I feel like I’m constantly researching the best place to have a birthday party, which family-friendly places to eat, or what we can do this upcoming weekend.

I knew I needed to do my research when it came to COVID and my child’s future health. I consulted with their pediatrician and turned to reputable sources to make the best decision for my family.

TALK TO THE EXPERTS

Parents make decisions that are best for their families. A great resource for information is your doctor or child’s pediatrician. Ask questions! The more informed you are, the better!
