🚨 New Study Alert 🚨

We know that fathers play an important role in child development, but did you know that they can play a role in promoting breastfeeding and practicing safe sleep?

A new study looked at how fathers can impact the initiation and duration of breastfeeding, as well as safe sleep practices. The study, conducted in Georgia (US), looked at 250 fathers’ attitudes, behaviors, and experiences before, during, and 2 to 6 months after their infant’s birth (Parker et al. 2023).

The study found that fathers who encouraged breastfeeding were more likely to have children who both initiated and continued breastfeeding at 8 weeks.

It also found that only 16% of fathers followed all 3 safe sleep practices recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics:
1️⃣ Placing the infant on their back to sleep
2️⃣ Using only approved sleep surfaces for infants
3️⃣ Avoiding soft bedding, blankets, and stuffed animals

Young children have the highest risk of being injured at home because that's where they spend most of their time. Most childhood injuries, like burns for example, can be predicted and therefore prevented. Supervision is the best way to prevent injuries.

Here are some tips to PREVENT BURNS AT HOME:

🔥 Keep matches and lighters out of reach of children.

🔥 Install and maintain a smoke alarm and remember to change the batteries!

🔥 Cover electrical outlets.

🔥 Turn pan handles on the stove inward and use back burners when cooking.

🔥 Set the hot water heater to 120 degrees Fahrenheit (F) or less. Ask a friend or your landlord if you need help.

🔥 Test bath water temperature before putting your child in it.
