We are a team of parents obsessed with the future of parenting, and our life’s work is protecting and promoting babies’ health. HealthyBaby is the culmination of all that we have learned as parents, activists, and leaders and want to share...because every baby deserves to be a healthy, happy, and connected.

BECAUSE BABY IS SOAKING IT ALL IN...
...their environment, their interactions, the products we put on their precious skin...baby is soaking it all in. That’s why we’re creating the ideal future for baby with rigorously designed research-based essentials and education designed to promote babies’ cognitive development in these early years when the brain is making over 1 million neural connections per second.

We’ve distilled their expertise into an actionable library of developmental advice and inspiration for families everywhere to make living a connected life easier.
