Maggie Bailey has utilized the services of the WakeMed Mothers' Milk Bank three times. ✔️Immediately after her son's birth when she was producing only colostrum, and her son needed nutrients ✔️During her son's growth spurt when her supply was suddenly insufficient ✔️When she developed painful mastitis and could not nurse 🤱 Those scary days are behind Maggie. Now her baby is big and strong, and her milk supply is abundant. With so much milk stored away and such profound gratitude for the WakeMed Mothers' Milk Bank, she decided to become a donor. 📚 Read her story and learn how you, too, can support infants in need – whether through human milk donation or funds to the #WakeMedFoundation. 👉 https://ow.ly/WjVU50RGg2a . . #HumanMilk #DonorMilk #WakeMedMothersMilkBank #WorldHumanMilkDonationDay #WakeMed #WakeCountyNC

While celebrating #JulyFourth, you may be gearing up for some fun festivities with a round of fireworks. To enjoy them safely, here are some DIY tips for lighting them at home: 🎆 1. Never disassemble or try to make your own fireworks (leave it to the pros). 2. Never point lit sparklers or fireworks at others (or yourself). 3. Light fireworks on dry ground and fire-resistant areas. 4. Avoid lighting several fireworks at the same time. 🎆 For more firework safety, read our blog: https://ow.ly/5ROB50SiTHz . . #WakeMed #Raleigh #RaleighNC #July4 #Fireworks #FireworkSafety #WakeCounty
