There’s a lot of information floating around about folinic acid… and honestly, not all of it is accurate. 💛

As integrative, board-certified pediatricians who prescribe prescription-strength Folinic acid (aka Leucovorin), here are 3 common misconceptions we often hear:

1️⃣ “It’s the same as folic acid.”
It’s definitely NOT. Folinic acid and folic acid are different compounds and work differently in the body.

2️⃣ “The over-the-counter version is enough.”
Most OTC options are around 1 mg, while therapeutic dosing (when medically appropriate) can be significantly higher and needs to be carefully monitored.

3️⃣ “There’s no data to support its use.”
Groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics have called for larger studies — which is completely understandable. At the same time, clinical experience and current AND emerging research continue show it's safe and effect in certain pediatric populations.

Our goal is always to share balanced, evidence-informed information so families can make thoughtful decisions. 🌿

If you’d like our in-depth guide that explains the research, safety considerations, and practical details, comment “folinic acid” below and we’ll happily send it your way. 💛✨

Even though cough and cold season may be coming to an end, your child could still get sick during this time 🌙🤍 Coughs can happen anytime, and most of the time they are caused by simple colds—not pneumonia.

Two simple signs that a cough is likely NOT pneumonia:
✅ Fever is under 101°F (in the 99s or low 100s)
✅ Your child looks better when the fever comes down

With pneumonia, children look sicker over a few day and DON'T perk up when the fever improves. If you’re unsure, it’s always best to have your pediatrician listen to your child’s lungs—and sometimes a chest X-ray may be needed. 🩺

Working on creating a healthy pantry at home? 💛👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

I love remembering when my daughter said, ‘There’s nothing to eat in here… these are JUST ingredients!’ 😂 I knew we were on the right track!

A healthy pantry is filled with Whole Foods & Real ingredients that nourish growing kids.
🌿🥕

Once kids get used to having healthier choices in the pantry, they won't feel like there's nothing to eat! Just takes some time and consistency. 🌟

It’s time for all of us to say goodbye to Benadryl 💊👋

Did you know?
Benadry acts like ALCOHOL—even without obvious drowsiness—meaning a person may feel awake but have decreased coordination and alertness. 😮

There are safer, more targeted antihistamines for children and adults to treat allergies and allergic reactions. 🌿💛

Our goal is always to choose the safest and most effective care for our kids - as Parents AND Healthcare professionals.

When we know more, we can do better! 🧠✨

Exciting news! 🤍✨

Probiotics aren’t just for prevention? 🌿 We already love them for gut health and the gut-brain connection! New research shows something equally AMAZING…

🦠 When kids with a cold and fever took probiotics for 14 days:
🔥 Fever duration was reduced by up to 2 full days!
That means getting back to feeling better—and back to school and play—sooner. 🎒⚽

The probiotic strains studied included lactobacillus and bifidobacter, which are commonly found in quality probiotics.

Hi everyone! 👋 Dr. Sant here. I recently found out I had no immunity to measles , mumps or rubella. After making sure it was safe for my health situation, I decided to get my MMR vaccine 💉.

Measles outbreaks are happening all across the U.S., Protecting ourselves and our kids is critical. For me, if you live and work with kids, protection against the measles virus is important!🌟👶

We don't always talk about the risk of disease as our focus is often on the risks of doing or not doing a vaccine. There are risks of ILLNESS as well.

The risk of complications like pneumonia, encephalitis (brain swelling) and immune problems is HIGH with the measles virus especially in young children.

Vaccines are a big decision especially when you are not sure about the information you are getting. For me, it was the right choice to keep myself AND the children I care for safe. 💛

💬 Want to learn more about measles and vaccines? Comment “measles” below, and we’ll send you our helpful vaccine guide (not just for the MMR vaccine) and blog link! 👇✨

Let’s talk about ibuprofen. one of the best options when pain or inflammation just won’t quit. 💪

While acetaminophen (Tylenol) works well for fever and general pain, ibuprofen can be a game-changer when inflammation is involved. think sore throat, body aches, swelling, or even post-workout soreness.

✅ Pro tip: Infant ibuprofen is more concentrated than children’s ibuprofen. so the dosing is different. Always double-check before giving it to your child.
⚠️ And while there isn’t a 100% clean ibuprofen (like in the Genexa line) yet, look for dye-free options to minimize unnecessary ingredients.

Sometimes, the simplest switch can make a world of difference. ❤️
