Having Trouble Getting Infant Formula?
You may be having trouble finding formula due to recent recalls of certain lots of Similac formula and supply chain disruptions . All the formulas sold commercially in stores in the U.S.meet minimum FDA requirements. If you need help deciding on what brand to buy or finding product please give us a call. Whatever you do, please do NOT attempt to make your own formula. This is very dangerous and could make your baby sick. Here is a great
article from the AAP
about the formula shortage.

Mental Health Awareness Month
|
|
|
May is Mental Health Awareness Month! According to the CDC (Center for Disease Control), it is estimated that as many as 1 out of 5 children experience a mental disorder in a given year. Has your child/teen been more stressed this month? With MAP testing, KPREP, final exams, graduations – kids tend to put more pressure on themselves. Anxiety may look like fear or worry, but can also make children irritable and angry. Anxiety symptoms can also include trouble sleeping, as well as physical symptoms like fatigue, headaches, or stomachaches. It’s normal to feel an increase level in anxiety in the last couple of weeks of school. With the school year coming to an end, help your child/teen take mental breaks from the stress.

PANK Blog: Fostering Resiliency in Children
It is often said that ‘children are resilient’, and this is true, but what is not typically discussed are the factors that contribute to resilience. Simply put, resiliency is the ability to bounce back, manage adversity, and heal and learn from stressors. Phillip A. Fisher from the University of Oregon Social Learning Center describes resilience as “The counter balancing of difficult things that may exist in a child’s life with the positive things that occur within the family and even positive things that may exist in the community.” Positive interactions at home, school, and in the community help children to build confidence, feel in control, reduce stress, improve self-regulation, and develop prosocial character traits.
