SUMMARY:Jeffco WIC to offer Jeffco Breastfeeds Mini Fair
LOCATION:Jefferson County Public Health (JCPH), 645 Parfet Street, Lakewood CO
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:\n\nJeffco WIC to offer Jeffco Breastfeeds Mini Fair\n\n\nJeffco Breastfeed
 s Mini Fair is one of many services JCPH offers to breastfeeding moms\n\n\n
 Jefferson County, Colo. — When Andrea Perez-Loza had her first baby, she ha
 d trouble breastfeeding. She couldn’t breastfeed for very long, something s
 he said was largely because she didn’t have good support systems in place t
 o help her be successful. Perez-Loza isn’t alone — many moms and families s
 truggle with breastfeeding. That’s why Jeffco WIC, or the Supplemental Nutr
 ition Program for Women, Infants and Children, is hosting its second annual
  Jeffco Breastfeeds Mini Fair.\n\n\nAfter Perez-Loza started working at Jef
 fco WIC she saw how helpful the educators and dietitians were to the women 
 who came to the clinics in search of breastfeeding support. When she found 
 out she was pregnant with her second daughter, Perez-Loza knew she wanted t
 o give breastfeeding another try. With the help of WIC, she was successful 
 — so successful, in fact, that her little girl, Emmyrose, was still breastf
 eeding at 9 months. \n\n\nThat’s the kind of support every mother should ha
 ve, said Kelsey Rivera, RD, International Board Certified Lactation Consult
 ant (IBCLC) and Jefferson County WIC’s Breastfeeding Coordinator. That’s wh
 y last year, Rivera started the Jeffco Breastfeeds Mini Fair, a half-day ev
 ent all about normalizing, supporting and celebrating breastfeeding familie
 s and helping connect them to resources that can help make their lives easi
 er. \n\n\nThis year, the event will return to Jefferson County Public Healt
 h (JCPH), 645 Parfet Street in Lakewood, on August 17, 2018 from 9 a.m.-1 p
 .m. It will feature information, games and activities for all members of th
 e family. Everyone is invited — whether you are breastfeeding or not! Some 
 highlights of the event will be:\n\n\nFree 10-minute chair massages for mom
 s\nPrizes and giveaways, including brand new breast pumps\nA fire truck fro
 m West Metro Fire Department on site for kids\nFree activities, including f
 ace painting, kid’s games and a petting zoo\nFood and refreshments availabl
 e for purchase from vendors and food trucks\n\n\nWhy breastfeeding?\nBut wh
 at’s all the buzz about breastfeeding? Breast milk is like baby superfood, 
 Rivera said. \n“Breastfeeding is one of the best things you can do to keep 
 your little one healthy. Breast milk provides all the nutrients and vitamin
 s they need, as well as antibodies to help them fight off infection,” River
 a said. “It also changes as they grow and change. Whatever they need at cer
 tain times during their growth and development, they get from your breastmi
 lk.”\n\nAccording to the World Health Organization, breastfeeding contribut
 es to lifelong health benefits for both mom and baby. Adolescents and adult
 s who were breastfed as babies are less likely to be overweight or obese, l
 ess likely to have type 2 diabetes and even perform better on intelligence 
 tests. Women who breastfeed have reduced risk of breast and ovarian cancer,
  type 2 diabetes and postpartum depression.\n\n\nBut despite all these bene
 fits, stigma around breastfeeding — especially around breastfeeding in publ
 ic — still exists. “There are still people who don’t have support returning
  to the workplace while breastfeeding or pumping. There’s still plenty of w
 omen who don’t feel supported on their breastfeeding journey. We’re here fo
 r them,” Rivera said.\n\n\nSupporting moms where they are\nAnd even though 
 Rivera and her team at Jeffco WIC believe wholeheartedly in the promotion o
 f breastfeeding, they want all people from all walks of life, no matter how
  they feed, to know they are welcome.  \n\n\n“In a perfect world, ever
 y mother who could breastfeed would breastfeed. But we know some can’t, and
  in those cases, we never shame them,” Rivera said. “We never want someone 
 to think they aren’t welcome at Jefferson County WIC because they didn’t br
 eastfeed their first child, because they adopted a baby or because they’re 
 unsure if they want to breastfeed. We want to help you and your child be as
  healthy as possible, no matter how that looks for you.”\n\n\nTo learn more

 oms group once a week at no cost to participants. The group meets every Wed
 nesday from 10 a.m.-noon at Mothers’ Milk Bank, 5394 Marshall Street in Arv
 ada. \nBreastfeeding Classes\n\n\nJeffco WIC offers monthly, hour-long brea

 nThe Lakewood WIC Clinic was the first WIC clinic in Colorado to become a d
 onation and outreach center for the Arvada-based Mothers’ Milk Bank. JCPH s
 upports human milk donors by storing milk and preparing shipments to Mother
 s' Milk Bank. JCPH also performs the one-time blood draw for new donors. If
  you are breastfeeding and have an abundance of human milk, please consider
  becoming a donor. Call the Mothers' Milk Bank at 303-369-1888 or visit the
 ir website to find out how. For more information on dropping off 
 donor milk, please contact Kelsey Rivera at 303-239-7139. \n\n\nBreastfeedi
 ng-friendly childcare\nThe Community Health Services and Health Promotion a
 nd Lifestyle Management teams at JCPH work to make sure parents in the comm
 unity are supported in all parts of their breastfeeding journey, including 
 when they go back to work and begin taking their child to childcare. That’s
  why we work with childcare providers of all types and sizes, including FFN
  providers (Family, Friend and Neighbor) to help make sure they have the tr
 aining and resources necessary to support breastfeeding families. This incl
 udes training on providing proper storage and preparation of human milk, in
 formation on infant feedings and the benefits of private, healthy places fo
 r people to pump. To learn more about this program, please visit http://www
