Child Nutrition
Good
nutrition is one of the foundations of a healthy childhood, and our pediatric office in Missoula County is here to support your family at every stage. From breastfeeding and formula questions in the newborn months to introducing solid foods, managing picky eating, and building healthy habits in school-age children and teens, our providers offer practical, evidence-based guidance tailored to your child's growth and development. We review nutrition and growth at each well-child visit so we can spot concerns early and help you make adjustments that work for your family's lifestyle.
Medicine Dosages
Giving your child the right amount of over-the-counter medicine can feel confusing, especially when they're sick and you're tired. That's why our website includes easy-to-use
medicine dosage resources for common fever and pain relievers, allergy medications, and other everyday treatments. Dosages for children are typically based on weight rather than age, so we encourage parents to know their child's current weight and always use the measuring device that comes with the medication. Our
"Is Your Child Sick?" page also helps you decide whether symptoms can be managed at home or if you need to visit your provider.
Are We a Good Fit?
Choosing a pediatric practice is an important decision, and we believe the best care happens when a family's priorities align with the philosophy of their providers. Our practice follows the vaccine schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and uses antibiotics thoughtfully, following evidence-based guidelines rather than prescribing over the phone. We aim to serve as your child's medical home, so we ask families to contact us first before seeking urgent or specialty care. We use technology to make care efficient, including a patient portal and automated reminders. Learn more about our
medical care philosophy and if we are the right fit for you!
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I schedule a well child visit?
Well Visit ScheduleWell visits are most frequent in the first few years, when children grow and change quickly. Your baby's first visit takes place within the first week of life, usually a day or two after leaving the hospital. After that, we'll see your child according to our well visit schedule.
What should I do if my child gets sick after hours?
After HousWe have a provider on call. If your child has an urgent concern that can't wait until morning, you can visit montanapediatrics.org for a virtual visit and care advice.
Do you offer educational resources about my child's health?
Medical LibraryYes, for non-urgent concerns, use our Medical Library to research information about your child's health including information about growth and development, safety, nutrition, and more.
