“Screen Health 101: Healthy Screen Use Tips For Our Kids” by Jeremy Edge, LPC with ESCAPINGTHE.COM
Managing screen use for our children can be hard. Luckily, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has some great recommendations for promoting healthy screen use. They recommend children 18 months and younger to not have exposure to screens other than video-chatting.
“Calling All Athletes… It is Time for Your Sports Physical” by Robyn Lilly, CPNP-PC
Spring is in the air! Only a few more months of the school year remain for many students. It is an exciting time to anticipate summer and its laid-back routines. One thing to consider for your junior high, high school kids, and athletes, is a wellness exam and a pre-participation sports physical for next school year. Spring and Summer are great times to have both exams done so your child is ready for athletics in the Fall.
“Pediatrics: 20th Century Success” by Chafen Watkins Hart, MD
During nights up with small sick children, I think most often about the terror of diphtheria, a bacteria which causes a thick covering of pus and mucous membrane to the throat and killed children in the millions.

“Old-Fashioned Parenting Books” by Chafen Watkins Hart, MD
I recently picked up the volume on child development published in Childcraft books, copyright 1949. My mother had saved these from her childhood, and I had never realized they included an entire volume about the intricacies of child development.

The Milk Bank Tour by Ame Odom, LVC, IBCLC
I would like to open by first saying that I feel like the ability to provide extra breast milk and the choice to donate your milk at any capacity is an incredible feat and a selfless gift that is a very personal choice. I was not ever able to produce extra milk to donate with either of my breastfeeding journeys, so I can totally relate to most of us moms who are just able to provide enough for their baby’s needs, or even need to supplement due to a low supply or other complication.
