Bed And Britches, Etc. (B.A.B.E.)

What We Do

Welcome to Beds and Britches, Etc. (B.A.B.E.), an engaging community-based program dedicated to providing support and resources to expectant parents and families during this exciting time in their lives!

At B.A.B.E., we believe that the journey to parenthood should be both rewarding and nurturing. Our program allows you to earn valuable B.A.B.E. coupons that can be redeemed at any of our five convenient locations throughout Indianapolis. These coupons can help you purchase essential items for your baby — including diapers, car seats, clothing, high-chairs, strollers, cribs and more — ensuring you have everything you need as you prepare for your little one's arrival.

Participating in our program is a fulfilling experience that not only helps you secure essential items for your children up to the age of 5, but also encourages positive health practices for pregnant mothers and children. To get B.A.B.E coupons you must attend prenatal appointments, informative and engaging parenting classes and pediatric appointments — and take your child for immunizations. At check out the receptionist can distribute 2 coupons to every adult from the household who attends the appointments.

The B.A.B.E program aims to help improve family health and wellness while promoting growth and development for your child. In return for your commitment, you will earn B.A.B.E. coupons that acknowledge your efforts and support your family’s needs.

B.A.B.E. is more than just a program; it's a community of parents looking to connect, learn and grow together. Our community partners provide classes and health care that foster a sense of camaraderie, allowing you to meet other parents and share experiences in a supportive environment.

You’ll find resources not only on parenting topics but also on health and wellness, so you have the knowledge and tools necessary for positive family growth. See our brochure here.
