🤱 Breastfeeding: Tips for a Healthy Start 🩺

Breastfeeding is one of the best gifts you can give your little one—it’s natural nutrition, immune support, and bonding all in one. Here are a few tips to make the journey smoother:

✨ Start early – If possible, begin within the first hour after birth.
✨ Exclusive feeding – Breast milk alone is recommended for the first 6 months.
✨ Check the latch – Baby’s mouth should cover more than just the ni**le to avoid soreness and ensure proper milk transfer.
✨ Watch the diapers – By day 5, at least 6 wet diapers and 3–4 yellow stools daily usually mean baby is feeding well.
✨ Take care of yourself – Stay hydrated, eat well, and rest when you can—your health supports your baby’s health.

Every family’s feeding journey is unique, and it’s okay to ask for help. 💛 Our team is here to support you every step of the way!

🌙 Screen Time Before Bed: How It Affects Sleep
Too much screen time before bed can mess with your child’s internal clock! 😴 The blue light from tablets and TVs can trick the brain into thinking it’s still daytime, making it harder for kids to fall asleep. 📱💤
Try swapping screens for a bedtime story or calming music an hour before bed. Sweet dreams start with healthy habits! 🌌✨

🥦 Back-to-School Lunch Goals!

A healthy lunch fuels your child’s body and brain for a successful school day — and veggies are a big part of the equation! 🥕

Mix it up with:
✅ Colorful veggie sticks (carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers) with hummus or yogurt dip
✅ Mini wraps with lean protein, cheese, and spinach
✅ Fun bento boxes with bite-sized fruits, veggies, and whole grains

Tip: Let your child help choose and pack their veggies — they’re more likely to eat what they helped prepare! 🍱

🧸 Toy Safety Matters!
Before playtime begins, make sure toys are age-appropriate, free of small parts (for little ones), and in good condition. Broken or recalled toys can pose serious risks.

✅ Check labels
✅ Supervise play
✅ Store toys safely

Safe toys = happy kids! 🎉

🚗👶 Car Seat Safety Matters!
Did you know that properly installed car seats can reduce the risk of injury by up to 71% in infants and 54% in toddlers?

✅ Always check the charness fit
✅ Keep kids rear-facing until at least 2 years of age
✅ Never skip the chest clip!

Let’s keep our little passengers safe—every ride, every time. 💛

☁️🌞 Sunscreen isn’t just for sunny days!
Up to 80% of UV rays can pass through clouds—meaning your child’s skin still needs protection, even when it’s overcast.

🧴 Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every morning, and reapply every 2 hours if they’re outside!

Let’s keep those little cheeks sun-safe all summer long! 🧡
