Pennsylvania WIC is assisting researchers at Boston University, Washington University in St. Louis, and the University of Virginia with a research study.

You may be eligible to participate in one of the research studies if:

• You are currently pregnant and less than 32 weeks along in your pregnancy
• You are 18 years of age or older

Researchers are evaluating infant care education programs called TodaysBaby. The TodaysBaby programs were developed by infant care experts and contain up-to-date information on baby sleep, baby feeding, or baby-parent interactions.

Participants receive baby care information and short videos delivered either by text message or through participating in a private Facebook group.

Participation includes:

• Receive free baby care educational videos and messages throughout your pregnancy and until your baby is 6 months old.
• Complete surveys and answer text message questions about how you plan to take care of your baby.
• Receive up to $50 in gift cards to thank you for your time.
