Serving the Homefront
May 24th, 2008 by Lauren Vargas
A shout out to two of my favorite moms who have collaborated to make life easier for military service members and their families. As a former military dependent and currently serving the military in my communications role (real day time job), I know the struggles military families face daily. As working moms we are saddened about the moments we miss while we are away and working. Imagine being away for up to eighteen months without seeing your family.
Babble Soft and eMail our Military are partnering to offer free subscriptions to Baby Insights and Baby Say Cheese for active duty service members with newborns.
“Our goal at Babble Soft is to help strengthen and enhance connections between family members during that wonderful, yet chaotic time after a baby is born.” said Aruni Gunasegaram, founder and president of Babble Soft. “We support our troops and know how important it is for new parents who have to be away from their newborns to feel connected to what is going on at home. Partners can share experiences and photos with each other through Babble Soft’s unique web and mobile applications. As an added bonus, members of eMail our Military will have access to a discount code to purchase gift subscriptions for their other family members who may or may not have military ties.”
Baby Insights helps caregivers keep track of baby’s breast & bottle feeding, sleep periods, diaper changes, medicine doses, immunization records, as well as mom’s breastfeeding, pumping and medicine intake. Having important information stored in one location makes communication between parents, their nanny, babysitters, grandparents, or doctors seamless and reliable and gives new parents insight into their baby’s patterns to help with crucial baby
care decisions.
Baby Say Cheese lets you create a wonderful online baby’s first year photo album with milestones such as ‘first crawl, first smile, first word’ and family tree that you can share with friends and family. You can even send a fun, cute picture postcards of any of your baby’s milestones to anyone with an email address!

Thanks so much for spotlighting our efforts. We hope to reach out to more military families and make their lives a little bit easier if possible and we really appreciate all the help we can get sharing this great news. If we can make a difference in just a handful of families then we have certainly done our part.

Lauren -
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I have a friend who was deployed when her daughter was an infant and I know how she struggled with all of the communication issues as she had to prepare to leave while still nursing and then had to wean while she was deployed. Baby Insights sounds like it could have helped a lot during that transition………..
