We wish a very happy first birthday to Kane Nash, who was born at 23 weeks weighing just 15 ounces, less than a pound. He was an unexpected blessing as mom Amber didn’t think she could have children after overcoming ovarian cancer. Following a six month stay in the NICU, Kane has defied all odds and is thriving. Our Dr. Lisa McGill-Vargas, neonatologist at Pediatrix® Neonatology of Eastern Washington, cared for Kane together with her team. She and Amber sat down with KHQ Local News to reflect on Kane’s miraculous journey as they celebrate this special milestone. https://brnw.ch/21wLKm8

As you plan for fun in the sun this summer, be sure to practice water safety. While drowning prevention should always be top of mind, it’s also important to recognize the signs of dry drowning, or delayed drowning. When a child experiences a non-fatal drowning incident, they may seem fine afterwards but later suffer serious respiratory symptoms. Our Dr. Todd Zimmerman, pediatric emergency medicine physician and medical director at Pediatrix® Emergency Medicine of Nevada, spoke with Care to discuss signs of delayed drowning and when to seek medical attention >> https://brnw.ch/21wLI3I.

Toddler milk is marketed with claims of improving brain development or immune function, but the American Academy of Pediatrics recently warned that it is "unnecessary and potentially harmful to young children." For healthy toddlers without a specific medical diagnosis, there is no evidence of a need for or benefit from toddler milk. Our Dr. Jenelle Ferry, neonatologist and director of feeding, nutrition and infant development at Pediatrix® Neonatology of Florida, spoke with Fox News about the ideal diet for toddlers after they’re weaned off breast milk or infant formula and when extra nutrition might be needed. https://brnw.ch/21wLI3A
