Remember when fun didn’t need Wi-Fi?
Unplug and reconnect with creativity, curiosity, and the world around you.

🎨 Paint colorful rocks or make homemade Play-Doh.
🌳 Go on a backyard scavenger hunt.
🎵 Write a story, make up songs, or host a spelling bee.
🍪 Bake cookies, build Lego cities, or invent your own board game.

Screens can wait — memories like these can’t.

Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is a mild illness caused by viruses, most often coxsackievirus A16. It’s common in young children, but anyone can get it.

Symptoms include sores in the mouth and a rash on the hands and feet. The illness usually clears in 7 to 10 days. There’s no specific treatment, but medicines can ease pain and discomfort.

Prevent hand-foot-and-mouth disease by washing your hands often and avoiding close contact with people who are sick.

Sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS, is the leading cause of death for infants between 1 month and 1 year of age.

While SIDS occurs in fewer than 1 out of every 1,000 births, the risk during the first year of life is more than 20 times higher than during any later year of childhood. Most cases occur before 6 months of age and are more common in day care settings than at home.

Research has helped identify risk factors and led to prevention strategies focused on safe sleep and caregiver awareness. These changes have reduced — but not eliminated — infant deaths from SIDS.
