Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms, grandmothers, guardians, and mother figures in our community. 💐

Today we celebrate the love, strength, patience, and sacrifices you give every single day , often quietly and without recognition. From sleepless newborn nights to cheering on growing children through every stage, your care shapes lives in the most meaningful ways.

We also recognize that Mother’s Day can bring mixed emotions for some families , including those missing a mother, grieving a child, facing infertility, navigating illness, or carrying unseen struggles. Please know we are holding space for you today as well.

It is a privilege to care for your children and to witness the dedication and love you pour into them each day. Wishing you moments of peace, appreciation, and love today and always.

Stomach bug going around? Here’s what parents need to know 🤢💧

Gastroenteritis (a “stomach virus”) is very common in children and usually causes:
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Stomach cramps
• Low-grade fever

💡 Most important treatment = HYDRATION
Small, frequent sips work best!
✔️ Oral rehydration (Pedialyte)
✔️ Breastmilk or formula for infants
✔️ Avoid sugary drinks (can worsen diarrhea)

🍽️ Once vomiting improves, slowly reintroduce foods:
Bananas • Rice • Applesauce • Toast (simple + gentle)

🚨 Call your pediatrician if:
• No urine for 8+ hours (or fewer wet diapers)
• Dry mouth, no tears, very sleepy
• Persistent vomiting or blood in stool
• High fever or symptoms lasting >3 days

🧼 Prevention tip: Handwashing is key—these viruses spread easily!

Most kids recover in a few days, but staying ahead of dehydration makes all the difference 💙

I discuss how milk requirements evolve as children grow, explaining why whole milk is important after age one for brain development, when to transition to 2% milk at age two, and the recommended daily amounts—16 ounces for toddlers and 12 ounces by age four. I emphasize that too much milk can displace iron-rich foods, so balanced nutrition is key.
