Zora's Cradle, LLC

I have returned from a momentous week with the ZERO TO THREE 2022-2024 fellows in sunny San Diego, California. To say the experience was life-changing would be an understatement! We networked with fellow infant and early childhood mental health stakeholders and focused on advancing equity amongst the communities we proudly serve.

I look forward to rejoining the dedicated ZERO TO THREE fellows in 2023 to continue our work of giving every child the best possible start in life!

Check out the profiles of the 2022-2024 ZERO TO THREE FELLOWS here: https://www.zerotothree.org/about/fellows/

It's Maternal Su***de Awareness Month. 🎗 This is why we climb-- to remember the moms who died by su***de and to help each other climb out of the darkness. There is hope and healing!

"Although there is no national reporting of maternal su***de rates, from state data it is thought that su***de is one of the leading causes of maternal death in the US and is the leading cause of death in countries such as Japan, the UK, and Ireland."

More families looking to breast milk donations during formula shortage

Thank you sooo much Spectrum News 1 Kentucky for helping Zora's Cradle, LLC spread the word about the need for breast milk donation!

More families looking to breast milk donations during formula shortage Calls to give, receive breast milk have increased

Did you know today is World Human Milk Donation Day? Over 7,000 approved milk donors have helped The Milk Bank feed the fragile since 2005, and we can't thank them enough.

Every day, selfless pumping moms call & ask about donating extra milk to help other babies.

In an average month, we screen about 200 interested donors. In the last two weeks we have screened 348.

348.

Let that sink in. As record numbers of families turn to The Milk Bank to feed their infants, record numbers of donors answer their call.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. 💗
