Mental health issues can start in early childhood. Talking regularly and openly about mental health with our kids can help them be aware of their feelings and emotions. Mental health is health. Speak to your pediatrician if you have questions or concerns.

Anxiety and depression are on the rise in kids as young as three years old. It is even more important for parents to be aware of their child’s internal struggles and know how to get help. Here are some tips to help you talk to your child about their mental health, and remember that your pediatrician is here to help 🧡

Time change is coming up! Get ready to “fall back” on Sunday, November 2. Here are some tips for how to maintain your sanity while juggling the time change and your kids’ sleep. ⏰😴🥱


In this carousel, I walk through three different ways to handle the fall back transition, depending on your parenting style 👇

1️⃣ A week-long gradual adjustment plan for the super prepared parents.

2️⃣ A day-before plan for parents who know it’s coming but don’t want it to cramp their style.

3️⃣ A post–time change recovery plan for those of us who prefer to roll with the punches. (Hint: That’s me!) 🙋‍♀️

Not sure where you fit in? We’ve got a simple, totally doable 4-Day Adjustment Plan on the blog.

Start the weekend off with some laughs! Here are some great podcasts from to check out with your teen!😆😜🤭

Podcasts are a great and entertaining way for teens to learn about the world around them. Unlike scrolling, which is a more passive way of getting information, podcasts help your teen’s brain stay active.

And we love that it’s a great way to get our teens to use technology in a positive way!

Safe to sleep- follow these guidelines to keep your baby safe while sleeping!

October is SIDS Awareness Month. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the unexplained death of an infant, often occurring during sleep and thought to result from an unknown medical abnormality.

To protect your child, follow the “Safe to Sleep” practices, which include:
💤Placing your child on their back to sleep.
🛏️Using a firm mattress in the crib, with no additional items inside.
❌Avoiding smoking during pregnancy and protecting your child from secondhand smoke.
🌡️ Preventing overheating by maintaining the room temperature between 68–72°F.
🤱 Breastfeeding infants for at least the first six months (recommended).
💤 Having your baby sleep in their crib, not in the adult bed.
👪 Keeping the baby’s crib in the same room as the parent or guardian during the night.
