The TodaysBaby intervention is comprised of: 1) Text message-delivered, short educational videos in the first 2 months after birth, with each video timed to match content addressing anticipated barriers and facilitators to adhering to guidelines (e.g. parental concerns that infant will choke while supine). Participants will also have access to a web portal where intervention videos will be maintained. 2) Text queries regarding safe sleep practices, which collect data on sleep practices in near real-time and provide reinforcement of adherence. Mothers will receive 1-2 text message questions weekly that assess sleep practices in near real-time .
