🍼 Infant & Child Feeding in Emergencies

In an emergency, you may not have access to a breast pump, electricity, or even be with your baby. Knowing how to hand express breast milk can help you continue providing milk when you need it most.

Hand expression:
- Requires no equipment, water, or electricity
- Can relieve breast engorgement and help with latching
- May be more comfortable than pumping for some parents
- Can support milk production, especially early in lactation

💡 Tip: Wash your hands, use a clean container, find a comfortable position, and gently massage your breast before expressing. Hand expression should not hurt.

A lactation support provider can help you learn this important skill. With practice, it gets easier!

Every walk tells us something about our community.

Our team at Be Well recently completed a Walk Audit around Peoria Crossing Apartments, looking at pedestrian access to Sand Creek, Bluff Lake Nature Center, and nearby public transportation.

What’s a Walk Audit? It’s a chance to look closely at the places we walk and notice what helps, or gets in the way, of safe, accessible, and connected transportation. We look at sidewalks, crossings, lighting, accessibility, traffic, transit access, and more.

But you don’t have to be part of a formal Walk Audit to make a difference.

Take a walk. Look around. Speak up.

What do you notice in your neighborhood? Is there a sidewalk that needs repair? A crossing that feels unsafe? A transit stop that’s difficult to access? A missing connection to a park or community resource?

Your observations and experiences matter. Share what you see, talk with your neighbors, connect with community organizations, and let local decision-makers know what needs to change.

Together, we can help create safer, healthier, and more connected communities for everyone. 💚

Thank you for those that were able to join us for our be well Civic Education Share Fair.

Our Civic Education Workshops strengthen community power by helping residents explore real ways to get involved — from public meetings and town halls to neighborhood groups, boards, commissions, and advisory opportunities.

Participants choose an engagement pathway that aligns with their issue and identify the information they need to take action.

This is how community organizing grows.
