You have probably heard your pediatrician say that a fever in your newborn baby is considered a medical emergency. Any baby who is less than 60 days old and spikes a fever (temperatures of 100.4°F/38°C or higher) should be brought into the emergency department for further evaluation. This is because the younger your baby is, the higher the chance of fever being a sign of a serious bacterial infection. Here’s what you need to know.

Do you worry that you’re repeating the same mealtime mistakes your parents made?

Maybe it’s the memory of “cleaning your plate,” battles over broccoli, or another food struggle from your childhood. Did you know that we carry these experiences forward? Our relationship with food can shape how we approach meals with our own kids.

Here’s the good news: you have the power to rewrite the script!
Instead of focusing on empty plates, let’s focus on trying new things and enjoying the meal together. Set the goal of having fun with food exploration and conversation rather than stressing over every bite.

💚You might be surprised – removing the pressure can actually help kids feel more adventurous with food! Every meal is a fresh opportunity to embrace your unique parenting journey. Remember, it’s about progress, not perfection! 🌱
