🚗✨ Car Seat Safety Tips for Holiday Travel ✨🚗

At FBL Physicians, your family’s safety is our top priority! With holiday travel in full swing, it’s essential to ensure your little ones are safe and secure during every car ride. Here are some tips to keep your children protected:

1️⃣ Choose the Right Seat
• Rear-Facing Seats: For infants and toddlers until at least age 2 or until they outgrow the seat’s weight and height limits.
• Forward-Facing Seats: For older toddlers with a harness until they reach the seat’s limits.
• Booster Seats: For kids who outgrow forward-facing seats until a seatbelt fits correctly (usually around age 8–12).

2️⃣ Ensure Proper Installation
• Follow the car seat manufacturer’s instructions and your vehicle’s manual.
• The seat should not move more than 1 inch when pulled at the base.
• If in doubt, visit a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician for a free check.

3️⃣ Dress Safely
• Avoid bulky coats or clothing. These can prevent the harness from fitting snugly.
• Use blankets over the harness for warmth if needed.

4️⃣ Secure the Harness Properly
• The harness should lie flat and snug against your child’s body.
• The chest clip should be at armpit level.

5️⃣ Check the Expiration Date
• Car seats expire after 6–10 years. Always check the label for the expiration date to ensure safety.

Bonus Tips for Holiday Travel:
• Plan extra stops to give your little ones a break from sitting.
• Keep snacks, water, and toys within reach to keep kids entertained and comfortable.

🎄 From our family at FBL Physicians to yours, we wish you safe travels and a joyful holiday season! If you have any questions about car seat safety or your child’s health, give us a call or schedule an appointment.

Stay safe, stay healthy, and enjoy the holidays! ❤️

🌸 November is Preemie Awareness Month 🌸

At FBL Physicians, we want to honor and raise awareness for the strength of preemies and their families. Premature birth, which happens before 37 weeks of pregnancy, affects about 1 in 10 babies in the United States. 💜

Here are some facts to keep in mind this month:

• Survival rates have greatly improved with advances in neonatal care, but preemies still face unique health challenges that often require special care.
• Developmental milestones for preemies may differ from full-term babies, with many reaching milestones on their own timeline as they grow.

Let’s celebrate the resilience of these little fighters and show our support for families impacted by premature birth. 💜

🎃 As we celebrate Halloween, let’s remember that some things are scarier than ghosts and goblins — like ignoring our health! 🎃

As Breast Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, FBL Physicians wants to remind everyone that early detection saves lives. Make time for regular self-exams and schedule your mammogram if you’re due. Together, we can make breast cancer less frightening for everyone.

Stay safe, enjoy your Halloween treats, and remember: a healthy body is the best treat of all! 💖🎀

❓❓ Did You Know ❓❓

🛑 1 in 8 women, or approximately 13% of the female population in the U.S., will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.1

🛑 Breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, except for skin cancers.1

🛑 It is estimated that in 2024, approximately 30% of all new female cancer diagnoses will be breast cancer.

The early detection of breast cancer through annual mammography and other breast exams is the best defense against receiving a late-stage breast cancer diagnosis. Give us a call to schedule your breast exam today!
