Hi, it’s Cassi, registered nurse and Child Passenger Safety Technician with a quick winter car seat tip! ❄️

Bulky winter coats & clothing can make a car seats unsafe. With bulky clothing, the harness straps can’t tighten properly and leave extra space between your child and the straps. The bulky material can compress in a crash, leaving the harness too loose to properly hold your child in the car seat and protect them.

Here are some tips to keep your child warm AND safe:

🧥 Remove bulky coats & winter clothing BEFORE buckling
🔒 Buckle and tighten the harness snugly
🧣 Add warmth AFTER buckling - a blanket or coat placed on backwards over the straps works great!

Even if a thin jacket or sweater makes the straps too loose when removed, it’s too thick for the car seat and should be removed in the car seat.

Let’s keep our kids safe and warm on the roads this winter!

is important to help protect your baby while they sleep. Here are 4 things that can prevent accidental suffocation:

1. Always place your baby on their back to sleep - every nap and at bedtime.

- This prevents their airway from becoming blocked, even if they have reflux and spit up. Your baby’s reflexes prevent them from choking, but only when they’re on their back.

2. Don’t bed share - place your baby in a bassinet or crib near your bed for the first 6 months. Your pillows and blankets are hazards for your little one - you can accidentally suffocate your baby if you roll on top of them because you’re tired.

3. Put your baby on a firm, flat sleep surface.

- Babies can easily sink or slump on a soft or inclined surfaces and accidentally suffocate. If your baby falls asleep in a car seat, move them to a crib or bassinet when you get home, or monitor their breathing if they must stay in the car seat.

4. Remove everything from your baby’s crib.

- Soft bedding like pillows and blankets, as well as other items like bumpers or stuffed animals, can block your baby’s face, strangle, or suffocate them.

Influenza has been going around! 😮‍💨😷 Influenza viruses cause infection of the respiratory tract (nose, throat, and lungs) known as the flu. Flu symptoms usually start suddenly & make kids feel more sick or miserable than a typical cold.

To help prevent spreading the flu, wash hands frequently, stay home when ill, and cover your cough or consider wearing a mask.

If your child tests positive for influenza within the first 48 hours of symptoms, they may be a candidate for Tamiflu, or antiviral medication.

Call our office to schedule an appointment if you’re concerned your child is having symptoms.

Here’s your December dietitian tip! During the holiday season, kids have a lot more access to “special foods” 🍪🍬🥧 than they usually do. Sugar intake can feel a bit out of control. Here are a few tips on how to balance out the sweets during snack time.

Remember, the holidays don’t last forever, and even kids get tired of eating treats all the time. Don’t stress too much and enjoy the holiday season!

Over 125 cases of measles have been reported in Utah this year - with over 70 occuring in children under the age of 18. This has been Utah’s largest measles outbreak in 50 years, so it’s important to make sure your child is vaccinated and to know the signs.

Measles is highly contagious! It can spread from person to person, through the air with a cough or sneeze (even lingering in a room up to 2 hours) - and a person can spread it before they know they are sick.

Symptoms usually start 7-14 days (up to 3 weeks) after exposure. Kids usually develop cold symptoms that get worse in the first 3 days before developing a rash. Here’s what to watch for:

🤒 High fever, 104+
😴 Fatigue or fussiness
😮‍💨 Cough, runny nose, red or watery eyes
😷 White spots inside the cheeks (Koplik spots)
🔴 A red, blotchy rash that starts 3-5 days later on the face and spreads to the body.

If your child has symptoms or has been exposed, contact your pediatrician right away. The best protection against measles is the MMR vaccine. It is safe and 97% effective in protecting against measles after 2 doses.
