CHARLOTTE — AmeriHealth Caritas North Carolina hosted a community baby shower on Saturday, aiming to help local babies have “bright starts.”

What’s the ‘sad beige’ parenting trend — and does it affect infant development?

The event took place from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at AmeriHealth Caritas North Carolina Wellness and Opportunity Center on Wilkinson Boulevard.

The baby shower connected expectant mothers with valuable information and resources to support a healthy pregnancy and birth. It also featured fun activities designed to engage and educate participants. The event was a collaborative effort involving city, county, state, and private sector resources, all working towards the common goal of supporting local families.
