🚨 Car Seat Safety Reminder: Never let your baby sleep in the car seat when it’s not in the car 🚨

You might think, “They’re buckled in — what could go wrong?” — but there are serious risks to letting your baby nap in a car seat outside of the vehicle.

⚠️ Why it’s dangerous:
• Poor positioning = blocked airway
When the seat isn’t installed in the car at the correct angle, baby’s heavy head can slump forward, pushing their chin toward their chest and compressing the airway. This increases the risk of suffocation or difficulty breathing (positional asphyxia). 

• Car seats aren’t meant for long sleep
These seats are designed for short-term restraint during travel, not for sleep. When used outside their intended context, they don’t provide the safe, flat surface that babies need to sleep safely. 

• Loss of support and control
Once removed from the car, the seat might tilt differently or lose its structural support. Straps might loosen, which reduces the secure fit that helps maintain baby’s alignment. 

• Increased risk when unattended or for long durations
Even if you think you’ll watch closely — babies move and shift. The longer they lie in a semi-reclined position, the more the risk builds.

✨Let’s discuss acetaminophen aka Tylenol! ✨

💊 Recent statements in the media have linked maternal intake of Tylenol as the direct cause of autism. This statement is NOT accurate.

💊 Autism is multi factorial and there has not been one single cause of it. There is ongoing research to understand more about this diagnosis and its causes.

💊 Tylenol is SAFE to take per dosage guidelines and in moderation when needed.

💊 If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to our providers for further guidance! We are happy to help 🤍
