Happy to be a part of that project!!

This is a way delayed shout out to Julie Fields for her role in the donation of a chair in our Mothers’ Room at the PAC Upper Elementary (4-5). When we renovated we made a space for our nursing moms.

USD 382 supports staff by providing a quiet and private space to pump. Our moms and moms-to-be can enjoy their newly renovated pumping space in the PAC building—we also dedicated a space in our construction at SW Elementary. This is a big shout out to Beautiful Bond Breastfeeding Services for the new, cozy chair. Our moms have been using it for the past two school years and love it!

From Julie Fields: We know that breastfeeding/motherhood is important to many moms and can be a challenging venture, but seeing a lactation consultant can help make the transition easier. A bonus to your insurance benefit is that lactation services are covered for employees of USD 382. And lucky enough for us, we have a local lactation consultant who can serve you. If needing assistance with anything related to infant feeding either before or after welcoming a new baby, reach out to Beautiful Bond. https://beautifulbond.com/

Enjoy your 4th trimester!!

The newborn period can often feel overwhelming, but rest assured you're providing so much more than milk to your baby. You're providing safety, security, regulation, and comfort.

Babies don't just want you. They NEED you.]

Dads & supportive family members can do so many things, let me help you find that balance!!

Many partners are often told that the most meaningful way they can help with a new baby is by feeding them. In reality, especially in the early days, introducing bottles too soon can sometimes interrupt a baby’s learning process at the breast and may create extra work for you.

There are many other ways partners can make a huge difference during this time. Practical support might include bringing the baby to you for feeds, burping the baby afterward, handling diaper changes, or settling the baby after feeds. Partners can also take care of household tasks, refill your water and snacks, and make sure you have time to rest and recover. These kinds of support not only protect the breastfeeding relationship while it’s being established, but can also build their own strong bond with the baby and strengthen the bond with you!

[Image Description: Infographic featuring a father with an infant. Text reads, “Myth: The only way a partner can help with breastfeeding is by offering a bottle to baby. Fact: There are many ways to bond with a baby. In the early days, your partner can support that bond by caring for you. Over the long term, partners help by providing a loving, safe presence and showing children that love and comfort come in many forms—not just through food." The LLL USA logo sits below the text.]
