It can take 1 to 4 weeks for symptoms to appear after someone's been exposed to the bacteria. Symptoms can last for several weeks.

Some infected people may have no symptoms.

Symptoms depend on the type of infection.

Chest cold symptoms
Common symptoms include:

- Feeling tired
- Fever
- Headache
- Slowly worsening cough
- Sore throat

Younger children may have different symptoms
Instead of chest cold symptoms, children younger than 5 years old may have:

- Diarrhea
- Sneezing
- Sore throat
- Stuffy or runny nose
- Vomiting
- Watery eyes
- Wheezing

Pneumonia symptoms
People with pneumonia caused by M. pneumoniae can seem better than expected for someone with a lung infection. With mild symptoms, people may not stay home or in bed. Thus, the phrase "walking pneumonia" was coined.

Common symptoms include:

- Cough
- Feeling tired
- Fever and chills
- Shortness of breath

Brainy Background: When you're in tune with your child, you'll be able to pay attention to their needs and interests. This deepens the trust between you. Your child needs this security to reach out into the world to explore, experiment, discover, and learn.

Actividad: Tómese el tiempo para observar

Uso: En cualquier momento, En cualquier lugar

Descripción: Tómate un minuto para observar a tu niño el día de hoy. Presta atención a lo que mira, cómo se mueve, cómo se escucha, y qué está aprendiendo. Incluso cuando estés ocupado, responde a lo que tu niño está aprendiendo para profundizar tu conexión con él.

When reading with a child with a speech and language delay, they may not understand every word, but will enjoy cuddling with you to share a book. Over time, reading aloud can also strengthen speech and language skills and is a way to give your child a gift that will last a lifetime—a love of books!

If your child has a speech and language delay and reading together is a challenge, consider implementing these tips during your next reading session:

1. Read together when it’s fun and relaxing. Younger children may be easily distracted, so start by reading for just a few minutes at a time.

2. Read the same story many times. Children enjoy the repetition and it helps them learn language.

3. Use books with rhymes or songs. Clap along to the rhythm and help your child clap with you. As the child grows, suggest filling in words. “Twinkle, twinkle, little star. How I wonder…”

4. Point to pictures and talk about them. “Look at the silly monkey!” And ask your child to point at certain things. “Where’s the cat?”

5. Talk about things in the story that your child knows. That bear has blue pajamas just like you!”

6. Ask questions about the story. “Is that bunny hiding?” As your child grows, ask harder questions. “What do you think will happen next?”

There are 3 common considerations parents have when it comes to bars - protein, fiber, and sugar.
⁠⁠
🫘 Protein Rich⁠
Protein needs for kids vary by weight, so every kid is different. As an estimate, it’s roughly 16 g per day for small kids, going toward 20 a day as they get bigger, and keeps going up as they grow.⁠

If we divide 20 g across 5 meals and snacks, we get 4 g of protein per meal and snack (3g for smaller kids). This is a quick way to tell if something has a lot or a little protein in it. ⁠

🌾 Fiber Rich⁠
If you have a kid who’s low on fruits, veggies, whole grains, beans, etc. a bar may be able to help. Kids 8 and under need 19 or 25 g of fiber per day, so that would be 4-5 g per meal or snack. It’s hard to find bars with a lot of fiber, which is why adding on a fruit and vegetable can help if fiber is your primary goal.⁠

🍪 Lower Sugar⁠
It’s recommended for kids ages 2+ to eat less than 25 g of added sugars per day (on average). While that number may not be practical for all families, it can put amounts of sugar into context. This is why, if sugar is top of mind, it is recommended to aim for a bar with less than 5-6g of added sugar.

Young children have the highest risk of being injured at home because that's where they spend most of their time. Most childhood injuries, like choking for example, can be predicted and therefore prevented. Supervision is the best way to prevent injuries.

Here are some ways to PREVENT CHOKING at home:

🗣 Don’t let children put small things in their mouths.

🗣 Toys, household items, and food can all be choking hazards.

🗣 Teach your child to chew his or her food fully before swallowing.

🗣 Choose the foods that you feed your child carefully. Popcorn, hard candy, nuts, hot dogs, and grapes are choking hazards. Avoid fish with bones.
