At Mama Bear & Newborn Care, we believe that supporting children starts from day one and that includes educating parents. National Child Awareness Month, recognized every September, is a reminder to spotlight the needs of children in our community and encourage advocacy for their health, education, and safety.





Why It Matters—Especially in the Newborn Stage

Early interventions and a safe, nurturing environment from birth can have lifelong effects on a child’s development. Whether it’s ensuring your baby is sleeping safely or seeking lactation support, the little choices you make now lay a big foundation.

  • Safe Kids Mecklenburg County – Offers car seat checks and safety workshops.
