“The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.” This is for all the babies & families who will come after. We love you. We support you. You are not alone. Thank you for your kind words 💛 #saulslight

Someone else will enjoy the shade tomorrow from the trees she’s planting today. So thankful to @sauls_light and @Nola_Hilf for bringing HB 146. I pray parents never have to bury their baby, but if they do this will help alleviate some of the financial struggles. #lalege #lagov

The Village of Healing Center welcomes our first term baby! We are so excited! A Black midwife and Black doula team took a patient with a history of three preterm births, and cared for mommy and baby to term delivery. Our work is certainly not done. We will continue with mo

Dear nurses, appropriate language services must be used for all patients who need language translation. I know it takes more time but it is legally and ethically required. Patients are harmed when nurses skip using a qualified interpreter or language line.

She said yes❤️❤️. Dan proposed Beth at the cot side ⁦⁩. What a moment for them and our first to witness on the neonatal unit. All the very best to the couple. (Shared with kind permission from parents). Another reason to love working with babies and families.

I once worked for an online-based school that wouldn’t let me do PT or WFH after 12 wks MAT leave…ONLINE!

My maternity leave ends tomorrow and I am sad and very not ready. I wish I could do part time for awhile. 12 weeks wasn’t enough.

Moment of truth. We are back today. Please tell the state senate to #BringTheMilkBack and vote yes to feeding our fragile babies by passing HB 651. #lalege #formulashortage #milkismedicine #liquidgold

Senate adjourns w/o taking 2/3 vote nec to bring HBs back to floor. We’ll be back to make sure Senate will vote to #BringTheMilkBack & pass HB 651. #NICU parents know what it’s like to wait. We’ve been thru the 🔥 already. Contact your Senator! #lalege #formulashortage #donormilk

It’s hard trying to find formula for my 10 month old who is also eating solid foods. I can’t imagine what it’s like for families with the most fragile babies who would benefit most from human donor milk. I hope that #lalege will vote to bring back #HB651 and feed LA babies.

HB 650 passed Senate unanimously; HB 651 needs a 2/3 vote from House & Senate to bring it back! 🍼 Ask your legislators to #bringbackthemilk & ensure human donor milk for our medically fragile babies! Vote yes to HB 651! #lalege #milkismedicine #formulashortage

LA Senate just convened after recess. What will they do? Will they #BringTheMilkBack and feed our medically fragile babies? Will they let the clock run out on feeding our babies? Will the Senate give us the 2/3 votes we need then pass HB 651? #lalege #formulashortage #liquidgold

Dear #lalege, Urgent! Please #BringTheMilkBack & feed NICU babies by bringing HB651 back to the floor for a vote. This bill would ensure eligible medically fragile babies covered by ALL insurance plans could receive life saving human donor milk for up to 2 months after discharge.

HB 650 passed the Senate unanimously but HB 651 was held after 6pm & needs a 2/3 vote from the House & Senate to bring it back! Ask your state reps to #bringbackthemilk & ensure human donor milk for our medically fragile babies! Vote yes to HB 651! @sauls_light @Nola_Hilf

1) This is terrible. 2) If you map closures to neighborhood poverty data, the fact that pools in wealthier neighborhoods are far likelier to be open than those in poor neighborhoods is very hard to miss. A graphic of that would be illuminating
