Swimming pools can have a powerful pull on little children―even when it's not swimming time. Those glistening turquoise-blue ripples may look especially inviting to an active toddler or an overly confident preschooler.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends several ways parents can help keep children safe around home swimming pools and hot tubs―in your own backyard, your neighbor's, or on vacation. It's important to use multiple "layers" of protection, since no single step can prevent all drowning. Read on to learn more!

Just like during pregnancy, eating healthy and nutrient-dense foods while breastfeeding or pumping is important! WIC offers specialized food packages for parents who are breastfeeding or combo-feeding their child up to 12 months old.

Your local WIC clinic may also provide breastfeeding and pumping supplies, and many parents can access free lactation support from peer counselors and International Board-Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs).

Did you know? Your baby's skin can play a role in whether they develop a food allergy! Even before your baby is introduced to solids and new foods, they can still come into direct contact with food allergens through their skin. If this happens regularly, it
may increase their chances of developing an allergy to that particular food.

Studies show that while eating an allergen early can protect your baby from that food allergy, but if that same food touches their skin regularly, it can actually raise the risk of an allergy.

So how can you help protect your baby's skin? We suggest: Wash your hands after eating, especially if the food you ate is a common allergen. Then wash your hands again before touching your baby's skin, such as during diaper changes or when putting on lotions or creams.
