👶🏾🎂 Every baby deserves cake.

The first birthday should be a milestone filled with joy, family, and celebration. But too many Black babies don’t get the chance to see that day.

In NJ, Black babies are 3x more likely to die before their first birthday. Nationally, it’s 1 in every 95 Black babies. We’re launching the Babies Deserve Cake campaign to change that.

💜 Here’s how you can join:
1️⃣ Update your profile pic with our campaign frame
2️⃣ Share your own baby photo or your baby’s first birthday moment
3️⃣ Donate to help us fight for change

Together, we can rewrite this story. Together, we can make sure .

Through Our Babies Deserve Cake campaign, you have the chance to show the joy, love, and strength that Black families bring to every milestone. When you share your child’s first birthday story, you remind the world that our babies deserve to grow, to be celebrated, and to thrive. 🎂

💡 The Answer is B!

You might see bottles like Option A advertised as “wide-base” to mimic the breast—but here’s the truth: a baby’s mouth can’t actually take in that wide base. Instead, they purse their lips and drink from the top. Over time, babies can carry that same mouth position to the breast… and OUCH! 😬

A ni**le with a gradual, narrow base like Option B allows the baby to take more of the ni**le in their mouth, just like at the breast. This makes switching between breast and bottle easier and pain-free for both parent and baby. 💛

Breastfeeding requires different muscles to pull milk from the breast. They type of bottle you select can have a big impact on your babies ability to go back and forth between the breast and the bottle.

At PHEI we don't believe the bottle 🍼 is evil, it's a necessary tool to successful breastfeeding, but there are some tips and tricks to make the process smoother.

Put your guess in the comments, Is it A or B?

We will reveal the answer and the reason in tomorrow's post.
