Es el Mes de Concientización del Cribado Neonatal y estamos celebrando la prueba sencilla que permite salvar miles de vidas cada año.

Se trata de un pinchazo en el talón para detectar más de 30 afecciones de salud graves, pero tratables. El cribado es una gran oportunidad para que los bebés tengan un comienzo saludable, ya que permite detectar problemas antes de que aparezcan los síntomas.

September is Newborn Screening Awareness Month, and we’re celebrating the simple test that saves thousands of lives every single year.

It’s a heel prick that checks for more than 30 serious but treatable health conditions. This screening gives babies the best chance at a healthy start by catching issues before symptoms even appear.

It’s , and this year’s theme is “Work. Pump. Advance. Empowering the modern parent.” 🤱 At WIC, we support working parents by providing breast pumps, peer support and lactation experts, nutritious food, and personalized food packages to support your breastfeeding goals.

We believe breastfeeding parents should be able to feed their babies or toddlers (or pump/hand express milk!) at work, school, and in public with respect and support. Learn more about your breastfeeding rights: https://bit.ly/4wy5eq1

: el tema de este año es “Trabaje. Extráigase leche. Avance. Empoderamos a las madres de hoy”. 🤱 En el WIC, apoyamos a las madres que trabajan brindándoles extractores de leche, apoyo entre pares y de especialistas en lactancia, alimentos nutritivos y paquetes de alimentos personalizados para ayudarles a alcanzar sus objetivos de lactancia.

Creemos que quienes amamantan deben poder alimentar a sus bebés o niños pequeños (¡o extraerse leche con un extractor o manualmente!) en el trabajo, en la escuela y en público, con respeto y apoyo. Obtenga más información sobre sus derechos relacionados con la lactancia: https://bit.ly/3V4jBnL
