CJFHC staff members Videsha Joshi and Ellen Maughan joined community health advocates from across the state this week for the announcement by the New Jersey Healthy Communities Network of the opening of the first New Jersey Baby Café™, a dedicated space in Camden where breastfeeding parents can gather for free support, education, and connection in a welcoming environment. The NJHCN shared the news at “Nurturing New Jersey: Transforming Maternal, Paternal, Caregiver and Child Health” a gathering sponsored by the NJHCN and the Rutgers University Department of Family and Community Health Sciences. NJHCN brings together local, regional and statewide leaders to support communities in developing healthy environments for people to live, work, learn and play. The Baby Café will be led by Sindy Ferreira, MPH, IBCLC, in partnership with Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, with support from the NJHCN, New Jersey SNAP-Ed and the Rutgers Department of Family and Community Health Sciences.

Stillbirth claims the lives of over 21,000 babies, each year in the United States. Many of these deaths are preventable and are happening in healthy, low-risk pregnancies. This is why we need to pass the SHINE for Autumn Act, H.R. 5012/S. 2647 which would take critical steps to invest in improved stillbirth data collection, research, education, and awareness all of which are required to better understand stillbirth and identify strategies for prevention!
