Our Mission
Babylist makes the journey to parenthood easier and less overwhelming with our helpful content, curated store and universal baby registry.
Our Story
In 2011, Natalie Gordon was pregnant with her first son and trying to create her baby registry. Though she knew exactly what she wanted—frozen meals, pet-sitting for her German Shepard and an eco-friendly diaper service—there wasn’t an online registry that fit the bill.
A former developer at Amazon, Natalie decided to create a better baby registry. She launched the product two weeks before Max was born.
Since then, Max has grown into a feisty six-year-old, and has been joined by his little brother, Ben. Babylist has grown a lot, too—like $100,000,000-in-gifts-given a lot. But our mission has remained the same: to make the journey to parenthood easier and less overwhelming.
Today 1 in 5 first-time families create a Babylist registry. Every month more than one million families rely on our content to make the most important decisions of pregnancy and early parenthood, and over $12MM in gifts are given using Babylist.
