What your baby’s day looks like

Going back to work after having a baby is hard. We get it, we’ve been there. We want your baby’s day here to feel a lot like home, so we follow your baby’s schedule for bottles, naps, and diapers.

Send in breastmilk or formula and we’ll warm bottles when your baby is hungry. In between, we read, sing, play, do tummy time, and talk to them a lot. When it’s nice out, we take the babies on stroller walks under our big beech tree.

Every bottle, nap, and diaper goes in the Brightwheel app with photos, so you can check in from work any time.

Our babies don’t sit in the same bouncer all day. They get held, they get floor time and tummy time, and they move around. You should pick up a happy, clean, well-cared-for baby every single day.

A typical day

  • Drop-off. Tell us how last night’s sleep went and when the last bottle was.
  • All day. Bottles, naps, and diapers whenever your baby needs them.
  • Play. Reading, music, play, and tummy time.
  • Outside. Stroller walks under the beech tree when it’s nice out.
  • Pickup. The day’s already in the app, so pickup is just hugs and heading home.
