Lakeland Regional Health now offers expectant parents the latest education and research regarding pregnancy and newborn care through a convenient and reliable app.
The app, available through Google Play or the App Store, is divided into Prenatal Care, Labor & Birth, Postpartum Care, Breastfeeding, Formula Feeding, Newborn Care and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. This app provides a helpful complement to the expertise offered by local obstetric providers and provides an interactive way to keep track of contractions, kicks, hospital packing list, newborn feedings, baby’s measurements and children’s immunizations. It also offers expectant and new moms the ability to create Journal Entries.
“We are pleased to expand the educational offerings we provide to the women and families in our community,” said Lori Shea, Lakeland Regional Health Associate Vice President, Women’s and Children’s Services. “Being pregnant is a time of excitement and curiosity, and the volume of websites and apps offering pregnancy and parenting advice can sometimes be overwhelming. As a trusted source of women’s and children’s care in the community, Lakeland Regional Health’s new app provides expectant parents with a reliable and convenient space to access evidence-based tips and care.”
The app, powered by YoMingo®, is downloadable for free.
