The Benefits of Breastfeeding

Vitamin D

We Washingtonians try to soak up every minute of sun exposure we can get before the rain comes back! The natural rays of the sun can have some amazing health benefits, but like everything, make sure you enjoy in moderation. Try to avoid being in the sun from 10am-4pm when the rays are the strongest.

Rashes

One of the most common calls I receive as a Pediatric Triage Nurse is parents calling wanting to know about rashes. Rashes are very common in kids and are most often are caused by harmless viruses. However, it's always good to have a basic knowledge of rashes, just to make sure you aren't missing anything dangerous. Here is a great website with wonderful descriptions and pictures.
