Trends
Nothing logged in the last few weeks. Once you log on the Today tab, sleep, naps and anything else you track show here day by day, so slow changes are easy to spot.
Sick day
Temperatures and symptoms, with what the AAP says to do at Juniper’s age.
Nothing logged in the last 3 days. On a sick day, log temperatures and symptoms as you go, to see what the AAP says and to tell the doctor exactly what happened.
When to get help
- Call 911: can't be woken, too weak to move, severe trouble breathing, or purple or blood-colored spots on the skin.
- Go to the ER now: a stiff neck, a seizure with the fever, hard to wake up or confused, or (under 1 year) a bulging soft spot.
- Call the doctor now: looks very ill, trouble breathing, unusual sleepiness or fussiness, an unexplained rash, repeated vomiting or diarrhea, signs of dehydration, severe sore throat, trouble swallowing or ear pain, pain when peeing, can't move an arm or leg normally, has been somewhere very hot (like a hot car), shaking chills lasting more than 30 minutes, or a fever with a heart problem or a weak immune system.
- Under 3 months: a temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher means calling the doctor now, even if your baby seems fine.
Medicine doses come from your child's doctor or the package; CradleOn doesn't give doses. The AAP says never to give a child aspirin, ibuprofen isn't for babies under 6 months, and under 12 weeks no fever medicine before your baby is seen.
General information from the AAP, not a diagnosis. Your doctor knows your child best.
Teething
When: First teeth usually come in between 6 and 10 months. Teething discomfort can start weeks or months before, possibly as early as 3 months.
Fussiness, drooling, chewing on things, and a drool rash around the mouth.
What helps
- A firm rubber teething ring (not liquid-filled, and not frozen solid).
- A clean, chilled, damp washcloth to chew on.
- Rubbing the gums gently with a clean finger.
- Pain medicine only if your child's doctor advises it, at their dose.
What to avoid
- Numbing gels with benzocaine or lidocaine. The FDA warns benzocaine can cause a rare, serious drop in blood oxygen, and lidocaine can cause seizures and heart problems.
- Homeopathic teething tablets.
- Amber, wood or bead teething necklaces and bracelets: the FDA has reports of deaths from strangling and choking.
The AAP says teething doesn't cause a true fever. At 100.4°F (38°C) or higher it's likely an illness, so call your pediatrician.

18-month checkup
Overdue: it was due around Jun 11
Bring these up at the visit
From the milestone check-ins, answered “Not yet” or “Not sure”:
2 years
- Kicks a ball
Worried about any of these? You don’t have to wait for the visit: call your pediatrician any time.
Did the 15-month checkup happen? It was due around Mar 12.
If you missed one, that’s common. Mention it at the next visit and your pediatrician can catch up any screenings or vaccines.
What happens
- Weight, length and head size, plotted on a growth chart
- A full physical exam
- Developmental screening: a standard questionnaire on how your child moves, plays, talks and learns
- Autism screening: a short standard questionnaire
- Questions about hearing, vision, lead and anemia risk
- An oral health check
- Fluoride varnish painted on the teeth (every 3 to 6 months once teeth are in)
- Questions about how your family is doing, including your own well-being
Vaccines commonly given
- Hepatitis A (2nd dose, 6 months after the 1st)
- DTaP (4th dose), if not given at 15 months
- Hepatitis B or Polio (), if still due
- Flu (yearly, in flu season)
Vaccine schedules vary, and since 2025 the American Academy of Pediatrics and CDC have published different ones. This list follows the AAP schedule and shows what's commonly given, but the exact timing and brands differ between practices. Your pediatrician will confirm what's due at each visit. RSV protection for babies depends on the season and on whether an RSV vaccine was given in pregnancy. If a dose is missed or you're behind, catch-up is possible, and the series doesn't need to start over.
Questions to ask
- What do the screening results mean for us?
- How can we help our child's talking along?
- How do we handle biting, hitting or tantrums?
- When is it time to think about potty training?
Teeth and the dentist
- Book the first dental visit by the first birthday, or within 6 months of the first tooth, whichever comes first.
- After that, a checkup about every 6 months, or as often as your dentist suggests.
- Fluoride varnish, painted on at the pediatrician's or dentist's office, helps prevent cavities from the first tooth. It's usually repeated every 3 to 6 months.
- Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste: a smear the size of a grain of rice under 3, and a pea-sized amount from 3.
- Brush last thing at night, after the last food or drink of the day.
Allergens
The nine common food allergens. Tap one when Juniper tries it.
How to introduce them
The AAP says most babies can try egg, peanut, dairy and sesame around 6 months, along with other solids, after a few first foods have gone well. Waiting doesn't prevent allergies. Before 12 months: no cow's milk as a drink, and no honey (it can cause infant botulism).
Severe eczema, or an egg allergy already? NIAID suggests peanut foods as early as 4 to 6 months, but talk to your baby's doctor first: they may suggest a test or a first taste in the office.
Once a food goes well, keep it coming: at least once a week, say the allergy societies of Australia (ASCIA) and Canada (CSACI), and the AAP says to keep it in your baby's diet routinely. For babies at higher risk, NIAID suggests about 6 to 7 grams of peanut protein a week, over 3 or more feedings.
For how long? There's no agreed age to stop. Canadian allergists (CSACI) say about 5 years appears to be enough for peanut, and other foods may need the same; how long matters beyond that isn't known. So think of them as everyday foods to keep on the menu, not a list to finish.
Start with a small taste, at home, earlier in the day, so you can watch for a couple of hours.
Signs of a reaction
A rash, vomiting or diarrhea after a new food: stop offering it and talk to your pediatrician before trying it again.
Call 911 if, especially soon after eating, there's trouble breathing, wheezing, repeated coughing or trouble swallowing, swollen lips or tongue, widespread hives, pale or bluish skin, repeated vomiting, unusual sleepiness, dizziness or fainting. If your child has prescribed epinephrine, use it right away, note the time, and call 911 for an ambulance; the AAP says a second dose may be needed if symptoms get worse or don't improve in 5 minutes.
General information from the AAP and NIAID, not a diagnosis. Your doctor knows your child best.

Tired signs to watch for
Yawning, rubbing eyes or ears, staring off, going quiet, fussing, or turning away from play. Starting the wind-down when these show up often goes more smoothly than waiting for the clock.
Traditional practiceHow sure is this?
Widely practiced and generally harmless, but with little solid evidence behind it.
Awake-time ranges are widely used by parents and sleep consultants, but there's little formal research behind exact numbers. Treat this as a rough guide, follow your baby's cues, and always put them down on their back in a clear crib.
Today’s read
A myth, a question and some good news, new each day.
Mythbuster
“Baby teeth do not matter because they fall out anyway.”
What’s true
Baby teeth hold space for adult teeth and help with chewing and clear speech, and the back ones stay until around 10 to 12. Decay in them causes pain and infection and can affect the adult teeth underneath.
Well establishedHow sure is this correction?
Major medical bodies agree on this. Treat it as standard guidance.
This rating is for the correction above, not the myth.
Question of the day
How much should I play with my toddler, and how much alone?
Both matter. Short bursts of play where you follow their lead are powerful for language and connection. Stretches of independent play, with you nearby, build focus and problem-solving. You do not need to entertain them all day; being available and interested counts.
Good news
Childhood vaccines have saved an estimated 154 million lives over the past 50 years, 101 million of them babies.
WHO, 2024Toddler years
From first birthday to kindergarten: checkups, safety, sleep and the big steps, surfaced as each one comes up.
Health
- Flu shot this seasonThe American Academy of Pediatrics recommends it every fall for everyone from 6 months. Children getting it for the first time need two doses, at least four weeks apart.
Safety
- Stay rear-facing until the seat's limitTurn the seat forward only once they reach the highest rear-facing height or weight the seat allows. For many convertible seats that's well past age 2. Bent legs are fine.
Sleep
- Move to a toddler bed when readyUsually when they start climbing out of the crib. There's no prize for going early. Keep the routine the same and gate the doorway or stairs.
Big steps
- Watch for signs of potty readinessStaying dry for a couple of hours, telling you about a wet or dirty diaper, interest in the toilet. Many children are ready between 2 and 3. Waiting for the signs usually makes it quicker.
- Look into daycare and preschool optionsVisit a few, ask about ratios, staff turnover and how they handle behavior. Good places often have waiting lists.
- Apply for preschoolApplications are often due up to a year before the start date. Check deadlines, and whether your state offers free pre-K.
