Along the way, make a list of things to talk about with your doctor, midwife, or nurse. Add your questions to your Q-List so you can easily remember them at your next appointment.

After your baby is born, keep using the Start Smart for Your Baby app. You’ll get our newest tools for baby up to age two:
• Feeding, diaper and growth tracker
• Developmental milestones by age, plus dental health and nutrition tips
