With a major winter storm potentially affecting dozens of states, we recognize the concerns many have about stored milk.

Updated to add: A stand alone freezer will maintain temperature for 48 hours in a power outage if unopened. A freezer compartment within a fridge will maintain temperature for 24 hours if unopened.

[Image Description] Photo of a wintery scene. Text on top reads, "Power outage? Worried about your frozen milk? Try to keep the freezer door completely shut while power is out. Once power is restored, check to see if there are any ice crystals that remain in the bags. If there are any frozen ice crystals at all, it may be refrozen." The La Leche League USA logo is below the text.

Unmedicated births don't mean you can't rest in labor. This mom is rocking her birth on pitocin & being able to cat nap in between contractions.

Can't wait to meet him ❤️

What's your favorite holiday tradition?

Mine might be driving around looking at Christmas lights while singing Christmas songs. It's hard to pick though because my girls love it all.

My six year old asked at 2:30pm today, "Is it bedtime yet?" Because she can't wait to open presents tomorrow morning ❤️🎄❤️

Shout out to whichever nurse made this whiteboard at AAMC L&D!

I've been able to facilitate a number of Centering groups (shout out to Friday's group!) & it's always such a treat to get to meet a group of pregnant women that are all due the same month. I love the Centering program!

Jury Duty today for me! Im always thinking of moms- while being a recently postpartum mom can get you excused from jury duty, I was happy to see they do offer a pumping room!

Absolutely horrifying. If you've never struggled with fertility, you have no idea what those families truly go through- loss, shame, guilt, longing.

Congress removed IVF coverage for military. families from National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) - even though it had bipartisan support. This provision would have expanded access to IVF and fertility treatment for active-duty service members and their families.
