Quote of the Week "Text4baby helped me so I knew what questions to ask the doctor when I had appointments while pregnant, and now questions to ask when my baby goes to the doctor.  It has also helped me to learn milestones with my baby and with breastfeeding, car seats, etc...."   - Shannon C. from Kimberly, WI (Cellcom user)          New Partners   Yale Health (New Haven, CT) Healthy Start Brooklyn (Brooklyn, NY) Child, Home, and Community (Doylestown, PA) Central Florida Health Care-Women and Children (Winter Haven, FL) COA Youth & Family Centers (Milwaukee, WI) Chicago Department of Public Health (Chicago, IL) Regional One Health (Memphis, TN)
