🤱 Milk Mondays: You’re Invited!

Breastfeeding can be beautiful… and also confusing, exhausting, and full of questions. You are not meant to figure it out alone. 💛

Our WIC Breastfeeding Support Group is a safe, welcoming space for moms who are:
• Pregnant and planning to breastfeed
• Currently breastfeeding
• Pumping or combo feeding
• Having challenges or just wanting encouragement

Come connect with other moms, ask questions, share experiences, and get support from your WIC Peer Counselor and other breastfeeding families.

El grupo en español estará disponible el próximo miércoles.

Even if you feel great, some health problems don’t show obvious symptoms. That’s why prenatal tests are so important!

Expect:
📸 Ultrasound – See your baby’s growth!
🩸 Blood & urine tests – Check for infections & anaemia
🔬 Blood pressure & glucose screening – Prevent complications
🤰🏾 Regular baby monitoring – Ensure a safe delivery

Every test is a step toward a healthy pregnancy. Work with your health worker to ensure you get the care you need, when you need it. 💕

Calling all cats & kittens, dogs & cats out to the Laurel Community Center THIS Saturday, March 14th starting at 10 AM!

Thanks to our friends at Friends of Madison County Animals, Dr. Ford will be coming out to Laurel for a FREE vaccination clinic for Madison County residents.

Please make sure ALL dogs are on leash and ALL cats are in carriers! This is for their safety and yours too.

We hope you'll come out and get your critters up to date on their vaccinations thanks to this great community partnership.

See you there!

Here's a stat worth moving for: Regular physical activity can help prevent heart disease, type 2 diabetes, some cancers, and even depression. 🏃‍️ According to the CDC, adults need at least:
💪 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week (like brisk walking)
💪 2 days of muscle-strengthening activities per week

That's just 22 minutes a day. A walk during lunch, a bike ride after dinner, or a dance break at home counts!

Can't do it all at once? That's okay. Even short bursts of movement throughout your day add up and make a real difference for your long-term health.

Shared meals, traditions and time together all help children feel connected and valued, even when appetites and preferences don’t quite align.
