I #WearOrange for every life ended too soon because of a gun, for my home of Sandy Hook, for my patients & their families, & for everyone working to fight a public health crisis that is killing our children at alarming rates with no end in sight. #ProtectOurKids #EndGunViolence

Because of gun violence, too many children have missed too many moments. Let’s not miss ours. #EndGunViolence

We're excited to share details of the next #T4CIP Day of Action. On October 26 we'll be talking about #SafeSleep using #ClearTheCrib. Join us for a Twitter chat at 11 a.m. ET and a webinar at 2 p.m. (free but registration required) bit.ly/Clear-The-Crib… AAP Peds Trainees

At last! Hello from your @TheBCRP rising chiefs! So excited to work with this dynamic group of fierce women and welcome amazing, new doctors into our family, let’s go!!!! 🔥🔥🔥#pedsmatch23 #tweetiatrician Sonia Taneja Stephanie Hadley Ayesha Dholakia, MD Dr Dr Dana Neel #pamelachen

A2. #SafeSleep reduces the risk of #SIDS. In a recent study, >72% of deaths had unsafe sleep factors documented. Only 1% were true SUIDs with a completely safe sleep environment. tinyurl.com/px7e23wh #ClearTheCrib

SIDS is the leading cause of death for infants between 1 month and 1 year of age in the U.S. Since the mid-1990's, nearly 4,000 babies have died every year in their sleep. Most of these deaths have been related to unsafe sleep environments. Center for Injury Research and Policy #ClearTheCrib

A4: Remember that telling patients to keep a baby on their back can be easier said than done! Many parents don't have separate rooms for their children or feel strongly that they need to be near their baby. Try discussing room (rather than bed) sharing!

A4: Also, don't assume a parent has the resources. They may truly not have another option - try to never inadvertently guilt them! Unsafe sleep practices can be due to inequities - here are some resources to help you help families. Center for Injury Research and Policy #ClearTheCrib

Use graphics like these as teaching tools! A good reminder to myself that just telling a parent to do it is much less effective than explaining WHY we care so much. >2000 babies die of SIDS each year, and 80% of babies are in unsafe sleep environments.

Sleeping/lounging pods/nests are not safe for sleep, not even supervised sleep. Infants fall asleep in the blink of an eye so it’s best to not use them. Many of these products have been linked to infant deaths. Plz follow the ABCs of safe sleep, your baby’s life depends on it!

A6: Even as a resident, I've already seen multiple babies brought to us in cardiac arrest. Babies who were completely healthy & whose deaths we could've prevented by communicating the risks in a family-centered way. These are the ones I'll never forget. #CleartheCrib Center for Injury Research and Policy

It has been 10 years since 20 children and six educators were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. To learn more about the loved ones taken, visit mysandyhookfamily.org

One million Americans have been shot & 400,000 have been killed by guns since #SandyHook 10 years ago. That is why I am unapologetically fighting for transformative changes to end this public health crisis. #TheTimeIsNow #EndGunViolence

Thing I learned today: a declining ESR (with a rising CRP/ferritin) in a kid w/ suspected sJIA is worrying for MAS because fibrinogen is a major driver of the ESR & it drops in MAS due to consumptive coagulopathy/decreased synthesis due to liver dysfunction. #tilt #Pediatrics

WELCOME to the BCRP family!!! We are so thrilled! 🎉 #pedsmatch2023
