Ok, Prof. Puth! Charlie walks us through the correlation of music to heartbeats. He’s not wrong on how nursery songs speak to a baby’s nervous system to calm them.

Did you know this? 🎶

Great resource to understand these Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders

✨ Is it PPD, PPA, or POCD? ✨
Perinatal mental health challenges can look different for every parent. While postpartum depression is more widely recognized, many also experience perinatal anxiety or perinatal OCD—and each one is temporary, treatable, and deserves support. 💙

This OCD Awareness Week, let’s break the stigma and raise awareness about perinatal OCD—marked by intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and hypervigilance—that can feel overwhelming but is treatable with the right help.

You are not alone. Healing is possible. 🌸

👉 Save this post to learn the differences between PPD, PPA, and POCD.
👉 Share to spread awareness.

🚨 Hyundai Palisade SUV Safety Recall 🚨

Hyundai has issued a recall for over half a million 2020-2025 Palisade SUVs due to the seat belt buckles may not latch correctly. This defect affects the seat belts in the driver, passenger, and second-row outer seating positions. Owners should continue to drive but should fasten their seat belts with a quick, direct motion and pull to confirm they are fully latched until they can have the buckles inspected and replaced for free by a Hyundai dealer.

Hyundai will notify owners of the recall on November 10, but you can also check the NHTSA recall website by entering your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) at https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls

**What to do if you have a child carseat installed?**

If your VIN is listed in this recall and you have a child carseat installed in one of the impacted seating positions, you can choose a temporary solution until it is repaired by a dealer:

➡️ Move the carseat to the second row middle seating position

➡️ Install the carseat using lower anchors in any second row seating position and if your child does not exceed the lower anchor weight limit of your child car seat. Remember to always use top tether if your child is in a forward-facing carseat.

➡️ Use an alternate vehicle to transport your child in a carseat if the above options are not possible or if you have multiple children in carseats who exceed lower anchor weight limits.

As always, our owner Aida is a Child Passenger Safety Technician Instructor (CPST-I) and available for any questions or to help you with an in-person car seat check.
