How convenient would it be to have information right at your fingertips?!  In an effort to join the ever-growing world of technology, The Shelby County Health Department created the FREE B4BabyLife mobile app to encourage healthy pregnancies and healthy families as well as to help prevent infant mortality.

This app is a great resource for information on infant mortality reduction topics, including what to expect before, during and after pregnancy. Once inside B4BabyLife, you will find information about the importance of breastfeeding, early prenatal care, exercise, family planning, health insurance coverage, healthy homes, injury prevention, newborn screenings, nutrition, parenting classes, pre-term labor, postpartum depression, safe sleep practices, tobacco cessation, well-child exams, WIC and many other topics.

B4BabyLife also provides hours and locations of all public health clinics in Shelby County.

The B4BabyLife mobile app is FREE for both Android and iPhone users. To get B4BabyLife, simply go to your app store on your device and type in “B4BabyLife.”

Tell your co-workers. Tell your friends. Tell your family members. Are you a nurse or physician? Be sure to tell your patients.
