- Your Whole Baby of MN hosted a table at the Mayday Festival in Minneapolis on May 6th. Christine, one of Your Whole Baby's Development Directors, who helped host the table said, "We had many conversations about the benefits of staying intact. Men asked about restoring, families learned about intact care, and mothers of all ages proudly told us they kept their sons whole." (Bottom left photo.)

Your Whole Baby Heads to Savannah for National Midwifery Conference!
|
|
|
Through generous donations from our many supporters, Your Whole Baby was able to raise nearly $4,000 and host our first informational booth at a national conference!
Five YWB representatives offered their time and expertise at the American College of Nurse-Midwives Annual Meeting in Savannah, GA, May 21-23. Over the course of the three-day exhibition, we dialogued with several hundred midwives, as well as professors, physicians, and doulas, about the importance of supplying clients with correct intact penis care information.
Many providers expressed their heartfelt thanks for our presence, and for providing easy to-use resources to help begin the circumcision conversation with their clients. Even those who shared that they perform or support circumcision STILL picked up our handouts and cards and listened to our pitch that all parents need to learn about functions of foreskin and how to care for the whole penis.
We’re eager to be at ACNM's next meeting in Washington, D.C., May 17-21, 2019! If you'd like help us achieve our goal, you can donate here (in the "special instructions" section, let us know your gift is intended for ACNM 2019). We look forward to expanding our YWB footprint, as we work to share our resources with healthcare providers all over the United States and the world.

From Robbie Tsvetkov, one of our booth volunteers: “It was an exhilarating experience. The crowd was most receptive and thankful that we were present, and I’ve never seen so many conscientious objector nurses in one place.”
