Babies on the Homefront

Babies on the Homefront provides military and veteran parents ideas for enhancing everyday moments with their baby or toddler. Parents will find lots of material to add to their toolbox of strategies, including:

  • Behavior Tips—Ideas for handling those tougher parenting moments like tantrums, or those unique challenges like missing a deployed parent
  • PT (Play Time)—Ideas for fun and soothing activities that will keep your connection to your baby strong no matter where you are
  • At Ease (Self-Care)—Ideas to help you remember to take care of yourself so that you can take care of your baby
  • Help Me Grow (Your Child’s Development)—Information on your child’s development with tips for you to support your child as they grow
  • New! Private Messaging—Privately message your co-parent, sharing your family’s experiences. Send fun emojis including kisses, hugs, and high fives. Store photos and videos to share with your child, or send video

Parents can sort information by their young child’s age and specify their situation as At Home, Leaving Soon, Deployed, Home Again, a Veteran, or visiting a hospital. The app also allows quick access to a series of vodcasts on parenting for military and veteran families. ZERO TO THREE gratefully acknowledges USAA for their support, and the Robert R. McCormick Foundation for funding the original app.
