👶 Some, like eczema or heat rash, are mild and easy to manage.
⚠️ Others — like rashes with fever, spreading redness, pain, or blisters should be checked out right away.

If you’re not sure what your child’s rash means, don’t stress! 💛
Give our office a call — we’ll help you figure out the next steps and make sure your little one gets the care they need.

✨🎃 Trick-or-treat safety starts before the candy! 🎃✨
Before your little pumpkins head out, keep these tips in mind:

👻 Bright & visible: add reflective tape, glow sticks, or a flashlight.
🧙 Proper fit: skip long hems or big shoes that could trip them up.
😷 Comfortable mask: if your child's costume has a mask, make sure they can see & breathe easily.
🧥 Weather-ready: layer up if it’s chilly outside!

🧼✨ Handwashing = one of the simplest (and most powerful!) ways to stop germs in their tracks.

Teach your child to:
⏱️ Wash for 20 seconds (sing “Happy Birthday” twice 🎶)
🤲 Scrub front, back, between fingers & under nails
🧻 Dry hands completely
🍎 Wash before eating, after the bathroom, & after coughing/sneezing

Make handwashing part of your child’s daily routine—it’s a small habit that makes a big difference! 🌟 If it’s tough at home, ask us for tips at your next visit. 💧

😴✨ Safe sleep saves lives! Every nap & bedtime should follow these simple guidelines:

🍼 Back to sleep – Always place your baby on their back.
🧸 Bare crib – Firm mattress + fitted sheet only (no pillows, blankets, or stuffed animals).
🛏️ Room share, don’t bed share – Keep baby in your room but in their own space for at least 6 months (ideally 12).
🌡️ Avoid overheating – Use a sleep sack, not loose blankets.

👩‍⚕️ Dr. Garza reminds parents to check if products are safe sleep approved before buying. For example, weighted sleep sacks ❌ are not safe. You can double-check products at saferproducts.gov
📸 Have questions? Bring a photo of your baby’s sleep setup to your next visit—we’ll help make sure it’s safe!

🧠 What Parents Should Know About Meningitis 🧠

Meningitis is an infection that causes inflammation around the brain and spinal cord. It can be caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi and can become serious very quickly.

⚠️ Watch for symptoms like:
- Fever and headache
- Stiff neck
- Sensitivity to light
- Vomiting
- Drowsiness, confusion, or rash

💉 The best protection? Vaccines!
Hib, meningococcal, and pneumococcal vaccines have greatly reduced meningitis cases in kids. Early protection matters.

If your child develops sudden symptoms, call us or seek emergency care right away. 🩺
