🦃 Tip Tuesday: Keep Little Tummies Happy This Thanksgiving! 🍽️
Thanksgiving food is the BEST… but tiny bellies fill up fast! Here are simple ways to help kids enjoy all their favorite holiday bites without the post-meal tummy aches:
🥕 1. Offer a light snack beforehand
A little fruit, cheese, or yogurt keeps kids from showing up to the table starving and overeating.
🥄 2. Build a “just-right plate” together
One favorite holiday food + one protein + one veggie or fruit + one small treat = perfectly balanced (and fun!) plate.
🍽️ 3. Encourage slow, mindful bites
Tell kids to “eat like a food judge” — tiny bites, big flavor, lots of compliments!
🧃 4. Go easy on the sugary drinks
Water or milk won’t fill them up too fast like juice or soda.
📏 5. Start with small portions
Kids can always go back for seconds if they’re still hungry.
🎲 6. Take breaks between plate rounds
A quick walk, a game, or helping set up dessert gives their body time to decide if they’re truly still hungry.
🍪 7. Save room for dessert — in mini sizes
Half slices or shareable treats keep dessert special without the sugar overload.
Here’s to happy tummies, joyful bites, and a cozy Thanksgiving with your little ones! 🧡

🧼✨ Holiday Handwashing Reminder! ✨🧼
With Thanksgiving just one week away—and plenty of family and friends to see—it’s the perfect time to help your little ones brush up on proper handwashing. Keeping clean hands means a healthier, happier holiday for everyone!

Here are simple steps to teach kids good handwashing habits:

👋 1. Wet hands with warm water
Not too hot, not too cold—just comfortable.

🧴 2. Add soap and make lots of bubbles
Kids love bubbles, so turn it into a game!

⏱️ 3. Scrub for 20 seconds
Fronts, backs, between fingers, and under nails.
Tip: Sing “ABC’s” or “Happy Birthday” to time it.

🚿 4. Rinse thoroughly
Make sure all the soap is gone.

🧻 5. Dry with a clean towel
Dry hands help keep germs away.

💉 6. Make sure everyone’s up to date on vaccines
A quick check before gatherings helps keep the whole family healthy—especially little ones and older relatives.

A little practice goes a long way in keeping families healthy during the holidays!

🧊❄️ Tip Tuesday: Winter Car Seat Safety! ❄️🧊

Did you know that puffy winter coats can make car seats unsafe?
Bulky layers create extra space under the straps — meaning they may not protect your child properly in a crash.

Here’s how to keep your little ones warm and safe this winter:

👶 1. Remove bulky coats before buckling.
Straps should fit snugly against your child’s chest and shoulders.

🧥 2. Dress in thin, warm layers & add a blanket over the harness.
Think fleece jackets, sweaters, or thermal tops — then place a blanket or their coat over the straps to keep them cozy without affecting safety.

🧣 3. Avoid accessories that didn’t come with your car seat.
Aftermarket padding or inserts can interfere with proper fit and function.

Your child’s safety is always our priority — even in the chilly Ohio winter! ❄️💙

😷💛 We’ve been seeing an increase in croup cases across Central Ohio.

Croup is a common viral illness that causes swelling in the upper airway — often leading to a distinctive “barking” cough and hoarse voice. It’s most common in young children, especially during the fall and winter months. 🍂

Here are a few ways to help your child feel more comfortable at home:
🌬️ Use a cool-mist humidifier, or sit in a steamy bathroom for 10–15 minutes.
❄️ If it’s cold outside, step outdoors for a few minutes or open the freezer doors — cool air can help reduce airway swelling.
💧 Keep your child hydrated with plenty of fluids.
😴 Encourage rest and monitor their breathing closely.

🚨 Your child needs immediate medical attention if they:
➡️ Have trouble breathing or swallowing
➡️ Show signs of stridor (a high-pitched sound when breathing)
➡️ Appear unusually tired or have bluish lips or skin
Most cases of croup are mild and manageable at home — but if you’re ever unsure, our team is always here to guide you. 💛
