Yess!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

An initiative in the IWK birth unit is showing significant promise in lowering the number of unplanned Caesarean sections (CS) at the hospital. The Full Moon Challenge promotes a strategy for birthing person positioning during labour. Within the three months of its implementation unplanned CS dropped from 24 percent to 16 percent.

What is the Handle with Care Course? Handle With Care (HWC) is a Canadian course that will provide parents, educators, and all caregivers with the understanding of children’s social and emotional needs, as well as understanding and developing their own. HWC is based on the belief that parents and caregivers want the best for their children and should be supported in this goal. The program uses a strength-based approach and evidence-based practices to promote positive social and emotional development in children.

Who attends Handle with Care courses?
Handle with Care is for EVERYONE who cares for or works with children: parents, grandparents, foster parents, friends, and those who work in early childhood.

Interested in attending a HWC course? Visit our Handle With Care website at https://www.handlewithcarepei.ca/ for program information, or contact Ujay at 902-368-1870 or hwcpei@ecdaofpei.ca to register or find out more information about our next course.

Did you know that newborns have a natural sequence of behaviours after birth?

These Nine Instinctive Stages help babies adjust to life outside the womb and begin their first breastfeeding journey:

1️⃣ Birth cry
2️⃣ Relaxation
3️⃣ Awakening
4️⃣ Activity
5️⃣ Crawling
6️⃣ Resting
7️⃣ Familiarization
8️⃣ Suckling
9️⃣ Restful sleep

Each stage supports bonding, regulation, and feeding. When we give babies time and space, their instincts lead the way.

Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, culture, and progress.

Despite just about every obstacle standing in their way, the generations that came before us built this country from the ground up. They taught us that progress is possible when we come together and make our voices heard — especially at the ballot box.

This Juneteenth, let’s honor their fight by working to protect Black lives, voices, and votes. Stay informed, get involved, and make sure you are registered to vote with at WhenWeAllVote.org.
