5 Ideas to Help Your Child Adjust to a New Baby thumbnail

Expecting another baby?  You're probably thrilled, but sometimes older siblings...aren't.  Here some ideas to make the transition easier!  1. If you have a younger child, reading books about welcoming a new baby can help them warm up to the idea. 2. Keep other big changes to a minimum. Avoid things like toilet training, moving into a new bed, or starting daycare at the same time as baby's arrival.  3. Involve siblings in planning for baby's arrival, like picking out a special blanket, outfit, toy, or nursery … [Read more...] about 5 Ideas to Help Your Child Adjust to a New Baby

Safe OTC Medications During Pregnancy

Safe OTC Medications During Pregnancy thumbnail

Which OTC Medications Are Safe During Pregnancy? We hear this question all the time, and with good reason. It's important for your baby's health and development to know which common medications are safe during pregnancy (and which ones to avoid). But to be safe, always consult with your doctor or pharmacist first! Pain Relief: Aches and pains are par for the course, but you don't have to suffer. Stick with Acetaminophen (Tylenol). Allergies: Antihistamines like Claritin and Zyrtec are safe to use as needed.  Colds: A saline … [Read more...] about Safe OTC Medications During Pregnancy

Headaches, body aches, sciatica — oh, my! Preg Headaches, body aches, sciatica — oh, my! 

Pregnancy can come with a lot of aches and pains — but the ONLY approved pain medication is Tylenol (or generic acetaminophen). 💊

That's right — ibuprofen, naproxen, and aspirin are all no-nos.

Still, it's a good idea to find natural relief from pain whenever possible. Here are some things you can try:

💆🏻♀️ Prenatal massage (with a licensed pro)
🧘♀️ Prenatal yoga
🙆♀️ Stretching
🧊 Warm or cold compress
♨️ Heating pad

You should even exercise caution with essential oils and chiropractic care. They aren't for everyone, so always consult your doctor first.
