💡 What is wastewater surveillance?


Public health experts can test community wastewater (sewage) for viruses like norovirus. Because infected individuals shed the virus in their stool—even before they know they’re sick and after symptoms improve—wastewater monitoring can help identify increased community spread before all cases are reported. Think of it as a “community thermometer” that helps track how much illness is circulating.

Norovirus is highly contagious and can spread rapidly through households, schools, daycares, camps, and other group settings. In fact, it takes only a tiny amount of the virus to cause infection.

Common symptoms include:
🤢 Sudden vomiting
💩 Diarrhea
🤕 Stomach cramps
🤒 Nausea and sometimes fever

Symptoms usually begin 12–48 hours after exposure and last 1–3 days.

💧 The biggest concern for children is dehydration. Contact your healthcare provider if your child is unable to keep fluids down, has decreased urination, significant lethargy, or other signs of dehydration.

🛑 How to Stop the Spread:

✔ Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after using the bathroom and before eating or preparing food.
✔ Remember: Hand sanitizer is NOT as effective against norovirus.
✔ Disinfect contaminated surfaces with a bleach-based cleaner.
✔ Wash soiled clothing and bedding on the longest wash cycle and dry on high heat.
✔ Keep sick children home until they have been symptom-free for at least 48 hours.


Supporting recovery with plenty of fluids, electrolytes, rest, and simple nourishing foods as tolerated can help children recover more comfortably.

Stay healthy and keep washing those hands!

🌻Tick Season Tips From a Pediatric NP + Mom of 6 🌻

Hi friends! My name is Kaylan, and I’m a board-certified pediatric nurse practitioner and a mom to six busy kiddos. We live out in the country, so tick bites are something we encounter pretty frequently around our home. 🕷️🌾

Over the years, I’ve learned a few simple habits that help keep my family safer while still enjoying the outdoors, and I wanted to share them with you! 🤍
✔️ Wear light-colored clothing when outdoors so ticks are easier to spot
✔️ Use natural tick repellents when appropriate
✔️ Tuck pants into socks during hikes or tall grass play
✔️ Do full-body tick checks after outdoor activities
✔️ Shower and change clothes after being outside
✔️ Don’t forget to check hidden areas like behind ears, scalp, armpits, groin, and behind knees

If you DO find a tick:
🩺 Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick close to the skin
🩺 Pull upward steadily without twisting
🩺 Clean the area well with soap and water
🩺 Monitor for fever, rash, fatigue, joint pain, or flu-like symptoms over the next several weeks

📞 Call your healthcare provider if:
• The tick was attached for an extended period of time
• The tick appears engorged
• A rash or symptoms develop
• You live in or traveled to an area with Lyme disease risk

Ticks can sound scary, but with prevention and early awareness, most bites can be managed safely. We hope these tips help your family enjoy the outdoors with a little more confidence this season! ☀️

There’s something special about growing your own food 🌱💚


🩺One of our amazing NPs, Kaylan, has been spending time tending her summer garden — growing fresh vegetables, herbs, and nourishing foods right at home! Gardening is such a wonderful way to connect kids with nature, encourage healthy eating habits, and enjoy foods rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

🫑🌶️Whenever possible, choosing homegrown or pesticide-free produce can help reduce exposure to unnecessary chemicals while supporting a healthier gut and overall wellness. Plus, fiber-rich foods help support digestion, immunity, and growing bodies!


We’d love to hear from our families:
🌿 What are you growing this summer?
🍅 Any favorite garden veggies or herbs your kids love?

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. ❤️🤍💙

At Integrative Pediatrics, we are deeply grateful for the sacrifices made by military families—past and present. As we enjoy time with loved ones this Memorial Day, may we also take a moment to reflect on the courage, service, and freedom we often take for granted.

Wishing your family a safe, meaningful, and peaceful Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

☀️When choosing a “non-toxic” sunscreen for kids, the biggest things to look for are mineral-based protection, zinc oxide as the active ingredient, fragrance-free formulas, and avoiding ingredients like oxybenzone, octinoxate, homosalate, and octocrylene. Mineral sunscreens are generally preferred for sensitive pediatric skin because they sit on top of the skin rather than being absorbed.


‼️Great options that we love: Blue Lizard, Think Baby Clear Zinc, Blue Lizard Sensitive, ThinkSport Kids all Mineral Spray!


👏🏼👏🏼Research what is best for your child + pay attention to ingredients!

Tiny babies, chunky thighs,
Every shape is a sweet surprise 💛


🤍From 5th percentile to 95th,
Healthy comes in every size alive.

🩺As pediatric providers, here’s what we truly see:
It’s not the number — it’s consistency.
A baby following their own curve with steady gain,
Is usually growing beautifully just the same
Typical infant weight gain:
👶 0–4 months: ~25–35 grams/day
👶 4–8 months: ~15–20 grams/day
👶 8–12 months: ~10–15 grams/day
Some babies are squishy, some babies are slim,
And neither tells us how loved they’ve been.
So whether your little one is petite or “Chucky” strong,
There’s room for every baby to happily belong 🤍
We love the rolls, the cheeks, the tiny skinny legs too —
Healthy growth looks different for each little you.

👋🏼Hi, I am Kaylan and I have been a nurse for 16 years, with the last 10 years spent in the pediatric ER and urgent care setting. For the past 8 years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a pediatric nurse practitioner, and I’m incredibly grateful that the Lord has led me to Integrative Pediatrics—where I can care for children in a more whole and personalized way.
I earned my doctorate from the University of Tennessee, and I continue to feel honored every day to do work that truly fills my heart.


🤍Outside of work, I’m a wife of 16 years and a mom to SIX amazing children—three boys and three girls, ranging from 15 years old down to my youngest who just turned one. Life is full, busy, and beautifully chaotic.
Being a mom has deepened my love for what I do. I truly care for each of my patients as if they were my own, and it’s a privilege to walk alongside families in their health journeys.
In the rare moments of “free time” (what even is that?), I enjoy reading, being outdoors, crafting (cross-stitch, crocheting, sewing), and recently started a garden—I’m so excited to grow our own fruits and vegetables this year!

🧩I am truly honored to be able to care for your sweet children and thank you for trusting me with their health and wellness! Happy Nurses Week to all the incredible nurses who give so much of themselves every single day. 💙

🌷Happy Mother’s Day to every kind of mom🌷

🤍To the new moms running on little sleep, the seasoned moms juggling all the things, the single moms, bonus moms, adoptive moms, foster moms, grieving moms, waiting-to-be moms, and the grandmothers who continue to nurture generations with love — today, we celebrate you.

🤍At every stage, motherhood carries both beauty and sacrifice. The care you give, the comfort you provide, the appointments you make, the late nights, the worry, the patience, and the unconditional love matter more than words can say.

🤍🧩From all of us at Integrative Pediatrics, thank you for the countless ways you care for your children and families every single day. We are honored to walk alongside you in your journey toward raising healthy, thriving children — mind, body, and spirit.

Wishing you a day filled with love, rest, and feeling deeply appreciated. 🌷

🧩Happy Nurses Week! I’m Mary Claire Harlow, a pediatric nurse practitioner who has always known my heart was in caring for children. From an early age, I felt called to work with pediatric patients, and that passion has only grown over time. I truly find joy in the care I provide and in building relationships with the families I serve.


🤍I grew up in the Mississippi Delta, and that small-town upbringing shaped who I am in so many ways. While life has since brought me to Tennessee, I’ll always be Mississippi at heart (go Bulldogs!). Pediatrics is more than a job to me..it’s a vocation, and I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to do this work every day.

🤍Outside of work, I love Mediterranean-style food, spending time with my family, and being a mom. I have 1 middle schooler and 1 elementary aged child, a husband and a shipoo. Life is BUSY but abundant. We appreciate the families that trust us to provide the best service at Integrative Pediatrics.
