The Baby Express Email Parent Newsletter Signup Form


How it works

It is simple! If your baby is a newborn or up to 12 months old, just provide your email address* and your baby’s birth date in the form below, and you will receive a free email newsletter from MDE’s MNParentsKnow.info. Each month the email newsletter, The Baby Express, will come to your email inbox in the form of a letter from "your baby" on the day of your child's monthly birthday.


Each Baby Express letter will:

  • Describe your baby's growth and learning, customized for your baby's stage of development.
  • Give you a few simple suggestions about what you can do as a parent to support your baby's growing and learning.
  • Give you a glimpse of what to expect next in your baby's development.
  • Provide you with important research-based child development information from the University of Minnesota in a fun, easy-to-understand style!
