November 17th is World Prematurity Day, a time to raise awareness about the global challenge of preterm birth and to honor the tiny fighters born too soon. Each year, 15 million babies are born prematurely, facing immense hurdles from the moment they enter the world. These babies—and their families—rely on the support, resources, and research that organizations like the March of Dimes provide to ensure every child gets the best possible start in life. Cindy Rahman, MBA and the team at the March of Dimes have been a beacon of hope, leading the fight for the health of all moms and babies. From groundbreaking research to policy advocacy and community programs, their efforts have been pivotal in improving care for preemies and advancing treatments to reduce premature birth rates. As we recognize the strength of these tiny warriors and their families, let's also take a moment to appreciate the tireless work of healthcare professionals, researchers, and advocates who make a difference every single day. Let’s continue supporting initiatives that help every baby reach full term and thrive. If you can, consider getting involved or donating to the March of Dimes. #WorldPrematurityDay #MarchOfDimes #MainlineMoments

Today March of Dimes released our 2024 Report Card, showcasing the state of mom and baby health in our country and in Texas. Since the initial release in 2008, one thing that has remained constant: an alarmingly high preterm birth rate. In Texas, 1 in 9 babies is born before 37 weeks gestation, and stark disparities exist between our Black and white babies. The US must prioritize the health of its moms and babies. We can change the tide of the maternal and infant health crisis by taking urgent action today to help ensure a healthy tomorrow for all families. We can all make a profound impact for today and future generations by investing in our communities, advocating for policy change, and raising funds for critical research and programs.

For many families, the holidays are a time of joy and celebration. But for #NICU families, it can be a season marked by worry, exhaustion, and the relentless dedication of pumping breast milk to support their baby’s fragile life. Breast milk isn’t just food for NICU babies—it’s a lifeline. And for parents navigating this journey, every drop is precious. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Hand To Hold, a nonprofit providing free emotional support and resources to NICU families when they need it most. This holiday season, we’re donating 10% of every Milk Cubby purchase to Hand to Hold. If you know a NICU family, here are 2 easy ways you can make a difference: 1. Gift a Milk Cubby directly to them to help them safely store and transport every ounce of life-saving breast milk. 2. Purchase one for a pumping parent—your thoughtful gift will also help support NICU families across the country through a donation to Hand to Hold. For this #NICUmom, the Milk Cubby became a source of peace and practicality during an incredibly challenging time. Order today for FREE delivery before Christmas https://buff.ly/3OqlHI0
