If you have friends/family members/ coworkers that are facing formula issues and are interested in :
1. Attempting to breastfeed/ wanting to initiate breastfeeding with a newborn but are requiring more than 50 % formula supplementation
2. Wanting to relactate after stopping breastfeeding
3. Never breastfed but wanting to now try to help ease the pressure of only formula use with their infant.

Please tell them to EMAIL ME at acaringembracetexas@gmail.com
Dependent on their situation I am helping with relactation free of charge, reduced consult visits, or in-network consults with BlueCross BlueShield and UnitedHealth care.
Feel free to screen shot and share.

Wondering if it's safe to donate post vaccination?

✅ Good news - at this time there are no limitations to donating breastmilk post-vaccination for Covid-19, regardless of the type of vaccine you receive. Although pregnant and breastfeeding women were underrepresented in clinical studies the risks for breastfed infants is believed to be very low. Please continue to express for donations.
