It is Black History Month. This year's theme is African Americans and the Arts. We will be showcasing some amazing black birth artists, our black faculty members, and some of our members. We will also share how all of us can make a difference.
Why celebrate Black History Month? The contributions of African Americans to our history and culture are important. By taking the time to look at history through a perspective that isn't always highlighted helps us to grow and understand ourselves and others. There is still so much to learn.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, exclusive breastfeeding is recommended during the first six months of the baby's life, since this represents health benefits for both mother and baby.

California specifically has made significant progress in recent years promoting exclusive breastfeeding in hospitals, and although many women start out with the intention of exclusively breast-feeding their babies, nearly one-third of them eventually introduce their babies to formula before they leave the hospital.

Research has shown that breastfeeding babies can reduce the risk of obesity, diabetes, and asthma as well as lower the chance of heart disease and cancer in mothers.

A Doula provides physical and emotional support before, during, and after childbirth. Different research shows that a Doula’s support is associated with healthier pregnancies and babies.

The good news for families in California is that this year, for the first time, families can now hire a doula through the state's low-income health insurance program. This is great new for all families since traditional private health insurance plans do not typically cover doulas, and for some families, acquiring a Doula is simply out of reach.

Nishtha Patel, manager of special programs for Medi-Cal ensures that in California, “members who are pregnant will get everything they need to have a healthy pregnancy, have a healthy baby, [and] feel confident in the care they receive.”
