If healthy eating has been feeling complicated lately, this is your shortcut.

Start with what’s in season.

June is one of the best months for fresh produce…think berries, cherries, melons, and tomatoes that make meals easier, more flavorful, and often more affordable.

In the early days, it can be difficult for new parents to tell whether their baby is feeding effectively. Immediately after birth, diaper counts and stool color can give us important clues about how feeding is going. Once colostrum becomes transitional (and later mature) milk, there are three key things we look for in newborns: diaper output, audible swallowing, and visible swallowing.

Around 44% of children and 77% of teens don’t get enough sleep for their age. Getting enough sleep helps kids and teens focus, do better in school and manage their behavior and emotions. Here’s what parents can do to support healthy sleep:

1. Create a comfortable, quiet sleep spot that’s dark, cool and screen-free.

2. Create a sleep routine and stick to it. Going to bed and waking up at the same time everyday helps regulate the body’s internal clock.

3. Avoid caffeine, spicy foods and screens for a few hours before bed.

The AAP recommends swim lessons as a layer of protection against drowning. Many kids will be ready to start lessons at age one. Here are a few things to keep in mind while choosing a program:

1. Are the instructors trained and certified through a nationally recognized learn-to-swim curriculum? Are there lifeguards on duty who have current CPR and First Aid certifications?

2. Do they teach good safety habits in, on and near water?

3. Do they teach your child what to do if they end up in the water unexpectedly?

4. Do they offer adapted aquatics for children with special health needs and developmental disabilities?

Iodine is an essential mineral during all stages of life! ❤️ Iodine supports the thyroid by producing hormones necessary to regulate metabolism, heart rate, and body temperature. 🌡️

Iodine is also important during pregnancy! Regular iodine intake helps form the cerebral cortex, neural pathways, and hippocampus, helping your baby’s cognitive development! 🧠

The body cannot store iodine for long periods of time, so try to incorporate iodine regularly into your diet! Dairy, seaweed, and seafood are all plentiful sources of iodine. 🐟
