Cold noses are cute, but chilly paws aren’t! 🐾 Remember to keep your pets warm this winter — limit outdoor time, provide cozy bedding, and watch for signs of cold stress.

¡Las narices frías son adorables, pero las patitas heladas no! 🐾 Recuerda mantener a tus mascotas calientes este invierno: limita el tiempo que pasan al aire libre, proporciónales camas cómodas y observa si presentan signos de estrés por frío.

Cuddles, feeds, and snuggles are how we connect with our little ones, but even the most loving parents need a break sometimes. 💛

Feeling overstimulated or needing a quiet moment doesn’t mean you love your baby any less. Taking time for yourself, a short walk, a shower, or just a few minutes of calm, helps you recharge and show up fully for both your baby and yourself.

Remember, caring for yourself is part of caring for your little one. ❤️

----------------------------

Los abrazos, las comidas y los mimos son la forma en que nos conectamos con nuestros pequeños, pero incluso los padres más amorosos necesitan un descanso a veces. 💛

Sentirse abrumado o necesitar un momento de tranquilidad no significa que ames menos a tu bebé. Tomarte un tiempo para ti, ya sea un paseo corto, una ducha o solo unos minutos de calma, te ayuda a recargarte y a estar presente plenamente tanto para tu bebé como para ti mismo.

Recuerda, cuidarte a ti mismo también forma parte de cuidar a tu pequeño. ❤️

Buckle up every time. Make sure kids are in the right car or booster seats, properly installed. Don’t drink and drive, avoid distractions, and keep your vehicle at a safe speed, especially in fog or other low-visibility conditions. Always adjust your driving for road and weather conditions.

Trauma centers and hospitals are already at capacity. Let’s do our part to stay safe and get home for the holidays. ❤️

----------------------------------------

Abróchate el cinturón cada vez que manejes. Asegúrate de que los niños estén en el asiento o asiento elevado correcto y correctamente instalado. No conduzcas bajo los efectos del alcohol, evita distracciones y mantén tu vehículo a una velocidad segura, especialmente en niebla u otras condiciones de poca visibilidad. Ajusta siempre tu conducción según las condiciones de la carretera y el clima.

Los centros de trauma y hospitales ya están al límite. Hagamos nuestra parte para mantenernos seguros y llegar a casa para las fiestas. ❤️

Es temporada de gripe, y les recordamos que se recomienda que todas las personas mayores de seis meses se vacunen contra la gripe, también conocida como influenza.
