Many moms are eligible to receive or borrow breast pumps at no cost. 母乳喂养 mothers are also eligible to participate in 每各月 longer and can receive enhanced food packages, if they breastfeed exclusively.

If you are interested in breastfeeding your baby, MCHD 每各月 can help.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 1 in 6 Americans, more than 48,000,000 people, get sick from food every year. Of that number, 128,000 of them are hospitalized and 3,000 die every year from foodborne illness, or food poisoning.

Protect yourself and your family from foodborne illness by using four core practices:

Wash your hands before preparing food and anytime you touch raw meat, chicken, fish, eggs or any unclean surface.

Wash all utensils (cutting boards, knives, bowls, etc.) before using them to prepare food.

Wash all vegetables and fruits before eating or cooking them.

Store raw meat, chicken, fish and eggs separate from cooked foods, vegetables and ready-to-eat foods such as milk, cheese or deli meats.

You should also store any raw meat, chicken, fish or eggs on the bottom shelf of your refrigerator, or below any cooked foods, vegetables or ready-to-eat foods.

Use separate utensils for preparing raw foods and cooked foods or vegetables. Don't cross-contaminate.

Keep cold foods cold: 41°F (5°C) or below.

Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator, not at room temperature!
