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.

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.
