It’s that time of year…time for runny noses, coughs, and fevers. Right now in our area we have a pertussis/whooping cough outbreak, RSV, and Influenza A.

In Washington, we’ve had over 1,000 cases of whooping cough this year. As a comparison, we had around 50 by this time last year. The symptoms of whooping cough looks a bit different in older kids and adults and often does not have the hallmark whoop. A fever, followed by a runny nose, and then a cough developing and lasting several weeks could be whooping cough. This is most dangerous for infants which aren’t fully protected, even when fully vaccinated.

A persistent cough can also be from RSV. RSV can be very serious for infants, especially premature ones. This can often start out looking very similar to whooping cough but typically doesn’t have the coughing fits like whooping cough.

And then we have good 'ol influenza/flu. The flu can be with or without GI symptoms (like vomiting). It usually starts with a pretty decently high fever and has cold symptoms along with body aches and fatigue.

It's time to load up on that Vitamin D, zinc, elderberry, Vitamin C, and Vitamin A!

“We and others have shown that these nanoplastics can be internalized into cells and we know that nanoplastics carry all kinds of chemical additives that could cause cell stress, DNA damage and change metabolism or cell function.”

Scientists long figured there were lots of these microscopic plastic pieces, but until researchers at Columbia and Rutgers universities did their calculations they never knew how many or what kind.

How to safely bed share.

In the La Leche League International publication Sweet Sleep: Nighttime and Naptime Strategies for the Breastfeeding Family, the authors explain how and why many breastfeeding mothers can bedshare responsibly. The heart of this book is the “Safe Sleep Seven” – seven criteria that create that level of safety. These clear criteria offer reassurance to many mothers and parents and give them a way to evaluate the risk in their own situation. Preparing your bed for bedsharing – whether you plan to bedshare or not – is your first childproofing job because sleep happens, starting on Night One.
