As the weather gets chillier and winter flu and cold season continues, it’s important to take steps to prevent illness and to check in with you and your child’s health care providers. ❄️

To boost your winter wellness, prioritize sleep, take vitamin D supplements (with approval from your doctor), sip herbal teas to warm your body, use a humidifier to prevent nose bleeds and sore throats from dry winter air, and wash your hands regularly with warm soapy water. 🍵 💤 🧼

Use WIC approved store brand crispy rice cereal

Cherry Rice Krispie Treats

Perfect for home baking, these soft and chewy treats from deesviral put a playful twist on the classic Rice Krispie bars with bright cherry flavor and a rich drizzle of dark chocolate that makes every bite extra special.

Ingredients
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 package mini marshmallows
• 1½ tablespoons cherry-flavored gelatin powder
• 6 cups crispy rice cereal
• 6 oz dark chocolate melting wafers or finely chopped dark chocolate
• Non-stick cooking spray

Preparation Steps

Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter completely.

Add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until fully melted, smooth, and lump-free. Remove from heat immediately.

Stir the cherry gelatin powder into the hot marshmallow mixture until evenly blended and vibrant in color.

Add the crispy rice cereal and gently fold until all cereal is evenly coated.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Using lightly buttered or damp hands, press gently into an even layer without compacting too firmly.

Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals, stirring until smooth.

Drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the top of the treats.

Allow the treats to set at room temperature for about 1 hour, or refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until the chocolate is firm.

Slice into squares and serve.

Closing
Enjoy these cherry rice krispie treats soft, chewy, and chocolate-drizzled, share them with friends or family, and follow deesviral for more fun twists on classic homemade desserts.

To the pumping mom who leaves her baby to go to work, you are nothing short of a superhero 💛 You navigate early alarms, crowded schedules, and endless to-do lists, all while carrying a deep commitment to *nourish and protect* your child. Every pump session, every ounce you collect, is a message to your baby that “Mom is here, even when she’s not.”

You sit in quiet rooms, sometimes with judgmental glances or impatient coworkers, but you keep going. You plan your breaks, pack your cooler, wash bottles in record time, and face the discomfort and exhaustion…all so your baby gets the gift of your milk. Your body is working tirelessly, your mind is juggling responsibilities, and your heart is stretched across miles, yet you persevere.

This is love in its rawest, strongest form. It’s dedication that doesn’t need applause but deserves all the recognition in the world. You’re providing not just nutrition, but immune protection, comfort, and connection…your baby will feel it every time they nurse, long after you’re back in your role at work.

To the pumping mom who wonders if it’s worth it: it absolutely is. Every drop matters. Every session is proof of your love, your sacrifice, and your strength. Keep going. You are building a bond and giving your baby a gift that will last a lifetime 💛🤱🏼

You are enough.
You are amazing.
And your baby will always know
the love behind every ounce.

Happy New Year 🤍
January 1st…. and you’re already nourishing life.

While the world resets its calendars, breastfeeding mothers are doing what they’ve always done: responding, sustaining, and showing up feed by feed. No resolutions needed. No explanations owed. Just a body doing exactly what it was designed to do.

Here’s to a year of milk made specifically for your baby, strength that grows quietly, and confidence that deepens with every latch.

Welcome to the new year, breastfeeding mama.
You’re already enough.

🩷🤱🏼
