🌙👶 Happy World Sleep Day – March 13, 2026! 💤

As we recognize World Sleep Day, let’s remember the ABCs of Safe Sleep for infants:
🅰️ Alone – No blankets, pillows, toys, or bumpers
🅱️ Back – Always place baby on their back
🅲️ Crib – Firm, flat surface with only a fitted sheet

To all the newborn parents in the trenches: you are doing an amazing job. This phase is tough — but you’re not alone. Sending peaceful (and hopefully uninterrupted 😉) vibes to all parents tonight. 🌙💙

💙 Meet Delia, our newest NFP Nurse-Home Visitor! 💙

Why you chose to be a Nurse?
I am very involved in the Women's Health sector and wanted to be able to further my reach and do more impactful work by expanding my career.

Past nursing jobs/experience:
In the last 5 years, I have been a birth/postpartum doula, a Labor & Deliver Patient Care Tech and most recently a Women's Health medical surgical nurse.

What you love about NFP?
Its impactful work, creating evident change that is noted within our communities and the communities that NFP serves.

Favorite advice for new mothers?
Take it week by week! It is all so overwhelming so one week at a time and celebrate the small wins from the week prior.

What you do in free time/fun fact about you?
I am an animal lover with a past career in animal science. I have 2 rescue pups at home 🐶🐶
