Start4Life provides essential information and free tools on healthy eating, keeping active, vitamin supplement and breastfeeding. The Start4Life ISP sends regular texts and emails detailing baby’s development through pregnancy and up to 42 months, and currently includes information from 11 weeks gestation onwards on the importance of being active during pregnancy.
