The LA fires and other crises and tragedies in the news can be traumatic for children to watch and hear. Here's how you can talk to your kids about these incidents and help them cope with distressing news. 📰
"No matter what age or developmental stage your child is, you can start by asking what they've already heard. Most children will have heard something, no matter how old they are. After you ask them what they've heard, ask what questions they have and how they feel about what's happened.
Older children, teens, and young adults might ask more questions. They may ask for and benefit more from additional information. But no matter what age your child is, it's best to keep the dialogue straightforward and direct."

It can take a few months to learn this, but in the meantime, many newborns experience day-night confusion. They might sleep all day and stay up all night. 💤
Here are a few tips to help resolve the day-night confusion for newborns! 👶 ... See MoreSee Less

January is National Birth Defects Awareness and Prevention Month. While not all birth defects are preventable, careful planning before and during pregnancy can help reduce risks. Check out these 5 tips for a healthy pregnancy! 🤰
"Consume 400 micrograms (mcg) of folic acid per day, starting at least one month before becoming pregnant and continuing throughout the pregnancy. This helps prevent serious defects in the baby's brain and spine.
Some foods are fortified or enriched with folic acid. But the simplest way to make sure you get enough is to take a vitamin that has folic acid every day."

As a reminder for the new year, make sure to change the batteries of your carbon monoxide detector every 6 months. 🔋 If you haven't already, install at least one detector on each floor of your home.
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that can affect the ability of the blood to transport oxygen. Children are more at risk of danger as they breathe faster and inhale more carbon monoxide per pound of body weight. 💨
We recommend checking out these tips to protect your home from carbon monoxide.👇
