We are looking to recruit a couple of families to participate in a study about the relationship between sleep and screen device use among teens.

To be eligible, the teen must be between the ages of 12-15 years old and have problems with sleep and screen time use. Read below for more information and scan the QR if interested.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our families and friends! We will resume our normal office hours on Friday, November 28th at 8 am.

We're sharing more information on the voluntary recall of ByHeart infant formula. The following information comes from the The Texas Pediatric Society, Texas Chapter of the AAP.

Products Included in the Recall

The voluntary recall applies to all ByHeart infant formula products, including:
Cans
Single-serve sticks
Samples distributed through hospitals, clinics, or directly to consumers

What Parents Should Do
If you still have the formula in your home, you should:

- Take a photo or record the information on the bottom of the package.
- Keep the container in a safe spot and be sure to label that product as DO NOT USE.
- If your child develops symptoms your state health department might want to collect your formula container for testing. If your child does not develop symptoms after 30 days, throw your containers out.
- Wash any items or surfaces that may have come into contact with the recalled formula using hot, soapy water or a dishwasher.
Parents can find tips for choosing a safe baby formula on HealthyChildren.org. ByHeart has also posted guidance for switching formulas.

Watch for Symptoms of Infant Botulism

Infant botulism can be life-threatening. Families should contact a pediatrician immediately if their baby shows any of these signs or symptoms:

Constipation
Poor feeding
Ptosis (drooping eyelid)
Sluggish pupils
Flattened facial expression
Diminished suck and gag reflexes
Weak or altered cry
Respiratory difficulty or respiratory arrest

While no unopened cans have tested positive for Clostridium botulinum, one previously opened sample was found to contain the bacteria. Investigations remain ongoing.

Voluntary recall of ByHeart infant formula. Please read thoroughly if you use this formula so that you know what important steps to take.
