A New Life: Series of booklets for parents revised
   
The Department of Health and Community Services announces the release of the newly revised A New Life booklets for parents.

The Department of Health and Community Services announces the release of the newly revised A New Life booklets for parents.

The booklets offer advice on a range of topics and titles include:

  • A Healthy Start

  • Nine Months of Changes

  • Becoming A Father

  • Breastfeeding: A Healthy Start for Life

  • Healthy Eating

  • Healthy Activity

  • Healthy Birthing

  • Healthy Family

This resource is intended for women and their families as they prepare for pregnancy, birth and early parenting.

The revised booklets are available through Health and Community Services offices and hospitals providing maternity services throughout the province. All prospective parents should have access to these booklets as early as possible in their pregnancy.

Physicians are encouraged to promote these booklets to parents at routine prenatal contacts. Early referral of pregnant women to Health and Community Services for education and support programs contributes to healthy pregnancy and birth outcomes.

For more information about this resource, contact your local Health and Community Services office.
