Kettering Health has teamed up with the Cincinnati Bengals to launch the Bengals Babies program, a new way to support our tiniest fans and their parents. The effort aims to provide support and resources to new parents while creating a sense of community to help them navigate the early stages of parenthood. 

Teams at OB-GYN offices will be sharing program information with patients, and Maternity Units will be helping patients sign up. Keep reading to learn more about the program, and find out if someone you know may be eligible.  

What do people receive as part of the program? 

The program provides helpful resources and tips to ensure a safe and confident start to parenthood, whether it’s information about safe sleep and tummy time or tips to help parents care for themselves and navigate back-to-work anxiety. Parents who participate in the program will also receive exclusive resources like a Bengals Babies-branded sleep sack and monthly milestone cards. 

Who’s eligible to join? Is it free? 

Anyone who delivers a baby on or after September 10 can sign up for this free program. 

How does someone sign up? 

After a baby is born, the patient’s birth registrar will present a Bengals Babies registration card to the parents before their discharge from the hospital. The card will have a unique code and a link for the parents to sign up online.

Kettering Health maternity centers kicked off the program on September 17, and Bengals Center Ted Karras went to Kettering Health Washington Township to visit with the newest Bengals Babies families and present them with their welcome draft kit. Members of the Kettering Health women’s health team also spoke about the importance of safe sleep practices and the benefits the program will provide to newborns and their families.
