Advice for New Parents: Don’t Panic!

If you are a new parent, you don’t always need to go to the emergency room when your newborn is sick. You may consider this advice easier said than done, and I completely understand.

So when should you take your baby to the emergency room?

• Obstructed airway/breathing issues

• Broken bone

• Cut/laceration that requires stitches

• High fever (104 or higher)

If it doesn’t fall under one of these situations, we can answer most of your questions during regular office hours. If you’re looking for a pediatrician, Tots & Tykes has two locations in Fort Worth and Arlington. You can reach us at (817)652-3395.
