Today, we celebrate and recognize the critical role of IBCLCs in WIC.
IBCLCs bring advanced clinical expertise to the WIC program.

IBCLCs:
✅ Support families experiencing complex feeding challenges
✅ Improve breastfeeding initiation, exclusivity, and duration
✅ Mentor peer counselors
✅ Strengthen workforce stability
✅ Contribute to measurable maternal and infant health outcomes

As WIC modernizes and works to strengthen participation and retention, IBCLCs are not optional- they are essential.

Throwback Thursday😂💙

They live in it for months…
It fits just right for two magical hours…
And somehow outgrow it overnight.

This spring break, measles is not just a distant headline. It’s a growing national concern, with cases continuing to be reported across the country.

Spring break should bring home souvenirs and stories, not preventable illnesses.

Vaccination is safe, effective, and the best way for Michigan families to protect not only their own children but also students across our state.

NEWBORN BATH GUIDE 🛁👶

Bathing your newborn should be gentle, warm, and safe.

✅ Use lukewarm water (not hot)
✅ Support baby’s head and neck at all times
✅ Use mild, baby-safe soap only when needed
✅ Keep bath time short (5–10 minutes)
✅ Pat dry gently — don’t rub the skin
✅ Clean the umbilical cord area carefully and keep it dry

🕒 Newborns only need 2–3 baths per week in the first weeks.

✨ Gentle care keeps your baby clean, calm, and comfortable.
