MAMAS - I know it’s long but it’s worth reading.

If you’re tired. Overwhelmed. Looking everywhere for that sign. THIS is it -

YOU CAN DO IT. And we’re here to support you while you do.

This mom said it so well - it brought us to tears.

Breaking the cycle is hard. Postpartum is hard. Just being a mom, is hard.

But we’re here. We’re patient. And we’re willing.

It turns out some of us are a lot like the rest of us 💛

And EVERYONE is able to benefit from our services despite the situation, income and need.

We often get the question "how do I qualify?" - You don't need to, it's free! 🤷‍♀️

"Is this federal or a private service?" - Neither! We're non-profit and funded by the State Board of Education 📚

"Ew you really come to my home?" - We do! BUT we don't have to. We can meet at parks, libraries, coffee shops - whatever is most comfortable for you 🏫

Let's normalize serving families/parents in our communities who are all in parenthood together - Building connections and solid foundations is what we're all about. Not to mention, we're pretty fun too 😏

The weekend is coming to an end.. 🌙

As you go to tuck your little ones in bed, try reading a story 📖

This can establish a consistent bedtime routine, creating a sense of security and signaling to the child's brain that it's time to wind down and sleep 😴

Remember- YOU are your child’s first teacher 👩🏼‍🏫🍎

Here’s to a new week!

❤️ - Your friends at Prenatal & Birth-3

Forever grateful for this partnership that allows us to support families 🤍

ONE WEEK. This is just one week of partner agencies. Every week we have a third of our partner agencies come out to the Loving Bottoms warehouse, pick up the diapers they ordered for their families, and bring them back to their agencies to distribute from their locations. This is our September week 1 partners -- all loading up their cars full of diapers, period products, and adult incontinence products so they can help serve our communities!

We couldn't do it without you!! Thank you Mercer County Health Department, Illinois , Bureau Henry Stark Regional Office of Education , Henry & Stark County Health Departments , Abilities Plus , Jamieson Community Center , Regional Office of Education #26 , Regional Office of Education #33 💕💕

Did you know your local ROE partners with Loving Bottoms Diaper Bank who has been providing diapers to programs like us for the last TEN YEARS??
Thanks to this partnership we are able to provide MONTHLY diapers to those enrolled in our program who are expecting or have a child under 3 with size premie all the way to 4T/5T pull ups.
While 1 in 2 families struggle with diaper need, we are a resource that can help and provide other resources and supports to the families in our community as soon as you enroll!
