Most days we have trouble just finding something to match with black, but these days, it’s all about finding something that matches breastmilk, keeps the girls under wraps, yet allows for easy access at feeding time 😅. Yep, it’s a fashionable moment. Tell us what you fashionable feeders are wearing?

✨ Make a Difference Monday!
Join us in some of our current legislative efforts to increase access to midwifery and birth center care.

The BABIES Act ensures birth centers thrive--not just survive. These centers are more than buildings -- they're lifelines.

-Fewer interventions
-Lower costs to Medicaid
-Higher client satisfaction

The choice is obvious.
Introduced in May 2025 by Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), the Better Availability of Birth Centers Improves Outcomes and Expands Savings (BABIES) Act (S.1598) would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish a demonstration project under the Medicaid program in six states in areas identified a having limited access to maternity care.
Repost this. Contact your reps. Fund what works.
