About Easy Baby Life

About The Website

Our founder started this project in 2006 when she was on maternal leave with her third child and wanted to reach out to other new parents around the globe with help to make the sometimes very tough life with a new baby just a little bit easier.

Easy Baby Life has grown over the years and now enjoys several thousand visitors every day from all over the world.

The website is owned by Swedish company Open Hands Media AB.

About Our Founder

As a new mom I was exhausted! Not all the time, but too often. But when our youngest child was born, things really were easier despite the fact that his sister was only 18 months older. There were things that I had learnt, tips that worked (and that didn't work) and I knew more about how to deal with and enjoy the first very intensive year.

That was when I decided to dedicate time to help other new parents, by starting a web site filled with practical been-there-done-that tips on baby care. Over time, Easy Baby Life has grown to also include evidence-based research and information about pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, baby care and simply coping with life as a new parent.

We (me and some fantastic, volunteering moms) also started our Baby Help Line a few years ago, where we answered several hundred questions. And a lot of visitors still offer their help and thoughts too, which is invaluable.

Since several questions and answers are about the health of babies, we also have a medical reference team, with two medical doctors who review all answers that are related to illness. They do not offer medical advice or diagnosis of any kind, but make sure that answers are relevant and complete from a medical perspective. Our two medical MDs are presented below.

I love children! And having studied cognitive behavioral models and therapy for children, I strongly believe in the importance of responding to your child's needs as well as focusing on positive reinforcement rather than on punishment. This foundation can probably be seen around here, for example through a lack of support of cry-it-out methods, disciplining of small children, and fear of spoiling babies.

But no matter what your thoughts are on these issues, I hope you will be able to find a lot of valuable help and information here to make daily life with your young family member as pleasant as possible.
