Health Babies Day is September 14
Albion, Michigan — Local families with little ones should put Healthy Babies Day on their calendar. The free event will be Saturday, September 14, 2019, at Albion Community Center, 225 East Watson Street (the former Albion High School) in Albion. Those who should attend include parents who are expecting, those who have children up to 18-months-old, as well as their caregivers. Families from Albion and surrounding communities are invited.
“We encourage all to join us-women who are pregnant for the first or the fifth time, dads with toddlers, grandmas and grandpas, babysitters,” said Jessica Mitchell, Healthy Babies Day Coordinator. “Healthy Babies Day has the topics that matter to growing families. You will learn so much!”
Topics include:
- how to properly buckle a little one in a car seat;
- how to safely put a baby in his/her crib;
- what to do if your baby doesn’t stop crying;
- how to prevent choking and what choking hazards are;
- the truth about vaccines; and
- tips on good nutrition, as well as so much more pre-natal and post-natal care.
More than 25 organizations will offer free samples and resources. All guests will be able to receive flu shots. The event will last from 11 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. Registration closes at 12:30 p.m. Guests need to register to earn goodie bags and have the chance to win door prizes. Lunch will be provided at no cost.
Healthy Babies Day of Albion’s mission is connecting families with community health information and resources to promote the health and safety of babies. It is in partnership with the Albion Health Care Alliance, First United Methodist Church, and the Healthy Babies Day Committee. It is sponsored by The Albion-Homer United Way, the Albion College Student Volunteer Bureau, the Baker College Student of Nursing, Molina Healthcare of Michigan, Aetna Better Health of Michigan, and the Rotary Club of Albion.
