Baby Partners is a voluntary maternity program offered to all members. The program can support you throughout your pregnancy and beyond and get you the care your doctor or midwife recommends during pregnancy and postpartum periods.

Get paired with a dedicated care coordinator who will guide you through your pregnancy. Connect with local resources that can help with essential needs like food and diapers, both before and after your baby arrives. If you are feeling overwhelmed or experiencing symptoms of depression, Baby Partners can also connect you with a mental health professional for support.

Baby Partners works with many community organizations and programs that provide home visiting programs from pregnancy to your child’s 6th birthday.

These programs can also offer parenting tips on topics including:

  • How to navigate parenthood and your baby's milestones
  • Sleep guidance for both you and your little one
  • Reminders for crucial well-child checkups
  • Age-appropriate toy recommendations – and so much more!

Our Baby Partners team can help you connect with one of these programs in your area.

Milestones Matter

CDCs Milestone tracker app

Rolling over, taking a first step and playing peek-a-boo are examples of important developmental milestones. Tracking how your baby plays, learns, speaks and acts helps support their development.

Download the free CDC Milestone Tracker app for milestone checklists, tips, activities to support development and more!

If you have any questions or concerns about your child's development, speak to their doctor.
