Text4Baby
The National Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition (HMHB) launched text4baby, a free mobile information service that provides pregnant women and new moms with information to help them care for their health and give their babies the best possible start in life. Women who sign up for the service by texting BABY to 511411 (or BEBE in Spanish) will receive free SMS text messages each week, timed to their due date or baby’s date of birth.
Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Montana hopes all Montana Moms will sign up today. The service is 100% free and will really help you to have the information you need to have the best beginning for your baby.
TIME Magazine featured an article about text4baby in its May 3,2010 issue! The article highlights the program’s objectives with emphasis on the public-private partnership involved in launching “the first free, large-scale foray into mobile health education in the U.S.”

Montana has a small population and a vast rural/frontier landscape but that does not mean expectant parents cannot get the most current info on pre-natal issues. Text4baby is a free service seemingly designed with Montana in mind. Parents can text 'BABY' to 511411 and begin receiving 3 free text messages per week timed to your due date and through baby's first birthday. Montana parents are one of the top users of this service in the nation (per capita).
We hope you will sign up today and tell your friends. |
