Breastfeeding can be overwhelming and physically demanding for a new mom, so it’s important to have her back!

Dads and partners play a huge role in breastfeeding success. And WIC is here to help you do so!

To help support your breastfeeding partner:
Lighten the chore load for your partner! Mom needs to focus on resting, healing, and nursing.
Anticipate mom’s needs during feeding, like cleaning bottles and breast pumps and bringing her snacks and water.
Share baby duties! Make sure to handle non-feeding tasks like diapering and burping while mom rests.

Want to learn more about how WIC can help you on your breastfeeding journey? Visit NNPH.org/WIC

Not every teen is va**ng and that says a lot. 💙

Many are choosing sports, friends, movement, and activities that keep them present and connected to what they love.

Choosing v**e free means more than avoiding something, it means showing up for the moments that actually matter.

Don’t throw computer monitors in the trash! 🙅 Monitors contain valuable materials that can be recovered and, especially in older models, components that require special handling.

They can be recycled! Recycling them through an approved electronics recycler keeps hazardous materials out of the landfill, conserves natural resources, and gives materials a second life! Our Recycling Guide has details and locations on local disposal spots. Head to the link in the comments to search!

Our Recycling Guide is made possible by Northern Nevada Public Health. 💙

Flavoring can make it easier for youth to try va**ng and harder for them to recognize the risks. What starts with curiosity can quickly turn into ni****ne addiction.

Contact tracing questions can get VERY personal.

If you ever think, “Wait, why do you need to know THAT?” It's because we want the best for you!

Our certified and specially trained disease investigators ask the sometimes-uncomfortable questions that help prevent the spread of communicable diseases — from TB, HIV/STIs, Hepatitis, and foodborne illness to respiratory illness, measles, and illnesses linked to animal bites.

Today, we're giving a BIG shoutout to NNPH's Sexual Health, Respiratory Illness, TB, and Communicable Disease Investigators for !

We're grateful for the work you do every day, and we want the best for you, too! 🥹 💙
