🌠 Tonight could be one of the best nights in years to catch the Perseid meteor shower!

The big reason: the Perseids are peaking under a dark New Moon sky, meaning there’s almost no moonlight to wash out the fainter meteors. That gives you a much better chance of seeing more shooting stars, including the bright fireballs and long trails the Perseids are famous for. ☄️

For the best view, get away from city lights, head outside after 11 PM, give your eyes time to adjust, and look northeast.

No telescope needed — just a dark sky, a comfortable spot, and a little patience. 🌌

Who’s staying up to watch tonight? 👀

Breastfeeding Awareness Month highlights the many health benefits of breastfeeding for both babies and parents. Breast milk provides essential nutrients and antibodies that help support a baby's growth and immune system, while breastfeeding can also promote bonding and offer health benefits for the breastfeeding parent. Every family's journey is unique, and access to evidence-based information, skilled lactation support, and a supportive community can make a meaningful difference.

This month, let's raise awareness, share trusted resources, and help create environments where families can make informed feeding decisions with confidence.
