🍦 Happy National Ice Cream Day! 🍦
Yes, you read that headline correctly: your pediatrician is giving you the green light to go grab a scoop today! While we always advocate for a balanced diet, we also advocate for childhood joy, making memories, and... believe it or not, developmental milestones!
A Quick Safety Note:
🍦 For babies under 1 year, skip the ice cream (their digestive systems aren't ready for cow's milk or heavy sugars yet, and honey-flavored ice cream is a strict no-go).
🍦 For kids with dairy sensitivities, there are so many amazing oat, coconut, and fruit-based sorbet options available now so no one misses out on the fun!
Go enjoy a scoop today, make some messy memories, and tell them Dr. Sunallah said it’s for "developmental practice!" 😉
What is your family’s absolute favorite ice cream flavor?
