Taking care of oneself through healthy habits and adequate food choices is essential during pregnancy. While this period brings important changes, community workers support future moms and empower them to face challenges, thus promoting mom and baby’s health
Alima supports and protects breastfeeding as it is the gold standard in terms of infant nutrition. Accompanying parents on their breastfeeding journey from pregnancy onwards by offering resources and ongoing support contributes to the achievement of their goals. Our support covers breastfeeding initiation, dealing with challenges and encouraging parents to take care of themselves.
Offering a positive and caring environment from baby’s first bites is essential to awaken their pleasure and curiosity towards eating. Introducing complementary foods should happen when the baby shows signs that they are ready, by offering safe and adapted foods.
Planning grocery purchases, reinforcing culinary skills and preventing food waste are all ways to optimize families’ resources while contributing to a healthy diet.
Supporting families requires sensitivity and awareness towards the diverse realities they experience. Also, by valuing the expertise of families regarding their unique reality, community workers can offer more kind and equitable support.
