July is Make a Difference to Children Month. At Nurses for Newborns, we see every day how meaningful moments can shape a child’s future. A gentle voice. A shared laugh. A calm presence during uncertain times. These are the quiet ways people make a difference, simply by caring.

This month is a reminder that impact doesn't always come with a spotlight. Sometimes, it's found in the steady rhythm of support, the relationships we build, and the commitment to helping families feel seen, heard, and supported.

Together, with kindness and intention, we can continue to make a lasting difference in the lives of babies and the people who love them.

A big thank you to the National Charity League – Spirit of St. Louis Chapter!

We’re so grateful to these incredible volunteers who spent time in our warehouse helping us organize shelves and sort through essential supplies. Their efforts make a real difference to ensure that our home visitors can quickly grab what they need to support the families we serve.

From diapers to developmental items, having an efficient, well-stocked space helps us respond with care, speed, and heart. Thank you for being part of that mission and for showing up with such generosity and spirit!

What’s your go-to ice cream flavor? We’re still debating over here… but one thing we can agree on is our recent Ice Cream Social was the sweetest! 💛

We celebrated a little early at Nurses for Newborns with scoops, spoons, and lots of smiles and let’s be honest, a few sticky hands too. It was a much-needed moment to slow down, laugh together, and savor the joy that comes with being part of this amazing team.

Today on National Ice Cream Day, we’re raising a cone to connection, community, and a little whipped cream on top. ❤️🍦❤️

Drop your favorite flavor in the comments and scroll through the photos to catch a glimpse of all the fun we had!

July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, we believe that every caregiver deserves to feel supported — emotionally and physically — as they care for their baby. Mental health is a key part of that support, especially during the critical early days of parenting. Through our in-home nurse visits, we provide compassionate care that includes emotional check-ins, guidance, and connections to trusted resources tailored to each family’s needs.

This month, we reaffirm our commitment to helping all families thrive — by listening, showing up, and ensuring that no one feels alone in their journey.

We’re honored to be selected as First Alert 4’s 4 Degree Guarantee Charity this month! 🎯

Every weeknight, Meteorologist KMOV Steve Templeton forecasts the next day’s high. If he's within 4 degrees, $50 is donated to Nurses for Newborns—and matched by CardinalsCare, doubling the impact for the families we serve. ❤️👶❤️

Your local forecast just got even more meaningful—because when Steve is accurate, babies and families across Missouri benefit.

📺 Watch weeknights at 10 on KMOV to catch the forecast, and tune in the next evening at 6 for results. Every degree makes a difference!

☀️ July is UV Safety Month! ☀️

Babies have especially delicate skin, and too much sun exposure can be harmful—even on cloudy days. That’s why our nurses and home visitors help educate families on how to protect their little ones from harmful UV rays all summer long. 🧢🍼

Here are a few quick tips for keeping babies sun-safe:
🕶 Keep infants in the shade whenever possible
👒 Use wide-brimmed hats and lightweight clothing
⏰ Avoid direct sun during peak hours (10 a.m.–4 p.m.)
🧴 Talk to your pediatrician before using sunscreen on babies under 6 months

At Nurses for Newborns, we’re committed to protecting tiny lives in every way we can. 💙

Stay safe out there!
