Hello, It may be just benign elevation but it needs to be followed. I would request heme evaluation but many times numbers need to be relegated every few weeks and make sure they go down. Kids liver is underdeveloped and they are also growing so elevated alkaline phosphatase may likely be transient elevation. Please consult your Pediatrician. READ MORE
15 month old child and covid?
Hi, So we usually don’t separate parents from kids in those situations. Child has already been exposed before your test turned out to be positive. Do your best to wash hands and maybe wear a mask at home but at this point, separation from a child would not make any difference. If the child gets COVID it will likely present as flu like symptoms and most of healthy children recover fast. Get well soon! READ MORE

How do I keep my son on a healthy diet during lockdown?
Hi, I competent understand your worry. Many children have gained a lot of weight due to staying at home and decreased activity. Even if staying home you could make healthy meals and prep lab snacks. Protein such as eggs, peanut butter, cheese, tofu, meats should be in their daily diet, as well as many fresh fruits and vegetables. By avoiding sugary drinks such as juice, soda, power drinks will decrease daily caloric intake as well. Also, portion sizes are very important and not eating after 0700pm at night. Another important thing is to control their excessive electronics use and promote daily exercise, even if able to ride bike or scooter, run and play. Hope this helps! READ MORE

How can I find out what allergies my newborn may have?
Hi, we typically don’t test newborns this early for allergies. We assume they may have milk protein allergy if they have eczema, fussiness with feeds and blood in stool. We usually test a little later about 6 months of age since they are requiring venous blood draw and it’s quite difficult at their age to obtain one at the laboratory. Please talk to your Pediatrician about milk protein allergy before you do any testing. Thanks! READ MORE
How do I know my baby is full when breastfeeding?
If you feed 10-15 minutes on each side every 2-3 hrs and they have wet diaper after feeding and gaining weight appropriately about 0.5-1 oz a day they are getting enough. I would try to pump as well if you can, they need about 3oz of breast milk every 2-3hrs. Hope this helps! READ MORE
