Proper nutrition for a pregnant woman does not mean "eating for 2" #NationalNutritionMonth

[March of Dimes Advocacy @MODAdvocacy]

This month, we’re honoring black women we lost due to health inequities here in USA. We’re also highlighting those who paved the way, and/or continue to, advocate for the health of black moms and babies. Who do you advocate for? Who inspires you to advocate? #BlackHistoryMonth

Everyone loves a great blankie...especially when it’s cold outside! Just remember not to put that blankie in the crib with baby. Remember the ABCs of Safe Sleep.

[Lynanne Gutierrez @LynanneWolf]

We have the highest rate of maternal morbidity in the developing world. Healthy babies begin with healthy women long before they become pregnant. #LaytheGroundwork

[Cradle Cincinnati @CradleCincy]

With the cold weather we’re expecting, keep these infant #safesleep tips in mind:

Don’t overheat your baby. Set your thermostat between 68F & 72F.

Don’t overwrap your baby in too many layers.

Always place your baby to sleep on his or her back.

It takes about 2 weeks after #flu vaccination for the body to build up protection against flu. Get a #fluvax before flu begins spreading in your community! https://t.co/hlwS9YNXXP

While #breastfeeding is natural, it can take time to learn and it really helps to get ongoing support from health workers or peer counselors 👩🏼‍⚕️👨🏿‍⚕️

Don’t be afraid to ask for support! 🤱🏻
