💜 Infant Loss Awareness Day | Rutgers NJMS WIC 🕊️

Today, we honor the precious babies gone too soon and hold space for the families who carry their memories in their hearts. 💜

We recognize that pregnancy and infant loss can bring deep grief, and every family's journey is unique. No family should have to navigate this difficult time feeling alone.

At Rutgers NJMS WIC, we are here to support our families with compassion, understanding, and care. While we provide nutrition education and resources to support healthy pregnancies, infants, and growing families, we also recognize the importance of listening, offering kindness, and connecting families with additional support when needed.

Today and every day, we stand with families who have experienced loss. Your grief matters, your baby matters, and you are not alone. 💜🦋

With love and support,
The Rutgers NJMS WIC Team

Cozy Up! Creamy Butternut Squash Soup
Fall in a bowl! A little sweet, a little savory, and a whole lot of cozy! 🍁🥣
The Magic Ingredients
- 🫒 2 tbsp olive oil – A little golden goodness!
- 🧅 1 small yellow onion – Chopped and ready to shine.
- 🧄 1 garlic clove – Because everything is better with garlic!
- 🍏 1 Granny Smith apple – Our sweet and tangy surprise! Peeled, cored, and chopped.
- 🎃 1 large butternut squash (about 2.5 lbs) – The star of the show! Peeled, seeded, and cubed.
- 🌿 ½ tsp dried thyme – A little earthy magic.
- 🍃 1 bay leaf – Our secret flavor booster.
- ✨ ¼ tsp nutmeg – A warm hug in every spoonful.
- 💧 3–4 cups water – To bring it all together.
- 🥛 2 cups soymilk – For that dreamy, creamy finish.
- 🧂 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper – A little seasoning love.
- 🍋 1 tsp fresh lemon juice – A bright little twist!
- 🌰 4 tbsp toasted sliced almonds – For the perfect crunchy finish.

Let's Get Soupy!
1. Start the magic! Heat olive oil in a large pot and sauté the onion until soft. Add garlic and cook until fragrant.
2. Bring on the fall flavors! Toss in the apple, butternut squash, thyme, bay leaf, and nutmeg.
3. Let it simmer! Add 3 cups of water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 20–25 minutes until the squash is tender.
4. Blend it beautiful! Remove the bay leaf and carefully blend until silky smooth.
5. Make it creamy! Stir in the soymilk, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Warm gently, adding more water if needed.
6. The grand finale! Sprinkle toasted almonds on top for a delicious crunch!

🩸💚 IRON IS IMPORTANT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY! 💚🩸

Iron isn’t just important for babies and children — everyone needs iron to stay healthy and feel their best!

✨ Why does our body need iron?

🩸 Supports healthy blood — Iron helps your body make hemoglobin, which carries oxygen throughout your body.

💪 Supports energy — Getting enough iron helps your body produce energy and can help prevent iron deficiency.

🧠 Supports growing brains — Iron is especially important for babies, children, and teens as their brains and bodies grow.

🤰 Important during pregnancy — During pregnancy, iron needs increase to support both mom and baby.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 A healthy family starts with healthy meals! Try adding iron-rich foods to meals and snacks for the whole family.

🥩 Lean meats & poultry
🫘 Beans & lentils
🥬 Spinach & leafy greens
🥣 Iron-fortified cereals
🥚 Eggs
🌱 Tofu
🐟 Fish & seafood
🥜 Nuts & seeds

🍊 WIC TIP: Pair plant-based iron foods with vitamin C-rich foods like oranges, strawberries, tomatoes, bell peppers, or broccoli to help your body absorb more iron!

💚 Rutgers NJMS WIC is here to support your family with nutrition education, healthy food benefits, breastfeeding support, and more.

Healthy food. Healthy families. Stronger communities. 💚
