@MomsRising A7 Other than emergency food pantries, there are diaper depots and some WIC offices are offering additional first foods in under-served communities. In some cities you can call 311 for emergency food needs. #WellnessWed #NBM20 #healthconnctone

[Brenda RN @BrendaReyesN]

@MomsRising A5: I have seen community members develop mutual aid and share resources during COVID-19 in amazing and powerful ways. #WellnessWed #NBM20

[NAPPLSC @NAPPLSC]

A4: No matter the method of feeding, ALL families deserve culturally centered support, lactating families especially those who exclusively express human milk should also know how to hand express. #WellnessWednesday #iamnapplsc #napplc

[MomsRising @MomsRising]

@MomsRising One thing we found very useful is teaching parents to be and new parents hand expression. Ee depend too much on technology, which is usually gone when a disaster strikes. #WellnessWed #NBM20

[NAPPLSC @NAPPLSC]

A3: Diapers, non-perishable foods, flash lights, cleaning supplies, cash, water, baby carrier, wind up radio. Items to keep children entertained.

[MomsRising @MomsRising]

Q3: As families prepare their emergency kits, what should they include for infant & young child feeding? #WellnessWed #NBM20

[Lourdes Santaballa @IBCLCPuertoRico]

@MomsRising Floods, earthquakes, ICE raids, terrorist attacks, bridge collapses, landslides, tornados, torrential rains, straightline winds, war . . . the list is long #IYCFE #NBM20 #WellnessWed

Support is just as essential as Nutrition! Access to culturally centered skilled lactation support and safe infant feeding resources.
