This week’s podcast episode is all about fevers and illness after NICU! (Cue the tears.) As we enter into what is formally known as cold and flu season, we wanted to have a conversation with a pediatrician who can help us understand some truths and misconceptions about illness. We are so excited to have this conversation with Dr. Jess Daigle of @momandme_md ! Not only is Dr. Jess a board certified pediatrician, but she is also a NICU mom herself and comes to this conversation with empathy for NICU families that find themselves dreading this time of year.
 In this episode we cover: • Information that can empower NICU parents to feel more confident to navigate the top common illnesses • How to “think like a doctor” when it comes to illness and communicating your child’s symptoms to your pediatrician • The basics of fevers and what is considered safe and when we should seek out additional care • Encouragement for parents trying to strike a balance between engaging in the world, outings, social activities, etc. AND feeling like they are doing whatever they can to protect their kids • How to combat mom guilt when our kids to get sick
 We hope any NICU parent feeling overwhelmed or anxious about cold and flu season find hope and practical wisdom throughout this episode. You can do this! 💕 To listen to the episode, head to the link in our bio or find the podcast on iTunes, Spotify, and Google! #dearnicumama #dearnicumamapodcast
