A lot happens to our bodies during our formative years. Since children can be resilient to their active lives, it can be easy to assume that if something was wrong, it would surely be obvious. This is not true. Regular visits to a pediatrician are important so as to ensure there is nothing abnormal, things are progressing adequately and consistently, and diagnose illnesses a child presents. Dr. Stacey Eadie and the professionals of Peds in A Pod Pediatrics in Baltimore, MD, can answer some questions about the importance of pediatric care.
Why Having a Pediatrician Is Important?
Preventative Care
While many mean well, there is information overload by countless “experts” weighing in on what is best for the long-term care of your children. We can help you navigate the resources to help you to determine what the proper care is for your growing child to prevent problems from happening in the future. This can be as simple as offering nutritional guidance for optimal growth or something more complicated such as managing an injury to keep it from getting worse.
Consistent Progress
There can be some advantages to having a single pediatrician for a child's entire childhood. When a pediatrician gets to know a child over a period of time, input can be given to the parents that can help the child be in the best health during these formative years.
A Place To Turn
Despite our best efforts, things happen that make us wish we had a doctor to call with a question. Children will develop various rashes, have things happen to them, or will pick up illnesses from other children at school. These are all stressful events. There is a lot of peace of mind knowing that you have someone who can help you when things happen.
