Even breastfed babies need vitamin D supplementation. Talk with your pediatrician about starting your baby on vitamin D.

Vitamin D is crucial for supporting children’s bone health and immune systems—especially during the cold winter months! The AAP recommends that all children begin receiving vitamin D supplements shortly after birth. Babies younger than 12 months of age should receive 400 IU of vitamin D each day, and toddlers and older children should receive 600 IU. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4inQanF

Great rules to follow!!

If you’re heading over to meet a brand-new little one, especially with all the cold and flu bugs going around, think of these as the newborn visitor golden rules: Wash those hands, skip the kisses, stay home if you’re sniffly, and always follow Mom and Dad’s lead. It’s not about being strict, it’s about wrapping that sweet pea in care, respect, and a whole lot of needed protection. 💜 Parents, are there any other rules you'd add to the list?

As we step into January, it’s a powerful time to check in on how you’re really feeling after birth.
Not every postpartum mood change is the same, and knowing the difference can help you get the right support:

🔹 Baby Blues: Temporary mood swings, tearfulness, irritability; usually resolve within 2 weeks
🔹 Postpartum Depression (PPD): Persistent sadness, low energy, hopelessness, loss of interest; may last months without treatment
🔹 Postpartum Anxiety (PPA): Excessive worry, racing thoughts, panic; can interfere with daily life

✨ Early recognition leads to earlier support and recovery.

And remember, perinatal mental health conditions can also include OCD, Bipolar Mood Disorders, PTSD, and Psychosis.
