  • An interview with the most influential person that shaped my experience at Winnie Palmer Hospital: My labor nurse

    Winnie Palmer Hospital is a special place to me because it is where both of my children were born. In December of 2009, my husband and I welcomed a beautiful baby girl.

  • Why codeine isn’t a good medicine for your child

    We never really plan a trip to the emergency room. We don’t anticipate our children falling off their bicycles and breaking their arms or our babies waking up screaming in pain in the middle of the night. But, it happens sometimes. And when it happens to you (like it does to every parent at some point or another), here’s something important you should know.

    Medicines containing codeine aren’t the best option for your child.

    Codeine is an opioid medication that has been used in children and adults to relieve mild to moderate pain and also to help relieve coughing. You may have seen it in the form of Tylenol with codeine, Tylenol #3, Robitussin AC, Guiatuss AC and many other combinations. For a more complete list of brand-name products, check here.

The 2014 summer vacation stretches on from June to August for TEN WEEKS. It’s wonderful for the kids, but for me it means TEN weeks that my husband and I have to arrange to take time off of work, beg family to come babysit, and find suitable summer camp options for our son to attend. My husband and I both work full time, so neither of us are available to be home everyday. It’s not easy.
