Pillow in a baby’s crib? Before 1 year—it’s a suffocation risk. 🛏️⚠️

“I’ll tell the doctor to give you a shot!” 🚫👩‍⚕️
If that’s what your child hears… they’ll fear me before they even meet me.

Next time, say:
✨ “If something’s bothering you, we’ll go to the doctor—she’ll help us.”
Let the clinic feel safe—not scary.
