To be able to identify a reading problem in their child, parents need to have a sense of the milestones of early literacy. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s literacy development, talk with your child’s doctor, teacher, or a speech and language specialist. The sooner your child gets the help they need, the easier it will be for your child to learn.

Your teens may think that they don’t need you anymore, but they’ll always need their teeth! During adolescence, we want to be sure that children continue effective oral hygiene habits such as:

🦷 Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
😁 Flossing
👩🏻‍⚕️ Seeing a dentist
🍎 Eating a healthy diet that is low in sugar
💧 Drinking water with fluoride.

They will thank you for setting the foundation for good oral health by modeling best practices, having your child see a dentist regularly, and making sure he had all of the needed preventive treatments, such as sealants, fluoride applications, orthodontics, and fillings, when needed.

04/23/2026

Breastfeeding Aversion Response (BAR) is a feeling of aversion that occurs during the entire duration that the child is latched (translation: mothers report that breastfeeding is exhausting or sickening, or that they feel “touched out,” angry, anxious, violated, guilty, or disconnected). This feeling is different from Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex (D-MER), which involves sudden, intense negative emotions during the milk letdown. For D-MER, negative feelings only occur during letdown and the Breastfeeding Aversion Response occurs during the entire breastfeeding session.

A recent study reported the results of a survey of over 5,000 women in Australia and found that one in five women reported Breastfeeding Aversion Response. Most women (96%) who experienced breastfeeding aversion also reported challenges with breastfeeding. Yet, 82.5% of women who experience Breastfeeding Aversion Response indicated that their overall breastfeeding experience was positive (rating it as “good” or “very good”).
