As well as providing information through these free orderable and downloadable resources, Start for Life also offers its email programme. The emails give NHS advice and support, tailored to the stage of a mother’s pregnancy or baby’s age. The personalised emails have been created to support mums, parents and carers throughout pregnancy and parenthood. Features of the Start for Life email programme include
- Different email programmes for mums, dads, partners and carers with tailored information for each.
- Emails can be translated into a range of different languages.
- Pregnancy emails contain information on baby’s development, changes in a woman’s body, plus tips and advice on labour and birth, finding antenatal classes, what foods to eat (and avoid) during pregnancy, exercising safely and bonding with baby.
- Post birth emails include advice on baby’s development, breast and bottle feeding, coping with tiredness, introducing solid foods and looking after mental wellbeing and more.
