually the pickiest) and eats better away from home. Avoid battles at the table. Your responsibility is to provide healthy food choices and praise whatever is eaten. You cannot make your child eat. See our handout "Feeding Your Toddler, Age 1 to 3" if you are interested in more information on age-appropriate serving sizes and choices. Remember...parents are encouraged to brush their child's teeth daily. This is a good age to introduce the toothbrush, as molars are soon to erupt. Toothpaste is unnecessary, but a small dab may be just the incentive for a resisting toddler. Wellness Visits Many 1 year-olds sleep 10-12 hours each night with 1-2 naps during the day. Your child may cry when placed in the crib for sleeping; be gentle but firm with night and nap routine. See our handout on "Sleep Concerns" if you need some ideas. Sleep Believe it or not, you have already started toilet-training your child. Every time you acknowledge his wet, dry, or messy diaper you are giving information about his body that will be used later when he learns to use the toilet. Remember to choose positive messages. Also, do not be alarmed if you see some undigested food in your child's stool. This is normal when he eats table foods. Elimination You now have a "touch and go" child. He touches everything in sight and then goes on to something new! Recheck all previously child-proofed areas, including the garage and lawn. Walking and crawling children at this age have more courage and often go down unguarded stairways or fall off furniture; constantly supervise. Everything goes into the mouth of a one-year old. 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 happen quickly at this age. Irons, curling rods, lamps, light bulbs, lighted cigarettes, candles and hot liquids are all becoming within reach. Remember, children should remain facing backward in their carseats until they are at least 20 pounds. And, they're in the back seat until age 12. 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. Avoid the potential for Shaken Baby Syndrome by taking breaks from your child before your temper flares. Call a relative or friend for help, or the Parent Warmline (612-813-6336). Call the Crisis Connection (612-379-6363) or Minneapolis Crisis Nursery (763-591-0100) if you're at the end of your rope. We would like to see your child again for a routine checkup at age FIFTEEN MONTHS. Talking, walking and social skills pick up by then, as do tantrums! The final PCV7 and HIB vaccines are due at that visit. Please try to be at least 10 minutes early for all scheduled well-child visits. Every day will bring something new. Watch for it! Safety Many parents ask when it is appropriate to begin disciplining their children. We probably begin at birth. The definition of the word "discipline" is " to teach socially acceptable behavior." We each have our own set of values that influence the behaviors we encourage or discourage. Additionally, as adults, we carry with us the way we were raised and disciplined by our own parents. Evaluate what you want, and do not want, to bring with you in your parenting. The following are a few basic principles you may want to consider when responding to your child's behavior: Be positive. One of our main goals in child rearing is to raise happy, competent children. We teach them how to behave correctly, versus telling them what they are doing wrong. Catch your child being good and tell him what to do versus what not to do. For example, "Write on paper only" versus "Don't write on the table." A good way to get a repeat performance of any behavior is to follow the first one with attention (positive or negative). Keep this in mind when you want your child to play nicely with toys, or when you want him to stop digging in the plants. Attention comes in many forms; eye contact, talking, and touch are the strongest. Know you limits. Take some time to decide how you want to handle a situation. It will be much easier to act appropriately when you know what you want to accomplish. Remember that a child's behavior turns to misbehavior when it goes beyond your limit. Set those limits clearly, and they are much more likely to be followed. All people have their own limits that are important, and others that are not as important. Consistency in parenting (and with all caregivers) greatly improves the chances that children will behave. And remember — the number one way children learn is by imitation. Be specific. Children need to know exactly what you expect of them. For example, "Please keep your feet still" is more direct and effective that "Stop wiggling around." Preserve your child's self-esteem while correcting behavior. Refrain from labeling or other demeaning comments. For example, "Swearing is not allowed in this house" directs the discipline at the behavior, while "You are a bad boy for swearing" directs the negativity at the child. Whenever safely possible, allow your child to learn by experience. For example, having a child touch something warm (with supervision) is more valuable in teaching the concept of "hot" than 20 reminders from the parent. Act quickly in your discipline. Giving a child too many chances, reminders or warnings suggests that you do not really mean what you say. Children quickly learn how many chances their parents will give. State your limit once, then calmly and appropriately do something. Stop negative behavior immediately and avoid verbal arguments. The longer a conflict persists between a parent and a child, the more out of control both become. Parents are good at having tantrums, too! When a child is arguing with you, he is in control. Set your limit, then refuse to argue about it. Walk away. Follow through on everything you say. If you say no, mean no. When a child can repeatedly get you to change your mind by having a tantrum, by screaming, begging, being defiant, or by being suddenly sweet-and-cuddly, he learns that "no" means "maybe." He also learns that he had great power over you which will be quite confusing to him. Spanking invites revenge. Whenever a child is hit, slapped, or spanked, discipline becomes punishment and usually the child's attention is diverted from his behavior to his pain and anger. He may totally forget that he just used his crayon to draw on the wall; he just gets angry that you hit him and his hand hurts. Again, children learn best by imitation. What do you want your child to imitate? Let your child know when he may get another chance. This reinforces trust, teaches forgiveness, and gives kids hope for better days. For example, "I'm setting aside your crayons for today; you can try using them correctly tomorrow." Do not be afraid to encourage the best in other children. You are not meddling by setting your own personal limits with other people's children. For example, if you expect good manners from your children, it is reasonable to expect them from other children when they are around you. Your children will notice this, and will see that your standards are consistent. Above all, remember that both you and your children are human and not perfect. We all make mistakes. Acknowledge this, be patient with yourself, and apologize to your child if you feel you have made a mistake. We are all grateful that children are young and forgiving! Enjoy your growth together.

Whether by birth or adoption, the delivery of your infant will be a long-anticipated and emotion-filled experience. After your baby is born, the hospital will automatically notify us (if you designated us as your baby's pediatric office when you were admitted to the hospital). One of our pediatricians will examine your baby within 24 hours of delivery and again shortly before you go home. At these exams we will discuss some of the common transitions babies make in the first few days of life, and what to expect upon going home, including feedings, elimination, sleeping, visitors, and signs of problems. Remember to add your new baby to your insurance and your insurance card as soon as possible to avoid a lapse in coverage. Call the insurance directly (the number is on the back of your card) or contact your Human Resources Department (if insurance is employee chosen). After Discharge From the Hospital Our preventative well visit schedule begins with a Newborn Visit during the first week of life. Life will be full of changes, learning experiences, surprises, and "firsts," for both babies and parents. Listed below are some of the most common newborn health and care issues that come up in the first few weeks at home. While most babies are healthy, please call us if you feel you have a problem. Weight loss occurs in almost all newborns during the first week of life as they rid themselves of excess fluids. A 5-10% loss is considered normal, and babies are usually back to birth weight by the two-week visit. After that, most babies gain ½ to 1 ounce a day for several months. Sleep will vary considerably. Some babies sleep 20 or more hours a day and waken only for a feeding. Others are awake every hour or so, including through the night! It is recommended that all infants be placed on their backs for sleep. Some sleeping babies gasp, snort, groan and occasionally even pause their breathing while they sleep. It's all normal. Jaundice is a yellow discoloration of the skin caused by the build-up of "bilirubin" in the blood and fat tissues. Bilirubin is the normal result of the breakdown of red blood cells (we all have bilirubin in our bodies). Because there is so much bilirubin produced in the first few days of life (from the birth, bruising, etc.), sometimes it temporarily accumulates in the skin until the liver can break it up and help the body eliminate it. The most common time babies develop jaundice is 2-5 days after delivery. This is rarely a problem, but if you notice your baby becoming quite yellow (or "orange") and lethargic, contact us at the office. The best way to prevent jaundice is frequent feedings (every 2-3 hours) to help your baby have more stools (which is one way the body excretes bilirubin). Mild jaundice can be helped by exposing a baby to window sunlight. Newborn rash or "Erythema Toxicum" is a common rash seen in the first week or two of life. It is a widely scattered rash that consists of red raised spots with whitish centers (resembling "flea bites"). The rash has no symptoms, and no one knows why babies get it, but it usually goes away on its own by the time a baby is two weeks old. Infantile (neonatal) acne is another type of skin rash that usually shows up when a baby is two to six weeks old and is due to the stimulation of the body's oil glands by maternal hormones during the pregnancy. This appears as pink raised "pimples" and can develop anywhere on the body, but most commonly on the face, chest and upper back. Some babies get only a few pimples, while others get covered from head to toe. No treatment is needed nor recommended unless the pimples begin to look infected (increasing redness or fluid-filled pustules). Infant acne does not indicate the future presence nor severity of adolescent acne. Infant breast enlargement is normal regardless of gender and is caused by pregnancy-related hormones. Sometimes a thin white discharge may be present at the nipple. Observation is all that is needed and this should clear within a few weeks. Infant female bloody spotting, or "pseudomenstruation" is the name of the blood tinged vaginal discharge caused by maternal estrogen's effect on a baby girl's vagina and uterus. It is totally normal, and may occur on and off for the first month. Hiccoughs, sneezing, chin quivering, sudden jerking movements and random eye crossing are all normal newborn behaviors and do not mean something is wrong. A newborn's nervous system is very immature and is not used to having to coordinate all those new reflexes. Umbilical cord care usually involves observation alone. Some people still prefer to clean the base of the cord 1-2 times a day with rubbing alcohol, but avoid cleaning too frequently, as this can irritate the skin and delay cord separation. A little bleeding a few days before and after the cord falls off is normal. Dry skin is normal and varies in all newborns. Some get just a little patchy dryness, while others have peeling, flaky, cracked skin all over their bodies. With the exception of extreme cases, lotions are usually not needed nor are they helpful. The dryness will resolve into smooth "baby" skin at about the same time the oil glands mature and erupt (age 2-6 weeks). Circumcision remains a subject of controversy and opinion. There is no overwhelming evidence that supports whether a child should or should not be circumcised, so the decision is left to the parents. If the decision is to circumcise, take care of the freshly circumcised penis by gently washing away debris with warm water. Follow with an application of petroleum jelly and a fresh gauze pad (to prevent the diaper from sticking to the healing site) until there is no more drainage on the gauze pads. Most circumcisions are healed and well-protected within 2-3 days. If the decision is to remain uncircumcised, the care of the foreskin consists of gently removing accumulated secretions with a soft cloth during bath time. It is not necessary to vigorously retract the foreskin during infancy; it will gradually separate over time and eventually become fully retractable. When this occurs, your son can be taught to clean this area on his own. Bathing is initially done with a washcloth or sponge and the baby laying on a towel. When the cord falls off and there is no more drainage from the cord area, bathing your baby is a small tub or sink is fine (remember to put a non-slip pad or washcloth on the bottom of the tub for safety). Most babies need only 1-2 baths a week, as parents clean the dirty areas frequently anyway (around the mouth, nose, neck, and diaper area). Avoid soap on the face, and use it sparingly on the scalp and body (unscented mild soaps are the least irritating and drying). Healthy ears are self-cleaning, and cotton-swabs are never recommended. Baby powder is also not recommended because of the risk of inhalation of the talc and subsequent lung irritation. Room temperature should be determined by what is comfortable for you (68-72 degrees is average), and we advise dressing your baby appropriate for the conditions. For example, if you like your house on the cooler side, an extra undershirt for baby is a good idea. Resist the urge to overbundle. If you take your baby outside (even if only from the house to the car), protect her from the elements (wind, cold, heat, sun, rain, blowing dirt/sand) with a lightweight blanket over her infant carrier. Visitors and outings really need to be limited in your baby's first few weeks of life. This is very difficult for most parents, as the adrenaline is pumping and you are so excited to show your baby to the world. But, having too many visitors to your house or taking your baby to someone else's house is surprisingly exhausting, for parents and babies. Plus, this immediate and often uncontrolled exposure to illness (illness that we adults consider mild and routine) can be serious to a newborn. Remember (and remind visitors) to wash your hands frequently, and always before touching or picking up your baby. Crying is a baby's way of communicating, and does not necessarily mean that the baby is angry. All babies cry, some much more than others. Eventually you will get to know your own baby's cries and be able to distinguish between the "feed me," "change me," "dress me," "hold me," and "leave me alone" cries. Each baby has a separate personality and temperament, which is often what determines how a baby will respond to changes or stimulation. Some babies are very mellow and barely squeak when really hungry. Other babies go into a full cry when their arms accidentally sneak out of the blanket a little. If you feel that your baby is crying inconsolably for more than an hour or two, or longer than you feel comfortable with, please call us. Familiarize yourself with Shaken Baby Syndrome and know who you would call for help if you needed a break from your baby's crying. Pacifiers and thumbs are topics sure to stimulate intense conversation with friends and relatives! In general, all babies need to suck to console themselves; they have no other way to calm down. To deprive a baby of this natural sucking need will deprive him or her of a natural reflex and will likely lead to fussiness. Some babies are very "oral," while others really only suck when feeding. There are certainly advantages and disadvantages of both the pacifier and thumb for these oral babies. Early on, babies usually cannot hold anything in the mouth without help (the pacifier pops right out, or the thumb gets yanked away when the baby startles). If the baby is breastfeeding, and is having a hard time getting the hang of it, pacifiers and bottles are not recommended until the nursing improves. When the sucking strength improves, the thumb is handy because it's always there (especially in the middle of the night). But, pacifiers can eventually be thrown away. Once teeth start coming in, both the pacifier and to a greater extent the thumbsucking can cause displacement of the teeth and an increase to the arch (roof) of the mouth.
