The mystery green puree is… AVOCADO! 🥑
This creamy, mild superfood is packed with fiber, healthy fats, and vitamins - perfect for your little one’s growth and brain development! 💚

💡 Tips for parents: Mash it smooth for babies 6+ months, or mix with a little breast milk/formula for extra creaminess. You can also add it to fruit purees for a yummy, nutrient packed combo! 🍏

✨✋🏼 Glitter Germs: Handwashing Fun! ✋🏼✨

Ever wonder where germs hide? Let’s make handwashing visible and fun! 🦠

1. Sprinkle a little glitter on your child’s hands - this represents the germs we can’t see.
2. Have them wash with soap and water. Watch the glitter “germs” disapper! 🧼
3. Talk about the spots that are easy to miss - between fingers, under nails, and thumbs.

💡 Tip for parents: Make it a game or song: sing “Happy Birthday” twice while scrubbing to ensure every spot is cleaned. 🎶

📸 Bonus: Snap a before-and-after picture to show your little germ detectives how effective handwashing really is!

🪥 Healthy Smiles Start Early!

Did you know dental care begins as soon as that first tiny tooth appears?

Here are a few simple tips to keep your child’s smile shining bright:

🦷 Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
🦷Use a rice-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste for children under 3.
🦷 Schedule the first dental visit by age 1.
🦷 Avoid putting your baby/toddler to bed with a bottle.
🦷Limit sugary drinks like juice and soda - water and milk are the best choices for healthy teeth!

Healthy teeth are apart of overall health - and strong smilies build confident kids! 💙

If you have questions about your child’s oral health, our team is always happy to help!
