Yep, babies are everywhere. They seem to be all I can think about lately. No, I’m not pregnant (as we joyfully have our hands full with sweet baby Sutton), but it seems that all of my girlfriends, coworkers or family members are expecting a visit from the stork. Even my very best friend is pregnant with her first child! As Sutton continues to grow into a strong, smart and capable baby boy, I couldn’t think of a more special time to share the gift of health with all those pregnant or who have recently had a baby. Whether your baby spent 71 days in the NICU or went home after 71 hours, it’s so important to share knowledge and offer education. With text4baby, that’s easier than ever.
Presented by the National Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition (HMHB) and sponsored by Johnson and Johnson, text4baby (http://text4baby.org/) utilizes text messaging to improve maternal and newborn health via your cell phone. Despite decades of public health outreach and education, more than 500,000 babies are born prematurely and an estimated 28,000 children die before their first birthday each year in the U.S. To help pregnant women and new moms get information about caring for their health and giving their babies the best possible start in life, text4baby offers the first health text messaging service in the U.S. This great initiative supports moms by providing accurate, text-length health information and resources by sending mothers three text messages per week until their baby is one year old. Text4baby even offers a weekly newsletter, provides helpful contact numbers and has fun contests that allow all moms to get involved. It’s simple and easy to sign up, and the best part is it’s FREE and won’t take away from your text message limit (penny pinchers, anyone?). To register, just text the word BABY (or BEBE for Spanish) to the number 511411. Enjoy!
