Smoking affects me too! Smoking can cause premature birth and increase the risk of infant respiratory diseases. Nicotine decreases the amount of oxygen an unborn baby receives. Second hand smoke has terrible effects on a new born baby. Smoking by mothers can cause Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). If a nursing mother smokes, her breast milk may contain nicotine, which is harmful to a baby.

Not just during pregnancy, but once I am born! 7

Physical, Verbal, and Emotional Abuse Violence and abuse are serious problems. Abuse can be physical, when someone hurts your body. It can be verbal or emotional, like cruel words or threats. No one—not even a family member—has the right to be violent or abusive. The law protects the rights of anyone who is being abused. Do not be afraid to get help.

Emotional Well-Being We all feel stressed or upset sometimes. Problems like fighting in the family, divorce, or moving to a new home can cause these feelings. If you are worried about your child, talk to him/her about his/her feelings.

Things You Can Do     

Reassure your child and hug them often. Keep to regular routines, kids feel more secure when they know what to expect. Let children ask questions and talk about their feelings, tell them it is OK to feel sad, scared, angry, or worried Keep young children away from TV programs/news that shows violence If your child continues to be upset, talk to his/her doctor or teacher 16

Drink water for thirst, And you should know, Water is healthy, It helps you grow! Did you know?

What about juice?

For children ages 0-5, water and milk are the best choices for healthy growth. Water is the best choice once a baby is weaned from milk.

Even 100% fruit juice contains a kind of sugar called “fructose.” Doctors recommend young children drink no more than ½ cup of juice per day and no fruit juice for infants under 6 months old.

The Commodity Supplemental Food Program is a federal program providing food boxes for pregnant women and senior citizens. Rural Human Services is the local distributor for Del Norte County.

CSFP is very similar to Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), another food supplement program designed for pregnant and nursing women and young children. The key difference is that WIC provides food coupons that are used at stores, while CSFP provides boxes of food directly to clients Participants can only enroll in one of these services at a time. You cannot qualify for both WIC and CSFP.

Why Choose to Immunize?

Immunizations Protect Children

Vaccines are Safe

Vaccines save lives and protect against the spread of disease.

Protect their friends, schoolmates, and others from those same diseases.

All vaccines must be tested by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Getting vaccinated is much better than getting the disease.

Protect your grandchildren, and future generations from diseases.

The FDA will not let a vaccine be given unless it has been proven to be safe and to work well.

Talk, Read, Sing! Language is central to all learning. Talk to your baby in full sentences and sing her special songs from the moment she is born. You will stimulate her mind and help her develop verbal skills. Introduce Your Baby to Books! Babies love the sound of words and your voice. As they get older, they’ll love to turn the pages, point to pictures, and help tell the story! Studies show that a child who is rarely spoken or read to in the early years often has difficulty mastering language skills later in life.
