TEXT4BABY TUESDAY - MARCH 22, 2016

March 22, 2016 Dear MARY, Happy Spring! During this season of growing, we also focus on the vital importance of proper nourishment in our population of expectant moms and their babies, as we recognizeNational Nutrition Month®. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has created a toolkitthat includes key messages, event ideas, and more to help you get involved! Text4baby provides moms with information about the importance of nutrition for their baby's growth from the earliest stages of pregnancy, throughout baby's first year. From reminding moms of the importance of fish consumption during pregnancy to the health benefits of breastfeeding, as well as providing them with resources to help with food security, such as the National Hunger Hotline and WIC, providers can rest assured that Text4baby moms will get the message about the importance of good nutrition for themselves and their babies, this month and year-round. Sincerely,  The Text4baby Team
