June Meeting

ITS SUMMER!!!! Happy Father's Day!!! Today at our meeting we made Father's Day cards. They are so adorable. We enjoyed snacks and drinks and a new little friend Sean. We also discussed tanning and how we should protect ourselves and our babies from the sun. Just some pointers for you moms who couldn't make it:
1) Tanning Beds are a big NO-NO for pregnant moms
2) When pregnant use Sunscreen with at least and SPF of 15. Skin is more sensitive when prego.
3) Drink lots of Water!!! Keep yourself hydrated!!!
4) Sit in the shade if you feel Overheated!
5) If nursing, Chlorinated pools are fine for baby...if still concerned wash breast before nursing.
6) Insect repellent can be used on pregnant and nursing moms with no reported adverse events. Do not spray on face as may get into eyes.
7) Applying sunscreen, be careful when applying it to the breast-make sure baby doesn't get any in his mouth!
For more great tips, e-mail us. Have a great summer and be careful in the sun!!! Don't forget our next meeting on July 14th at 11am. Also Baby Fest is coming up so hope to see you all soon!!!!
