Ferritin Testing: What Parents of Young Athletes Need to Know
Did you know that athletes need more iron than non-athletes?

Why Is My Child Still Snoring After Having Their Tonsils and Adenoids Removed?
Approximately 500,000 children in the U.S. each year have their tonsils and adenoids removed for recurrent snoring problems (including obstructive sleep apnea). Although the surgery improves or resolves snoring in most children, some might need to return to their Ear, Nose, Throat (ENT) doctor. Dr. James Ruda breaks this down for our readers.

Fetal Teratomas: Frequently Asked Questions
Teratomas are tumors or masses made up of different types of tissue, like muscle, bone or hair. Fetal teratomas are diagnosed before birth.

The great news is, with treatment, babies born with teratomas usually do very well!

Treating Feeding and Eating Problems in Children with Occupational Therapy
Up to 20% of all children have feeding and/or eating problems, but those who are born prematurely or have failure to thrive, autism, or genetic syndromes are more likely to experience them.
