We made it to the "BER" months!🍁🎄

As beautiful as the seasons are with the leaves changing , it brings the dreaded cold and flu season.

Breastmilk contains AMAZING antibodies! This is one way for mothers to keep their babies safe during "BER" season.

If the mother is sick , often times it is encouraged to continue breastfeeding.

It is also good practice to make sure to wash your hands before coming into contact with babies.

Don't kiss babies that are not yours. We all know that babies are so cute and cuddly but by kissing babies , it can spread illnesses that you may not even be aware you have at the time.

🌟 Child Welfare Worker Appreciation 🌟

Today, we pause to honor the incredible dedication, compassion, and resilience of Child Welfare Workers.

These professionals work tirelessly to protect children, strengthen families, and create safe, nurturing environments where every child has the chance to thrive. Their work is often behind the scenes, but its impact lasts a lifetime.

To all the Child Welfare Workers in our community and beyond — thank you for your courage, your heart, and your unwavering commitment to children and families. 👏👏👏

Your efforts do not go unnoticed, and our program is deeply grateful for everything you do.💙

Brittany Taylor -WIC Director, brought the CCBN tent to an event for the first time! We are so excited to start to get this tent out for our community to use. Giving mothers a space while they are out in the community to feed their babies in private is so amazing. We will let you know where we will be for some of our future events!

💛Thank you to CareSource for sponsoring this tent and for participating in CCBN to help us promote breastfeeding in Coshocton County!

1 in 5 new moms experience perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), yet many struggle in silence. If you’re feeling exhausted, hopeless, or not like yourself, it isn’t your fault—and you're not alone. ❤️

At WIC, we provide mental health resources, nutrition guidance, and compassionate care to parents before, during, and after pregnancy—because your well-being matters.
