This or That? 📚✨ National Safe Toys & Gifts Month Edition!

Paper books or board books for your 1-year-old?
While paper pages tear easily and can break into small pieces that pose a choking risk, cardboard or "board" books are thick, sturdy, and made for grabbing, chewing, and enthusiastic page-turning. 📖👶

Safety pick: Board books! ✨

You’ve probably heard the phrase “eating for two” 🤰—but pregnancy nutrition is really about eating smart, not double.

In general, you need a couple balanced, nourishing snacks per day in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters to offset the extra energy that goes towards supporting you and your growing baby. 💚

that the holidays can bring air quality risks for pregnant women and babies in Virginia? When we spend more time indoors, things like fireplaces, scented candles, and cooking can fill the air with tiny particles that aren’t good for infant lungs. These pollutants can make breathing harder and even affect pregnancy health.

Be sure to crack a window after cooking, use your stove’s exhaust fan, and try battery-operated candles instead of real ones. Keeping your indoor air clean this season means a healthier season for your family. Follow along with the VNPC to learn about how we are advocating for healthier moms and babies.
