Hi, it's Cassi, registered nurse & Child Passenger Safety Technician, with another car seat tip! Rear-facing car seats are the safest position not just for infants, but for toddlers too. Even though it may be tempting to switch at age 2, it is recommended to keep your child rear-facing until well AFTER age 2 and over 30 pounds. Here's why:

✅ In a crash, a rear-facing car seat absorbs the impact forces, protecting your child’s developing head, neck, and spine by cradling their entire body.

🚫 When forward-facing, the crash forces are directed into the harness and your child’s body, which increases the risk of serious injury, especially to the neck and spine.

⚠️ Keep your child rear-facing beyond age 2 until they reach the height OR weight limit set by the car seat manufacturer. Most car seats allow rear-facing well beyond 2 years!

Worried about leg injuries?🦵 It’s a common concern, but leg injuries in rear-facing seats are extremely rare. Children are flexible and can comfortably cross or prop their legs. More importantly, it’s much safer than risking head or spinal injuries in a crash.

Bottom line: Rear-facing = best protection. Keeping your child rear-facing as long as their seat allows could save their life!

Summer should be full of splashes, not earaches! If your child complains of ear pain after swimming, it might be swimmer’s ear—an infection in the outer ear canal caused by water getting trapped and bacteria growing inside.

Symptoms may include:
👂 Itching or redness
😖 Pain when touching the ear
💧 Drainage from the ear
👂 Muffled hearing

If your child has symptoms of swimmer's ear, call our office to schedule an appointment! Swimmer's ear is treatable with prescription ear drops. For prevention tips & more about swimmer's ear, read our full blog by Morgan Leaventon, FNP-C, at our Summit location. Link in bio.

🌟Staff Spotlight: Camille🌟

If you've ever called our office with a medical question, you've likely spoken with Camille, our kind and knowledgeable triage medical assistant. She's been part of our team since 2000, helping parents with care and compassion for over two decades. Camille is an expert at what she does, but it's her heart and dedication that truly make her shine.

🗨What Camille loves most about her job?
"Talking with parents about their children and the friendships I've built with my co-workers and doctors."

✨Fun facts about Camille:
- As a kid, she dreamed of becoming a forest ranger 🌲
- She spent 8 summers as a cook at Camp Bartlett, a Boy Scout camp
- Her favorite children's book and move is Charlotte's Web 🕸
- She's passionate about crocheting and learning new crafts
- Her dream superpower? Controlling the weather and seasons (we think she'd use it wisely!)
- Her happy places are the mountains for camping or sometimes the beach for relaxing. 🏖
- Dream vacations? Alaska or Scotland - but be warned: if she goes, she says she's not coming back!
- Something she wants to learn in the future: woodworking so she can make her own picture frames 🖼

We're so grateful to have Camille as part of our team. Her warmth and wisdom make a difference every day - for families and for all of us here in the office.

👉🏼Next time you call or stop by, give a big thanks to Camille for all she does!

Measles spreads faster than any other infectious disease, which is why it's often the first to reappear when vaccination rates drop. It's highly contagious because it can spread from person to person, through the air with a cough or sneeze — and a person can spread it before they know they are sick.

With measles cases on the rise in Utah, it's important to make sure your child is vaccinated and to know the signs. Symptoms start 7-14 days (up to 3 weeks) after exposure. Kids usually develop cold symptoms that get worse in the first 3 days before developing a rash. Here's what to watch for:

🤒 High fever, 104+
😴 Fatigue or fussiness
😮💨 Cough, runny nose, red or watery eyes
😷 White spots inside the cheeks (Koplik spots)
🔴 A red, blotchy rash that starts 3-5 days later on the face and spreads to the body

If your child has symptoms or has been exposed, contact your pediatrician right away. Vaccination is the best way to prevent and protect your child & family!
