Doctor's advice:

• “Child health care begins with prevention. Schedule regular visits to the pediatrician — they help assess the child’s physical and emotional development, adjust nutrition, sleep, and lifestyle, and detect possible deviations in time. Follow your doctor’s recommendations and vaccination schedule. Breastfeeding support, a safe environment, emotional care, and sufficient physical activity are the foundation of strong child health and parental peace of mind.”
