🛡️ Protect your baby from RSV this season — ask about Beyfortus!

RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) is the #1 cause of hospitalization in U.S. babies. The good news? There's a simple way to help protect your little one. 👶

What is Beyfortus?�Beyfortus (nirsevimab) is a single shot that gives your baby ready-made antibodies to fight off RSV. It's not a vaccine — it delivers protection right away, instead of waiting for your baby's immune system to build its own. 💪

Why should my baby get it?�✅ Cuts the risk of RSV hospitalization by about 80%�✅ Lowers the chance of a serious ICU stay by about 90%�✅ Just ONE shot = protection for the whole RSV season (about 5 months)�✅ Recommended for ALL babies under 8 months entering their first RSV season

When should my baby get it?�🗓️ Right before or during RSV season (usually October–March)�🏥 Newborns can get it in the hospital shortly after birth�💉 It can be given at the same time as your baby's routine vaccines

Good to know: If you received the RSV vaccine during pregnancy, your baby may already be protected — talk to us about what's best for your family.
Side effects are usually mild, like a little rash or soreness where the shot was given.

Have questions? 📞 Reach out to me or our office— we're happy to help you protect your baby this RSV season and as always I am happy to help via this page.

If you have a baby now and are seeing me in the office you may hear me mention this. If you don't see me you need to ask your pediatrician about getting it in the coming weeks! RSV can be scary but this will help you be best prepared if it comes 😊

Our winner this week learned his Bible verse and picked Walmart for his gift card! Parents it is your time again to brag on your children! We had a weekend in St. Louis watching our dog, Troutt, run in the UKC Grand and making memories. I am proud of my girls for going and letting me do something I enjoy before letting them pick their activities!

Just this week I have seen many new families decline potential life saving care for their newborns. It has been weighing heavy on me so I wanted to share this with what I think are the common misconceptions and the reasons we do what we do.

As always reach out to the person who is taking care of your newborn before you decline things that someone on the internet said you should. I'll go out on a limb and say the person making those claims is not a physician ‼️‼️
