☀️ The best time of year is finally here — sunshine, pool days, park trips, and all the summer fun! Before your kids head outside, let’s make sure their skin is ready for all those sunny adventures 💛

🌼 Bloom’s Quick Sun Safety Tips for Kids + Infants:

🧴 For children 6 months and older:
• Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30+
• Apply 15 minutes before going outside
• Reapply every 2 hours (and after swimming or sweating)

👶 For babies under 6 months:
• Try to avoid direct sunlight when possible
• Use shade, hats, lightweight clothing, and stroller covers
• Small amounts of sunscreen may be used on tiny exposed areas if shade isn’t available

🕶️ Don’t forget the extras:
✔️ Hats
✔️ Sunglasses
✔️ Water breaks
✔️ Shade during peak sun hours (10 AM–4 PM)

☀️ Mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are often the best choice for sensitive skin and little ones.

🌸 Spring schedules = busy days & tired nights

Between sports, activities, homework, and later bedtimes—spring can feel like a lot for both kids and parents! 😴

How do you keep your days running smoothly and nights a little easier during busy seasons?

A few ideas we often share:
✔️ Keep bedtime and wake-up times as consistent as possible
✔️ Plan simple, quick dinners on busy nights
✔️ Build in a short wind-down routine (even if it’s not perfect!)
✔️ Don’t be afraid to slow things down when needed ♥️

Every family finds their own rhythm—and your tips might help another family too!

Happy Nurses Week to the nurse who keeps Bloom running with caffeine, chaos control, compassion, and a sense of humor that gets us through the day 💙🩺✨

Thank you for always showing up for our patients and families with such a caring heart — and for always being down for a good time while doing it. Whether it’s making kids laugh, keeping the clinic fun, or surviving the daily chaos with us, you make Bloom a happier place to be.

You do SO much more than people see behind the scenes, and we are beyond thankful for everything you do. Honestly… we’d probably survive about 12 minutes without you 😅

Our patients love you, our team appreciates you, and we are lucky to have not only an amazing nurse, but someone who brings so much fun and personality to our clinic every day 💕

💩 Is your child “backed up”? We can help!

Constipation is very common in kids—and it’s not always obvious. Even if your child is having daily bowel movements, they can still be constipated!😬

Watch for:
• Hard or painful stools
•Abdominal pain or bloating
• Straining or large stools
• Holding behaviors or accidents

Helpful tips:
✔️ Encourage lots of water throughout the day
✔️ Offer fiber-rich foods like fruits, veggies, and whole grains
✔️ Keep bathroom time relaxed and routine

If symptoms are sticking around or making your child uncomfortable, give us a call—we’re always here to help!🌸
