✅Check treats before eating

🦠 Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common virus that can cause serious respiratory illness, especially in young children.

❄️ It spreads like a cold, through contact with infected saliva or mucus, and usually peaks from late fall 🍁 through early spring 🌼.

👇 Who is at risk?👇

👶 Infants.

🧒 High-risk children under 2 years old.

❓How can you protect your child❓

🤰 If you're pregnant, receiving the RSV vaccine between 32–36 weeks can help protect your baby from RSV after birth. This means your baby may not need an additional immunization after they're born!

💉 For infants under 6 months who didn’t receive this protection in pregnancy, an immunization called nirsevimab (Beyfortus) can help protect them.

🎉 This immunization has been shown to reduce RSV-related hospitalizations and healthcare visits by 80% in infants.

👇 When to get it?👇

🩺 The immunization can be given with or between your baby’s routine shots. Talk to your healthcare provider about whether your child needs RSV protection.

🏥 RSV is the leading cause of hospitalization in infants under 1 year old. Keep your baby safe this winter—ask us about RSV immunization today!

☀️ Sun Safety Tips for Summer ☀️
Did you know one bad sunburn in childhood can double the risk of skin cancer later in life? Kids spend a lot of time outside in summer—let’s help protect their skin while they play!

Tip #1: Start with Shade & Clothing
✅ Lightweight long sleeves and pants
✅ Wide-brimmed hats (3” brim is best)
✅ Sunglasses with 99%+ UV protection
✅ Clothing with UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor)

Tip #2: Choose the Right Sunscreen
✅ Broad-spectrum (UVA + UVB)
✅ SPF 30 or higher
✅ Mineral-based: zinc oxide or titanium dioxide
✅ Fragrance-free and hypoallergenic for sensitive skin
🚫 Avoid spray sunscreens for babies and kids. The propellant chemicals should not be inhaled by children – stick with lotion, cream, or stick sunscreens instead!

Tip #3: Apply Sunscreen Correctly
✅ Put sunscreen on 15–30 minutes before sun exposure
✅ Use enough to fully cover skin
✅ Reapply every 2 hours or after swimming/sweating
✅ Even on cloudy days—UV rays still get through!

Tip #4: Shade & Time of Day Matter
✅ UV rays are strongest between 10am–4pm
✅ Check your weather app for the UV index
✅ Plan outdoor activities early in the morning or late afternoon
✅ Stay in the shade when possible

Tip #5: Start Sun-Safe Habits Now!
✅ Teach kids to protect their skin
✅ Set a good example by practicing sun safety yourself
✅ Choose the right sunscreen
✅ Cover up, seek shade, and reapply often!

💡 Fun in the sun is even better when it’s safe. Teaching kids sun-safe habits now sets them up for a healthy future!
