“I am a first time mom, and Text4baby helped me determine questions to ask the doctor during pregnancy and now questions to ask baby’s pediatrician. I love knowing what milestones to expect, and the information about breastfeeding, car seats and other important topics is so helpful. Thanks, Text4baby

I’m so thankful I found Text4baby, especially since I had no idea how to raise a baby! All of the important little things that would have never crossed my mind were sent to me through the text messages. Text4baby is so helpful and awesome; I’m glad I found this service!
