Choosing the right kind of pacifier is important, especially for breastfeeding babies. If you choose to use a pacifier, it's best to wait until breastfeeding is well-established to help lower the chance of breastfeeding problems.

Pacifiers are helpful to comfort or soothe your baby, decrease their risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), and help some babies in need of suck or tongue training. Check out these pacifier tips & feel free to ask about our lactation consultation services or talk with your pediatrician for more help!

Hi, it’s Melody the Dietitian! Chocolate milk seems to be one of those controversial foods I get asked about a lot. Is it healthy or not healthy? Should I let my kids drink it?

With back-to-school on the horizon, it's a good idea to start helping your kids transition back to their school schedules. Start early, be consistent, and give your kids at least 2 weeks before school starts so they (& you) have enough time to adjust. Here are some tips:

🌞 Adjust wake-up times in the morning by 10-15 minutes earlier every few days. This helps kids' bodies adjust gradually & more naturally.

🌙 Shift bedtime earlier by 10-15 minutes every few nights as well. Combined with waking up earlier, they should be tired sooner.

📖 Re-establish bedtime routines. Bath time, book time, or quiet time before bed helps create a relaxing and predictable routine to signal to your child's body that it's time to sleep.

📱 Limit screen time. Turn off TV, phones, tablets at least 1 hour before bedtime. Blue light emitted from devices can interfere with sleep.

🛏️ Optimize their sleep environment. Dark, quiet, and cool bedrooms lead to more restful sleep.
