Preeclampsia
Preeclampsia is a high blood pressure disease that can be serious and can develop any time between the second half of a woman’s pregnancy all the way through 6 weeks after she delivers.
Kangaroo Mother Care: Skin-to-Skin Contact
Kangaroo care is a method of holding your baby to your chest. Your baby wears only a diaper and possibly a hat and socks to help stay warm. They rest against your bare chest, allowing for skin-to-skin contact. This type of touch is a special experience that can help you and your baby bond.
Wisconsin WellTAP
The Wisconsin Well Testing Access Program (WellTAP) provides no-cost testing to private well users for whom a burden prevents them from testing their wells for Wisconsin’s most common groundwater contaminants.
Wisconsin Child Passenger Safety
When used and installed correctly, car seats and safety belts can prevent injuries and save lives. Correctly used child safety seats can reduce the risk of death by as much as 71 percent.
