Moms – Deb Concalves
The health of our children is the top priority of most parents out there, and this doesn’t end when they are out of diapers. It is likely that moms will continue to care about their child’s health when they are all grown into teenagers and beyond.
While teenagers are more independent and are starting to make most of the decisions for themselves, moms may still be concerned with their eating choices.

Increased cases of influenza and RSV infection, primarily affecting young children across the U.S., have prompted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to issue a health alert.
“We have a whole generation of young children who might not have been exposed to RSV,” says Dr. Angela Mattke, a pediatrician with Mayo Clinic’s Children’s Center. “Mask wearing is less common. People are getting together a lot more often. That’s a perfect opportunity for viruses to spread. Kids are back in school, kids are back in day care, and we often see these trends increase, especially when kids return to school.”

We’ve come a long way. In the early 1990s, a friend of mine whose young son had Type 1 diabetes described how she’d chase her toddler around the house trying to give him the multiple shots of insulin he needed each day to survive.

Children’s skin is incredibly sensitive. From the moment they are born, their skin is exposed to environmental factors for the first time. It is not uncommon for newborn babies to have dry skin, baby acne and other rashes that can cause some discomfort. It’s no wonder many moms search for products to protect baby’s skin.
