Wellness Wednesday ✨

Newborn skin can come with a few surprises! From peeling and tiny bumps to dry patches and cradle cap, many skin changes during those first weeks are common as your baby adjusts to life outside the womb.

Knowing what’s typical can help parents and caregivers feel a little more confident along the way.

If you notice a skin change that concerns you, is getting worse, or just doesn’t seem right, reach out to your baby’s healthcare provider.

September is NICU Awareness Month. 💜✨

For many families, the NICU becomes part of their baby’s very first chapter. This month, we’re recognizing the tiny fighters, the families beside them, and the care teams supporting them every step of the way.

Every family deserves access to compassionate care, helpful resources, and support throughout their journey.

Join us in raising awareness for NICU babies and families.

September is Su***de Prevention Month. 💜🩵

Sometimes support starts with something simple: checking in, listening without judgment, or reminding someone they don’t have to navigate a difficult moment alone.

At R.E.A.C.H., we believe healthier communities are built when people feel seen, heard, and supported. This month, we’re encouraging everyone to make space for the conversations that matter and to look out for the people around them.

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. Support is available 24/7.

Babies communicate long before they say their first words.

From rooting when they’re hungry to turning away when they need a break, small cues can tell us a lot about what a baby may need in the moment.

Every baby is different, and learning their signals takes time. The more you observe, respond, and connect, the more you begin to understand each other.

This , take a little time to notice the ways your baby communicates with you.

Tummy time = little moments that can support BIG milestones. 💜

While your baby is awake and supervised, tummy time can help strengthen their neck, shoulders, back and core while supporting important movement and developmental skills.

Even short tummy-time sessions throughout the day can make a difference!

Wellness check: when was the last time you checked in with *you*?

When you're caring for your family, your own needs can easily fall to the bottom of the list. But even the basics—eating, drinking water, resting, and checking in with how you're feeling—matter.

Take a moment today to ask yourself what you need. And remember, asking for support is part of taking care of yourself, too.
