Nya siwo wobiaa amewo enuenu¶

Will going to a hospital, WIC office, or family shelter cause Child Protective Services (CPS) to take my newborn away because I am unhoused?¶

No, seeking prenatal care, enrolling in WIC, or requesting a family shelter bed because you are unhoused does not cause CPS to remove your baby. Child welfare laws across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia distinguish poverty and homelessness from child abuse or neglect. Proactively asking a hospital social worker or 211 intake coordinator for a family shelter bed, maternity home placement, or emergency motel voucher demonstrates protective parenting capacity; child welfare intervention only occurs if a parent refuses all safe indoor shelter options and insists on taking a fragile newborn onto an unsafe street in extreme weather, or if there is untreated medical neglect.

Can I get free diapers, wipes, and baby clothes if SNAP (food stamps) and WIC do not cover diapers?¶

While SNAP EBT and WIC cards cover food and infant formula rather than diapers, every region has National Diaper Bank Network partners, Pregnancy Resource Centers, Health Care for the Homeless pediatric clinics, and St. Vincent de Paul chapters that distribute free newborn diapers, wipes, onesies, and wearable sleep sacks without requiring an ID or income audit. If you enroll in your state's TANF cash assistance program (which you qualify for upon verification of pregnancy or birth of a child), several states include a dedicated monthly Diaper Benefit Allowance on the cash side of your EBT card.

How do I keep pumped breastmilk or opened liquid formula safe if I do not have a refrigerator?¶

Freshly expressed breastmilk is rich in antibacterial antibodies and can remain safely at room temperature (up to 25 degrees Celsius / 77 degrees Fahrenheit) for up to 4 hours without refrigeration (or up to 24 hours inside an insulated cooler bag with frozen ice packs). In contrast, opened Ready-to-Feed liquid formula or mixed powdered formula contains zero antibodies: it can stay at room temperature for a maximum of 2 hours if untouched, and must be thrown away within 1 hour once the baby's mouth has touched the bottle nipple. When living without a fridge, prioritize direct breastfeeding or ask WIC for small 2-ounce or 8-ounce single-serving Ready-to-Feed liquid formula bottles so you only open what the baby drinks at one feeding.

What should I do if I am in active labor or my water just broke in a tent or car and I have no way to get to the hospital?¶

Call your local emergency number (911, 112, or 999) immediately and tell the dispatcher your location or nearest cross-street and state that your water has broken or you are in active labor. Paramedics carry sterile obstetrical delivery kits and neonatal warming blankets to either transport you to the nearest hospital Labor and Delivery unit or deliver the baby safely inside the heated ambulance if birth is imminent. Unlock your car door or turn on your phone flashlight outside your tent so the ambulance crew can spot you immediately.
