Illness is spreading fast right now, and as families, caregivers, and community members, we all play a role in protecting one another.
If you or your children are sick: fever, cough, body aches, “just getting over it”,staying home is an act of care, not fear. Especially for babies, pregnant people, postpartum families, elders, and those who are immunocompromised, exposure can be serious and sometimes dangerous.
As a doula, I work closely with families during some of their most vulnerable seasons. Newborns, healing bodies, sleep-deprived parents, and families without the ability to miss work are deeply impacted when illness spreads unnecessarily.
“It’s just the flu” may feel manageable for some, but for others it can mean hospitalizations, missed income, delayed healing, and real risk.
Choosing to rest at home when you’re sick is community care.
Protecting others is part of loving our families well.
Thank you for doing your part 🤍
