Maternal health providers, Bean2Baby needs your help...

What can you do with Bean2Baby?

It takes a village

If you work in a maternal health, community-based or patient advocacy organization, we invite you to use and adapt our master To-do List to your clients’ needs. Here are some ideas: Want to translate it to another language? Want to tailor it with local resources for your city? Or add important Tasks relevant to families living with a disability or chronic illness? Go right ahead.

The pregnancy and parenting journey is different for everyone. These spreadsheets are intended to be a collaborative work where caring providers like yourself can share knowledge about diverse resources in a format specifically designed to facilitate appropriate interventions along the continuum of care — the right help, at the right time, in the right way. Please come back and share your Bean2Baby To-do List here.

There should be no advertisements, product placements or spam emails to clutter up anyone’s life — just good, solid advice about what to do and when.

We’ve made a master To-do List of generally applicable Tasks, but you know your community the best and are free to tailor your version as you wish. We recommend that you maintain it as a timeline-organized list of actionable Tasks, and would love it if you share your work back with the Bean2Baby community, but your only legal requirement is that you keep it strictly not-for-profit and use it for good and not evil.
