A child’s early years are the foundation of lifelong health. From birth to adolescence, kids go through rapid physical and mental development. Ensuring proper medical care, nutrition, and emotional support during this phase is crucial for their future well-being. At Aartas Clinics, our pediatricians help parents raise healthier, happier children by combining medical expertise with a warm, child-friendly approach.
Immunizations are essential to protect your child from deadly diseases like measles, polio, hepatitis, and more. Your pediatrician will provide a vaccination schedule recommended by the Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP).
Tip: Never skip or delay vaccines unless medically advised. Follow your child’s immunization card and set reminders.
Children need balanced meals rich in:
Proteins: for growth (dal, paneer, eggs, pulses)
Calcium: for strong bones (milk, curd, green leafy veggies)
Iron & Vitamins: for immunity and brain development
Avoid excessive sugar, fried snacks, and packaged juices. Instead, encourage home-cooked meals and seasonal fruits.
Sleep plays a vital role in a child’s brain development and emotional regulation.
Ideal sleep duration:
Infants: 14–17 hours/day
Toddlers: 11–14 hours/day
School-age children: 9–11 hours/night
Stick to a consistent bedtime routine—dinner, reading, and lights off—without gadgets.
Even if your child seems healthy, regular wellness checkups help:
Track growth milestones
Monitor nutrition and behavior
Detect early signs of conditions like asthma, allergies, or developmental delays
Aartas pediatricians maintain a full medical history for each child and offer holistic advice to parents.
Mental health is as important as physical well-being.
Encourage open communication
Teach your child to express emotions safely
Avoid yelling or comparing your child with others
Limit screen time and increase outdoor play
If your child shows signs of anxiety, aggression, or withdrawal, speak to a pediatrician or child psychologist early.
Teach personal hygiene habits like:
Handwashing before meals and after using the toilet
Brushing teeth twice a day
Bathing regularly and keeping nails trimmed
These simple habits reduce the risk of infections and build lifelong discipline.
Make physical activity a daily routine—whether it’s cycling, dancing, or playing in the park.
Benefits include:
Stronger bones and muscles
Improved concentration
Reduced risk of obesity and lifestyle diseases
Limit passive screen time to 1 hour/day for kids over 2 years.
