🎥 Attention everyone! If you've heard of someone battling a stomach bug, it might just be the notorious norovirus! 😷

This virus is extremely contagious, spreading like wildfire through contaminated surfaces and close contact. Symptoms to watch for? Think nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and cramping—definitely not a pleasant combination! 🤢

Here’s the reality check: that bottle of hand sanitizer isn’t going to cut it against norovirus. 🧴 It’s far more effective to grab some good old soap and water, scrubbing for a solid 20 seconds! Yes, you heard that right—get those hands clean! 👐

Want to safeguard yourself and your loved ones? Follow these essential tips:

1. **Wash Your Hands Regularly!** 🧼 Make it a routine—especially before eating or after using the restroom.

2. **Disinfect Surfaces Often.** 🧽 Don’t forget to clean high-touch areas like doorknobs, light switches, and countertops—banish those germs!

3. **Stay Home If You're Sick.** 🏠 It’s imperative—doing so not only helps you recover faster but also keeps others safe.

Being proactive is key to keeping this virus at bay. Together, we can maintain our health and wellness! 💪💚

Spread the word and share these important tips with your friends and family!



Let’s keep each other safe out there! 💥

Kids First Family,

Big news-our family just got a little bigger (and a lot cuter)! We're excited to welcome Liam Michael into the world on September 19, 2025. Baby arrived happy, healthy, and already keeping us on our toes.
We're all doing well and adjusting to life with our tiny new boss. Thank you for all the support and kind wishes you've shared - it truly means so much.
Warm hugs (and lots of coffee), Amanda

🌟Listen up mamas because I've got the latest scoop on safe sleep guidelines straight from the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics)! 🛌💤

Stop scrolling and pay attention to these 5 crucial tips for keeping your baby safe during bedtime:

1️⃣ Always place your baby on a firm, flat surface with no incline greater than 10 degrees. Safety first!

2️⃣ Room sharing is a YES, but bed-sharing and same surface sharing are a BIG NO-NO. Keep your baby close, but not too close.

3️⃣ Say NO to anything weighted! Don't use weighted blankets, swaddles, or anything that claims to be weighted. Keep it light and simple for your little one.

4️⃣ Keep the sleep area clear of any loose objects or toys. A clutter-free zone means a safer sleeping environment.

5️⃣ Forget about heart rate monitors! They haven't been proven to prevent SIDS, can cause unnecessary stress, and might give a false sense of security on unsafe surfaces.

Remember, a good night's sleep starts with following these guidelines. Stay informed, stay safe! 🌙💕

Hey there, mama! 😊 If you're feeling unsure about using a pacifier with your breastfed newborn, don't worry - you're not alone! It's totally okay to introduce a pacifier once breastfeeding is well established. Some babies are ready within a few days, while others may take up to a month. 🍼

Remember, pacifiers can be a great way to soothe a fussy baby and provide comfort. Plus, did you know they can also help reduce the risk of SIDS? 😇 So feel confident in giving your little one a pacifier when needed.



Keep up the amazing work, mama! You're doing great! 💕

Hey there, wonderful parents and incredible kiddos! 🌈 Does your little one have some jitters about their upcoming mental health therapy session? Don't worry, it's totally normal to feel that way! But guess what? Everything is going to be absolutely amazing! 🌟

Therapy is a special place where your child can express their emotions and learn new skills. The first visit is all about building trust, setting goals, and getting comfortable. 🌺 Think of the therapist as a supportive coach, there to guide and uplift your child at every turn.

During the session, we'll discuss what's going well, what challenges they may be facing, and what skills they want to develop. It's a team effort between the child, parents, and therapist to make therapy a success. 💖

So there's no need to worry, this is a positive step toward growth and healing! Let's embark on this journey together! 💪❤
