S1 EP 8 | Dr. Stephanie Hanson

Let's talk about cold and flu season! On today's podcast episode, we have the opportunity to sit down with a very well-known and respected pediatrician in the Fargo-Moorhead area, Dr. Stephanie Hanson with Sanford Health. Dr. Hanson has 11 years of pediatric experience, and in her practice has seen many NICU grads come through her clinic.

Cold and flu season is a scary topic for any new mother, but for many NICU mothers there is an added element of fear as their babies may have compromised immune systems. So today we wanted to take the opportunity to share some practical information regarding cold and flu season from a licensed and experienced medical professional! We talk about what the differences are between the flu and RSV, why the flu shot is important, practical ways you can protect your baby if you go out in public, and more.

We hope that this episode eases some of your fears, gets you away from those midnight google searches, and reminds you that YOU ARE YOUR BABY'S BEST ADVOCATE. You got this mama!
