Halloween thrills are everywhere, but not all spooky fun is kid-friendly. If your child is curious about watching something scary, here are a few ways to help keep things age-appropriate and emotionally safe:
🎃 Check the rating:
Even “G” and “PG” movies can have spooky moments. Websites like Common Sense Media give detailed reviews so you know what to expect before you hit play.
🎃 Watch it together:
Pause tricky scenes, explain what’s happening and turn it off if it feels like too much. Co-viewing helps you gauge how your child is handling it in real time.
🎃 Talk it out:
Help them make sense of what they saw, and remind them it’s perfectly okay not to like scary movies; plenty of adults don’t either!
Every child reacts differently to spooky content, and that’s totally normal.�

Silence is golden, right? WRONG.
Parenthood teaches you fast: silence isn't calming, it’s unnervingly suspicious. Whether it’s crayon masterpieces on the walls or snack raids in progress, quiet usually means mischief.
For the moments no one prepared you for, we’re just a call away at (601) 579-3000.

Safe sleep isn’t complicated—it’s as easy as A-B-C! "A" is for Alone. "B" is for Back. "C" is for Crib. When it’s time for bed, keep your infant on a firm sleep surface, without toys, pillows, or blankets, and always on its back. Room sharing is encouraged, but bed sharing is not. Have questions? We’re here to help. Call us anytime at (601) 579-3000.

Ever wonder what that little chest scanner is at your baby’s checkup?
It’s a transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) meter. A quick, gentle tool we use to check your baby’s risk for jaundice.
Totally painless. Super important.
Swipe to learn what bilirubin is, how we check it and why it matters.

Teething? Already?!
Yep, it sneaks up fast. If your baby is suddenly extra drooly or fussy, teething could be to blame.
Here are a few common signs:
– Mild fussiness
– Lots of drool
– Slight temperature rise (under 101ºF)
– Swollen, tender gums
Need some relief tips? Try:
– A chilled, damp washcloth
– Frozen banana or berries (if solid foods are okay)
– Solid (not liquid-filled) teething rings from the fridge
Still have questions? Give us a call at (601) 579-3000 to connect with our team.
