Do you know how to perform CPR on your infant or child? You should! If something went wrong, the time between when you dialed 911 and when EMS arrives is a critical window. Those three to five minutes are the difference between life and death. Bystander CPR can double and even triple a victim’s chance for survival.
That is why Red Stick Moms Blog, The American Heart Association, Ochsner Health System and Bayou Time Sitters are ready to help you learn those lifesaving skills.

Each month the Red Stick Moms Blog team will be sharing some of our Favorite Things. This month we are highlighting some of the beautiful, local parks in and around Baton Rouge that we have come to love.
"BREC's Highland Road Park is my favorite park. I've been going since I was a little girl, so there are a lot of childhood memories there. I love bringing my kids to roll on the hills, walk around the big trees, watch a game of tennis or frisbee golf (from afar), or ride bikes on the new pathway.
