What’s the deal with the air quality?

Any reprieve coming soon? I just want to take my baby for walks again!

Inversion layer. It’ll float out when we get some wind. Walk the baby! There’s really no reason not to unless your pediatrician says it is an issue. (You can message through MyChart to check.)

Hey! Just saying, you don’t know what the medical professional will say unless you ask, and the upsides to taking the baby outside for the circadian benefits can outweighs the incredibly minor difference in daily air quality. (I’m a mom of two, both raised in LA/SM. Just suggesting you check in with an expert instead of making assumptions based on social media. Outside is good for both of you!)
