Help for Mommies to Be

BRONX - Local families enjoyed an afternoon of education and celebration for people who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant. 

They heard from a panel of maternal and infant health experts from Montefiore Einstein who shared information and resources on topics including breastfeeding, birthing and NICU services. 

The experts also discussed how social issues, such as housing and food insecurity, impact health outcomes and shared details on how to find support.

 

The event, held in partnership with Empire BlueCross BlueShield, also included nutritious food from local vendors, mocktails and a maternity photoshoot.
