<div>Matt,</div>
<div>Our Baby Basics Prenatal Health Literacy Program has a lower literacy pregnancy guide and complete prenatal health/health literacy curriculum that includes nutrition and breastfeeding information infused with health literacy skills. Our training and curriculum helps health educators understand how to use adult literacy teaching strategies when working with underserved expecting women either one-on-one or during group education. We help moms learn how to look up information in a book, make plans for nutrition and breastfeeding decisions, and write down questions for their provider. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>We are right now working on the Family's First Year Basics book and health literacy program that will include baby and family nutrition and a complete breastfeeding resource - as well as curriculum training etc. </div>

<div> I am starting the planning phase of a health literacy campaign targeting WIC participants in our county. I was wandering if anyone else has done a similiar program, or if anyone else is interested in this. I would love to share our ideas with you and discuss your ideas as we try to develop an effective program. Thank you.</div>
