💜 National Breastfeeding Month Tip: Breastfeeding supports both baby and parent! It can release oxytocin, which may help reduce bleeding after childbirth, while breast milk is gentle and easier for babies to digest, potentially helping reduce tummy troubles. 🍼💜

Every feeding journey is unique, and every drop of support matters.

We’re excited to celebrate Andre as he steps into a new chapter focused on expanding and strengthening his work in fatherhood engagement across the country.

During his time with TrainingGrounds, Andre has brought passion, perspective, and a deep commitment to supporting fathers and families. We’re grateful for the impact he has had on our team, our programs, and the families we serve.

While Andre is moving on from his day-to-day role with TrainingGrounds, we’re excited about the opportunities ahead to continue collaborating and supporting the important work he is leading in the fatherhood space.

We’re proud to have been part of Andre’s journey and look forward to seeing all that’s ahead for him.

Join us in wishing Andre continued success as he takes this important work to the next level! 💙
