Drowning is the 3rd leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide…and it is completely preventable. Many drownings occur when both parents are home or during gatherings, like family parties. To prevent these tragic deaths, it is critical to be educated about water safety and life-saving techniques.
Water safety is not just for homeowners with a pool in their backyard. It is likely that at some point you and your family will be invited to a backyard pool party or an event that involves water! That is where following these simple pool safety rules comes in handy.

It is important that, in preparation for and during breastfeeding, mothers eat a healthy, balanced diet. Combined breast- and bottle-feeding in the first weeks of life may reduce the supply of a mother's breastmilk and reversing the decision not to breastfeed is difficult. If you do decide to use infant formula, you should follow instructions carefully.
