About us
The BabyCentre vision: A world of healthy pregnancies, thriving children and confident parents.
BabyCenter is the world’s number 1 digital parenting resource, with information and support that reaches more than 100 million people monthly.
In the UK BabyCentre helps 8 in 10 new and expecting mums and reaches out to 2.5 million people a month. We’re the UK’s most trusted and recommended parenting and pregnancy website, ahead of the NHS, according to a survey of an independent panel of mums.
We also reach out to where our parents spend their time, with 734,000 fans and followers across our social channels.
We follow the principles of the NHS Information Standard and we're accredited by the Health on the Net Code for our expert content.
Our writers are health, pregnancy and parenting experts. Just as importantly, we are mums and dads living the subject first-hand, raising newborns, toddlers and older children.
We provide parents with support that's Remarkably Right® at every stage of pregnancy and child development. We walk the journey with mums and dads who visit our site, download the BabyCentre app, sign up for our emails and join our community. And we understand that every family is different. We give parents the information they need to make decisions that are right for their family.
We also join in with the fun stuff. Parents can find the perfect baby name, discover rainy day activities as well as swap parenting stories and share off-topic gossip with other mums and dads in our thriving, close-knit BabyCentre Community.
Mums and dads love us because we help them gain confidence, enjoy parenting more and let go of some of the guilt and worry that comes with being a parent.
In the UK, Thrive (formerly Content Consultants), a health editorial agency, has managed BabyCentre since it launched in 2000.
