Save these RSV tips👇

I know that RSV outbreaks can be a major concern for parents. But I have solutions for you to help prevent and treat! Save this post!

RSV, or respiratory syncytial virus, is a highly contagious virus that can cause severe respiratory illness in infants and young children.

So, what can you do if there is an RSV outbreak near you or your child gets RSV?

Here are my top tips:

❤️If you think your child has come in contact with RSV, immediately give them some Zinc!
..Zinc has been shown to directly inhibit the replication of the RSV virus!

This may be very helpful even before symptoms start to show.

*Zinc is safe in children 6 months and older.

For our younger babies, you still have these 3 tips to focus on:

❤️Take precautions to prevent the spread of the virus.

Most often older school-aged children are who bring home RSV to younger siblings.

So extra hand washing and avoiding close contact during outbreaks are going to be necessary during this time.

❤️Keep an eye out for symptoms.

RSV can cause a range of symptoms, including coughing, sneezing, runny nose, fever, and difficulty breathing.

Start natural medicines right away if any of these symptoms occur!

*If there is any difficulty breathing, seek medical attention right away.

❤️Stay calm and seek support, especially for babies under 3 months.

Remember, with proper care and treatment, most children recover from RSV without any complications.

By following these tips, you can help protect your child from the spread of RSV and ensure that they receive the care and treatment they need to recover.

You got this, mama!

Comment MEDKIT below and I’ll DM you everything I keep in my medicine kit.

Having my favorite natural remedies on hand provides so much peace of mind any time one of my kids gets sick.

I’m always happy I have them ready to go, and I want that for you too.

Trust me, when your kid is miserable & in pain late at night, you’ll be so happy you don’t have to run to the store or wait for a shipment to get delivered.

With natural medicines they work the BEST if you start them at the immediate onset of symptoms!

If you wait too long, you won’t get the same results.

Been there and done that! (lesson learned!)

If you haven’t already downloaded my DIY Doctor Mom’s Medicine Kit Guide please do now!

I made it as EASY for you as possible to build your own kit so you can be PREPARED as a Doctor Mom!

Just comment MEDKIT below, and I’ll send it to you for FREE!

Important note: I know homeopathy brings up a lot of questions.

Because of that, we now have a full Homeopathy FAQ section inside of this free guide, where I answer the most common questions I get from moms, how it works, how to choose remedies, dosing, and when to use them.

The answer may surprise you...

Did you know that the degree of your child’s temperature doesn’t matter?

Even if it’s as high as 107 degrees Fahrenheit, it won’t cause any brain damage.

Brain damage is only possible at 108 degrees or higher.

You can Google “Seattle Children’s Hospital Fevers - Myths vs Facts” to learn more.

Instead of focusing on the temperature, look for symptoms that may accompany your child’s fever.

These include fever with dehydration, a rash, severe ear or throat pain, a stiff neck, or a fever lasting longer than 3-4 days.

And remember, if your child is 3 months or younger with a fever, it warrants a doctor’s visit.

But if your child is older and has a fever with mild symptoms, you can safely help your little one from home.

Try this homemade Flax Cough Concoction… it’s a great home remedy for cough!

Here’s how to do it:

Boil 3 tablespoons of flaxseeds in 1 cup of water until it becomes thick, then strain.

Next, add 3 tablespoons each of lemon juice and maple syrup (for children under 1 year) or honey (for children over 1).

Give 1 tablespoon as needed for cough suppression and to ease discomfort.

For kiddos over 1-year old, consider honey alone.

This simple remedy can be very helpful. Thanks to for the inspiration!

I love sharing home remedies and all of my natural medicine protocols!

Comment SLEEPBLOG below and I’ll send you the full blog!

Melatonin was never meant to be a long-term solution for kids.

It’s meant to help with falling asleep...

but when it comes to staying asleep, calming the nervous system, and supporting natural rhythms? We need more.

After four kids (and plenty of sleepless nights), here’s what I’ve learned:

🌙 Sleep struggles usually have a root cause...and it’s rarely “they just won’t sleep.”

It could be:
✔️ Blood sugar crashes waking them up in the middle of the night
✔️ Overstimulation before bed (hello, blue light and chaos)
✔️ A nervous system that never got the memo it’s time to slow down
✔️ A sleep environment that’s not actually setting them up for rest

The good news is that there’s a lot you CAN do ...AND it doesn’t have to be complicated.

Things like:
✨ Butter before bed to balance blood sugar
✨ Tart cherry juice to support natural melatonin production
✨ Calming bedtime rhythms that help the body feel safe enough to rest
✨ Creating a sleep sanctuary (dark, cool, and peaceful!)

These tools have been so helpful for our family.

I just wrote a full blog post on this with all my favorite remedies, rituals, and room setups... from what I use with my baby to what helps my older kids settle down (without a fight).

How do you handle candy & sugar in your home? I’d really love to know.

This was a real text I sent to a friend after she asked, “How often do you let your kids eat candy?” 😅

I didn’t expect to write a novel… but it’s something I’ve thought a LOT about.

From my experience as a doctor, and my history with disordered eating, I’m intentional about how we talk about food in our home.

No “good” or “bad.” No shame. Just conversations. And freedom within a structure.

If I had it ALLL my way, I’d love to ban ALL sugar.

AND... that is not how I choose to do it for our kids. I strongly feel restriction leads to binging… and my focus is TEACHING THEM how to navigate the overwhelm of our sugar-laden world as my main focus vs restriction.

Enter: Sugar Bucks.

We choose weekends for when our kids are allowed sugar, and they each get 25g max (based on AAP guidelines).
They read labels, make choices, and talk with me about how different foods make them feel.

It’s not perfect. But it feels empowering… for them and for me!

I’d love to know what’s working for you when it comes to treats?

Let’s learn from each other in the comments. 👇

Toddler behavior can feel confusing and overwhelming, but once you understand the root causes behind big emotions, everything begins to make sense.

In this heart-opening conversation, parenting expert Devon Kuntzman shares practical tools from her new book, Transforming Toddlerhood, to help you decode behavior, strengthen connection and respond with confidence instead of frustration.

She explains why toddlers resist, how to model emotional regulation, what to do during meltdowns, why punishment backfires and how to create real cooperation without bribes or threats. We also dive into picky eating, medical routines like nasal sprays, parent nervous system regulation and how to parent as a team even when partners have different approaches.

You will walk away feeling empowered, supported and ready to handle toddlerhood with more ease and compassion.
