About Our Program
Our Vision
Baby & Me is part of Breathe Well's initiative that is dedicated to freeing expectant mothers and their families from the clutches of tobacco and nicotine dependence. Our goal is to ignite motivation, foster empowerment, and drive change in our community.
Our program is designed to provide comprehensive support for pregnant individuals aiming to quit tobacco and nicotine use during pregnancy and maintain their smoke-free status after childbirth.
Biomarker Feedback
At each visit, participants and eligible support partners are tested using a hand-hand carbon monoxide (CO) monitor. Saliva Testing is used as an alternative method.
Free Diapers & Wipes
Once tobacco/nicotine-free participants qualify to receive a voucher that can be used to purchase diapers and/or baby wipes in participating stores. Additionally, we provide B.A.B.E coupons and connect you with Lutheran EMS for a free car seat an carrier. Vouchers and car seat & carrier can be earned at certain sessions.
For Providers
Our Baby and Me tobacco-free program welcomes referrals from our valued community partners. By participating, patients and clients not only gain essential resources for tobacco cessation but also access personalized support, educational materials, and a community of individuals committed to a healthier, smoke-free lifestyle. Join us in fostering a tobacco-free community!
What You Can Do
Providers can offer various forms of assistance, such as counseling, nicotine replacement therapy, or referrals to specialized smoking cessation programs. Tailoring these interventions to the individual needs and preferences of pregnant women is crucial in ensuring their success. Additionally, healthcare providers can monitor and track the progress of their patients, offering ongoing encouragement and guidance throughout the pregnancy.
Non-providers & Providers:
Always remember the AAR model. Ask a patient about their tobacco/nicotine use, Advise them to quit for their health and their babies health, and Refer them to our Baby & Me Program.
