Sixteenth Street Community Health Centers delivered over 700 babies in the last year in Milwaukee and Milwaukee and our midwives are nationally recognized by the American College of Nurse-Midwives for their excellent outcomes.
To promote prenatal care participation and health behaviors during pregnancy, our Parenting Resource Center provides incentives and education for new parents on a variety of positive, health-promoting activities.
We would love help gathering some items that will be given to new moms and their babies to set them up for a healthy life. Your organization can help us by hosting a Mom and Baby starter kit item drive.
Items include:
- thermometers
- diapers
- wipes
- receiving blankets
- onesies (long and short sleeves)
- socks, soaps, lotions, nail filers (paper)
- layettes
- swaddlers
- diaper rash cream
- towels
- wash cloths
- burp cloths
- thick blankets
- breast milk storage bags
- boppie pillows for breast feeding
- haakaa breast pumps
