7 Baby Basics Testimonials: Practitioners The training not only clarified the concept for the Baby Basics book, but also addressed the real issues pregnant women and expectant dads may encounter during a pregnancy and, how outreach workers, service providers and program representatives can assist with decreasing the barriers to care. Simply paging through a Baby Basics book gives you an opportunity to see how worthwhile it is for a participant, but going through the training really makes the book (and other supplemental information such as the Moms Club Curriculum) a useful tool. It is one thing to provide a participant with reading materials, as our program is very accustomed to doing, but it is quite another to make that reading material approachable and effective for the participant.

Baby Basics Testimonials: Moms I really enjoyed participating in the program.

Each time I have a question for my doctor I write it in my planner and I can take it with me!

8 Baby Basics Testimonials: Moms I really enjoyed participating in the program. It gave me knowledge about pregnancy I didn t experience with my first child. Each time I have a question for my doctor I write it in my planner and I can take it with me! I really like the book. I read it from cover to cover. It taught me that not only was I not receiving the care that I was supposed to, but neither was my baby so I changed hospitals. Baby Basics has helped me by giving me lots and lots of information about being pregnant. It is teaching me how to do right and positive things for the daughter I am carrying. And the planner helps me to keep better records.
