LENOWISCO 衛生區 WIC
計畫將舉辦世界母乳哺育週慶祝活動

GATE CITY, VA。 – 國際母乳哺育週每年八月的第一週舉行。LENOWISCO 衛生區的婦女、嬰兒和兒童 (WIC) 計畫將於八月 6 日星期四下午 1-3 點，在 Big Stone Gap 遊客中心 (地址：Big Stone Gap, VA, Wood Ave. 306 號) 舉辦社區活動，以慶祝和推廣母乳哺育。在此活動期間，公眾將能夠獲得有關母乳哺育、汽車座椅安全、安全睡眠習慣、尿布援助計畫、嬰兒照護和資源媽媽計畫以及其他支援服務的寶貴資訊和資源。母乳哺育同儕諮詢師和國際認證泌乳顧問 (IBCLC) 也將提供諮詢服務。

“Breastfeeding provides lifelong health benefits for both babies and mothers, supporting healthy growth, strengthening immune systems, and promoting maternal health. In our rural communities, supporting families from the very beginning is one of the most important investments we can make in the future health of our region,” said Reisa Sloce, Cumberland Plateau and LENOWISCO Health Districts director. “During World Breastfeeding Week, we invite community members, families, healthcare providers, and supporters to join us as we celebrate breastfeeding, share resources, and recognize the vital role breastfeeding plays in building healthier communities. Together, we can create an environment where every family has the support they need to thrive.”

母乳哺育拯救生命，並且是促進母親與嬰兒健康、存活與福祉的關鍵介入措施。此外，母乳餵養在正常與緊急情況下提供良好的營養和糧食安全。
