Say hello to the Baby Dove parents...

Baby Dove spoke to parents across the world, collecting their unique insights on how to look after a baby to inspire you with yours. Here we put names to faces and introduce the moms and dads…and their experiences on caring for a baby.

"When you’re a new mom, there are a billion things to think about, so you don’t want to worry about what you put on the baby…knowing something is safe to use on your baby and is developed specifically for your baby is one less thing to think about.” - Kimberly

“Newborn babies sleep a lot – but are constantly waking up. There’s a good chance that they’re hungry, but if not, check the nappy and see if they’re too hot or too cold. And if they’re struggling to fall back asleep, try a white noise channel on YouTube. It’s remarkably soothing, for the parents as well as the baby.” - Chris

"I try not to get pressured by things I read or what other moms are saying or doing… I just focus on what I need to do for my kids and trust my intuition and instincts. I try and figure out what’s right for them.” – Carla

“Before becoming a parent, I had an idea of what kind of mother I wanted to be, with rules and behaviors. But, when the real thing happened, I discovered a new person in me. I was doing things in a completely different way than what I expected – the experience is so different from the expectation.” - Camila

“After only a few months of dating my future wife at the tender age of 21 we entered the often dangerous conversation of ‘if we had children what would we call them?’. “The first name we both suggested for a boy was Ethan. Fifteen years later we had a baby boy; no other name was considered – we still loved the name Ethan.” - Richard

“When it comes to keeping diaper rash away, I always aim to keep everything as clean and dry as possible. I try to make sure my son’s bottom is spotless after changing and wash the area thoroughly in the bath.” - Jenny

"My husband and I met at college, and one evening we got onto the topic: “if we had children what would their names be”….we agreed “Ethan” would be a great name. Roll forward 10 years and we’re expecting our 1st child. We remembered that conversation so Ethan was top of the boy’s names….however, our first born was a girl we named Mya. Roll forward another 5 years and we’re expecting our 2nd child and Ethan was born! So from naming to birth took 16 years!" - Denise
