💙 Follow the ABCs of Safe Sleep! 😴

Creating a safe sleep environment is one of the most important things you can do to help protect your baby while they sleep.

🅰️ Alone – Your baby should sleep alone, without blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, or crib bumpers.
🅱️ Back – Always place your baby on their back for every nap and every night.
🅲 Crib – Use a firm, flat sleep surface, such as a safety-approved crib, bassinet, or play yard with a fitted sheet.

These simple steps can help reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep-related infant deaths.

💙 Did you know? Gestational diabetes (GDM) affects up to 9% of pregnancies in the United States each year.

A diagnosis of gestational diabetes can feel overwhelming, but with the right care and support, you can have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. 🌸
Here are a few ways to help manage gestational diabetes:
🥗 Follow a healthy eating plan
🚶 Stay physically active, as recommended by your healthcare provider
🩸 Monitor and manage your blood glucose (blood sugar)
👩‍⚕️ Attend all prenatal appointments and follow your provider's guidance

Remember, every pregnancy is different. If you have questions or concerns, always talk with your healthcare provider.
