did you know?? 💭
the history of potty training has CHANGED over the years. 🕰️
why you may ask? money 💰. the disposable diaper industry was starting to boom, so the experts started releasing “information” that supported parents using these diapers longer.

Last week we celebrated a win that overall infant mortality rates are dropping, according to what the CDC released last month.
Sadly, there is still work to do. 💔

Racial disparities in maternal health specifically, are awful. As you can see from this graph, African American infants have the highest mortality rate in the US, and it slightly went UP. Overall, not a lot of change between 2023 and 2024. Let’s keep fighting for more accessible maternal health care. ❤️
