Glow Launches Glow Baby – The Definitive Baby Tracking App
The company also announces more than three million users and 200,000
pregnancies
SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Glow,
a data science company focused on women’s reproductive health and
education, announced today the launch of Glow Baby – the company’s
fourth app, joining Eve
by Glow, Glow,
and Glow
Nurture. Building off of industry-firsts, such as postpartum support
and male fertility, the company’s newest app focuses on keeping baby
happy and healthy and supporting parents with information on baby’s
first year at their fingertips, real-time tracking and developmental
milestones.
The company also announced a partnership with Baby
411 author and leading pediatrician, Dr. Ari Brown, who advised and
helped create Glow Baby. Dr. Brown is contributing exclusive Baby 411
content to the app and will join Glow’s board
of medical advisors. Dr. John Palma, pediatrician at Stanford, will
also join the board.
“There are so many sources of information that it can be overwhelming
for parents. As a pediatrician, I want parents to access accurate,
useful advice that empowers them instead of causing undue anxiety. Glow
Baby is the most comprehensive baby app I’ve seen and should be a
must-have for all parents,” said Dr. Ari Brown, Baby 411 author and
leading pediatrician. “No other app offers the personalized and
medically-backed insights available in Glow Baby to put parents minds at
ease through the crucial milestones and health concerns of the first
year.”
Following in the footsteps of Eve, Glow, and Nurture, Glow Baby provides
personalized, data-driven insights, real-time tracking and critical
information for new parents. What sets Glow Baby apart from others are
the following unique features:
-
Developmental Milestones: Glow Baby is the only app on the
market to track important developmental milestones in addition to the
day-to-day care of feedings, sleep, pees and poops. These
developmental elements are crucial to knowing whether or not your baby
is healthy and on track. As such, Glow Baby tracks 101 specific
developmental milestones – based on CDC and medical advisors input –
during that first year, which can prompt parents to bring potential
concerns to their child’s doctor. These milestones are broken down by
monthly time frames and can be saved with a date and photo. Examples
include:- Makes eye contact, smiles back at parents
- Lifts head without assistance
- Tries to engage and get attention
- Reaches and grabs with both hands
- Babbles, copies and imitates noises
- Moves things smoothly from one hand to the other
- Responds to own name
- Gets to sitting position without help
- Searches for things that you hide
- Uses simple gestures (like shakes head “no,” waves “bye bye”)
Additional key features include:

daily care and development and receive personalized insights backed by
our medical
advisory board.-
