Did you know Dads can help with breastfeeding as well? It’s true!

The first weeks after having a baby are both exciting and overwhelming – you and your partner are learning a lot together, including how to breastfeed. Here’s how Dads can step in:

🖤 Help take care of the baby: You can soothe, bathe, change, dress, cuddle, and burp your baby. You can also keep your partner company during feedings and make sure that she has plenty to eat and drink.

🖤 Watch for hunger signs: Learn your baby's hunger cues so that you can bring your baby to your partner for nursing sessions.

🖤 Limit visitors: New moms need plenty of rest! Help limit the number of visitors that come to your home.

🖤 Go the extra mile: Help with chores. Run errands, cook, clean, and do laundry. If mom needs something while she's breastfeeding, offer to get it for her. If you have other children, take care of them so your partner can focus on breastfeeding.

🖤 Offer encouragement: Help your partner feel good about herself. Tell her you're proud of her and that she's doing a great job.

🖤 Know your resources: That’s us! Our Male Involvement Network has free workshops for father and father figures to provide support and guidance.

Today, on Women’s Equality Day, let’s celebrate the incredible strength, resilience, and brilliance of women everywhere!

At REACHUP, we advocate for women every day, through the most pivotal and emotional experiences of their lives: pregnancy and childbirth. Every woman deserves equal opportunities, respect, and support. We will continue to support our mamas as well as acknowledge and uplift the voices and contributions of women everywhere.

Stand with us in the fight for equality—because when women rise, we all rise. 🙌🙌🏿🙌🏼🙌🏻🙌🏽🙌🏾 #womensequalityday #WeAreTheWay

The 2024 #NationalBreastfeedingMonth theme is: Nourish, Sustain, Thrive 💪

The goal? To shine a light on why protecting, promoting, and supporting lactation is so important for the human life cycle, honor the incredible work that organizations are doing to make the world a little more friendly for new parents and families, and highlight how individuals, funders, and policymakers can contribute to a strong and sustainable lactation field.

We at REACHUP are proud to be part of this initiative and will continue to support our mamas and babies to be at their healthiest.

It’s the last day of #WorldBreastfeedingWeek! Did you know breastfeeding…

💛 Supplies all the necessary nutrients in the proper proportions
💛 Protects against allergies, sickness, and obesity. It protects against diseases, like diabetes and cancer
💛 Protects against infections, like ear infections

According to UNICEF, 48% of infants worldwide are exclusively breastfed for the first six months of their lives, which is a 10% increase over the past 12 years. 👏👏👏

August is National Breastfeeding Month! Breastfeed

August is National Breastfeeding Month! Breastfeeding promotes better health for mothers and children alike. Some facts:

💛 Increasing breastfeeding to near-universal levels could save more than 700,000 lives every year, the majority being children under six months.

💛 Breastfeeding decreases the risk of mothers developing breast cancer, ovarian cancer, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.

💛 It is estimated that increased breastfeeding could avert 20,000 maternal deaths each year due to breast cancer.

Facts around Black Maternal Mental Health accordin

Facts around Black Maternal Mental Health according to the @cdcgov and @marchofdimes 🤯

🖤 Mental health conditions (such as depression, anxiety, death by suicide, and substance use disorders) are the leading cause of maternal mortality
🖤 Perinatal mood disorders are one of the leading complications of pregnancy and childbirth.
🖤 1 in 5 new moms experience a maternal mental health condition
🖤 40% of Black women experience maternal mental health symptoms—nearly twice the rate of all women.
