Kids learn to read at different paces, and it’s normal for them to struggle at some point. But if your child seems particularly frustrated with reading and writing over an extended period of time, there’s a chance they may have a learning disorder called dyslexia. Contact your pediatrician if your child is showing signs of dyslexia.

Accidental Suffocation and Strangulation In Bed, or ASSB, occurs when something limits a baby's breathing, like when soft bedding or blankets are against their face or when a baby gets trapped between objects, such as a mattress and wall. Among babies, accidental suffocation is responsible for three-fourths of all unintentional injury deaths.
