Nurture KC Executive Director, Tracy Russell, spoke in Topeka last week before the Senate Financial Institutions and Insurance Committee on behalf of Paid Leave for All Kansans. Providing parents with paid leave after the birth or adoption of a child is vital to thriving children. With her are Brenda Bandy, (Kansas Breastfeeding Coalition Inc.), Jan Marrs (Mize CPAs), and Kari Rinker (American Heart Association). Pictured in front of the newly unveiled mural honoring women's suffrage at the Topeka Capitol. Together, we’re advocating for policies that prioritize family well-being.

Congratulations to the winners of Nurture KC's 2024 Safe Sleep Contest!
In recognition of Safe Sleep Awareness Month, we invited our Healthy Start families to share photos of their little ones practicing the ABCs of safe sleep:

• Alone – Baby should sleep alone, in a separate space
• Back – It's safest to put babies to sleep on their backs
• Crib – Babies should always sleep in an empty crib or pack n' play
Each winner received a $50 gift card.

Thank you to everyone who participated and promoted safe sleep practices!
