Congratulations - Hmong Breastfeeding Coalition
Each Monday, the Center for Health Equity, Education, and Research (CHEER) recognizes a CHEER CHAMPion for their work promoting and protecting breastfeeding and maternal-child health. Last week, the Hmong Breastfeeding Coalition (HBC) was recognized as CHEER CHAMPion. The HBC began as the Hmong Breastfeeding Project, a collaboration of then-student Tiffany Pao Yang, WIC staff including Mary Johnson, Linda Dech, and Marcia McCoy, Pa Shasky from Ramsey County Public Health, and the Minnesota Breastfeeding Coalition. Congratulations!
Topic of the Month – Prenatal Vitamins
A healthy diet is the ideal way to get adequate vitamins and minerals, but increased nutrient needs during pregnancy makes it very difficult to get enough of some key nutrients. Most OB/GYN doctors will recommend a prenatal vitamin (PNV) during pregnancy to assure consistent intake of key nutrients throughout the pregnancy. Prenatal Vitamins – Topic of the Month will cover some important information and provide staff tips to discussing PNV intake with WIC participants.
Local agency staff should talk to their supervisor for approval before registering for training.
