Texts for Moms




This morning Johnny and I talked about a program offered to new moms that texts you info on childcare. Here is the link.
From Time magazine article...
"Since its debut in February, text4baby has enrolled more than 30,000 users by getting them to text BABY (or, for the Spanish version, BEBE) to 511411 and punch in their due date. The first message they receive urges them to see a doctor early in their pregnancy and to keep all appointments. The texts, written by the National Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition and sent until the baby's first birthday, stress such things as good nutrition, immunization and safe sleeping. (Babies go on their backs, not their bellies.)"

Sign up for it and let us know how it goes and if it was helpful.
