As your child ages, the vaccines they received during infancy and toddlerhood begin to have decreased levels in their immune system so boosters are needed.

School-age kids need important boosters such as Tdap, MMR, and varicella. These vaccines prevent diseases like whooping cough and measles, which can still pose risks in school communities.

Staying up to date keeps everyone safe.

Call our office today to make sure your child is ready for the school year with all required vaccines or send us a message through the portal.

Returning to work can be a stressful time for all parents, but especially for breastfeeding mommas.

Here are a few tips to make your transition a little smoother:

✅ Start pumping a few weeks before returning to work to build a freezer stash

✅ Invest in a quality pump (check if insurance covers it)

✅ Label & store milk safely (don’t forget a cooler bag)

✅Talk to your employer about pumping breaks and private space

✅ Nurse before and after work to maintain connection and supply

Want personalized tips? At Tamalpais Pediatrics we understand the working parent juggle so give us a call today to chat with an Advice Nurse or schedule an appointment. You can also send us a portal, and we can send you personalized tips.

In the first few days after birth, frequent feeding (8–12 times per day) is expected as your baby learns to nurse and your milk supply starts to increase. In the first few days, your body will produce colostrum (liquid gold). Colostrum is rich in nutrients and antibodies that help protect your newborn. It’s common for milk to take a few days to come in, and some mothers may experience engorgement or discomfort.

Latching may require practice, and it’s normal to have questions or need guidance.

We understand bringing a new baby home can be overwhelming and that is why we are here for you in those early days for all your needs.

Call our office to speak with an Advice Nurse, schedule an appointment with your provider or our Lactation Consultant, or you can send us a portal message. Tamalpais Pediatrics will ensure you have all the resources needed for a successful transition home with your new baby.
