🌸 Spring Outdoor Tips for Kids & Parents 🌞

Spring is the perfect time to get outside, get active, and soak up some sunshine! Here are a few quick tips to keep your little ones safe and healthy:

🌿 1. Protect Their Skin
Apply child-safe sunscreen (SPF 30+) before heading out and reapply every 2 hours.

💧 2. Stay Hydrated
Warmer weather = more fluids needed! Encourage water breaks, especially during play.

🏊‍♂️ 3. Water Safety First
Always supervise children near pools, lakes, or splash pads. Use life jackets when appropriate and never rely on floaties alone.

🌼 4. Watch for Allergies
Pollen levels rise in spring—keep an eye out for sneezing, itchy eyes, or congestion.

🦟 5. Bug Bite Prevention
Use kid-friendly insect repellent and avoid heavily wooded or grassy areas at dusk.

🚲 6. Safe Play First
Helmets for biking, supervise playground time, and check equipment for safety.

🌞 7. Sun-Smart Playtime
Try outdoor activities before 10 AM or after 4 PM to avoid peak sun exposure.

🌸 Let’s make this a happy, healthy spring season for your family

💙 Protect Little Lungs This RSV Season 💙

RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) is a common virus that can cause cold like symptoms but can develop into serious breathing problems in infants and young children, especially during fall and winter.

👶 Who is most at risk?
• Babies under 1 year old
• Premature infants
• Children with heart or lung conditions

⚠️ RSV symptoms may include:
• Runny nose
• Cough or wheezing
• Fever
• Trouble breathing and retractions
• Poor feeding in babies

RSV is the most common cause for bronchiolitis and pneumonia in children younger than 1 year old. While most kids recover from RSV, some require hospitalization, due to respiratory distress and possible respiratory failure.

🛡️ RSV Antibody Protection for Infants
There is an RSV antibody available to help protect babies during RSV season.
✔️ Not a vaccine
✔️ Provides ready-made protection
✔️ Especially important during a baby’s first RSV season

📞 Talk to your child’s healthcare provider to see if your baby qualifies.
