Calm and Gerber team up to support parents and baby
Calm has teamed up with Gerber, a leader in early childhood nutrition, to release a soothing collection of sleep and relaxation content designed to support parents.
Parents of young children know that balancing their own life with caring for their newborn babies can be both rewarding and a struggle. The celebration of key milestones can come with consistent sleep disruption, the propensity to worry, and the responsibilities of your day-job, all creating a perfect storm of stress and anxiety.
Many Calm users are parents or soon to be parents, and over the years, we’ve heard loud and clear that there’s a need for resources aimed at soothing the busy minds of moms and dads as they embark on this important journey of parenthood.
That’s why we’ve teamed up with Gerber, a leader in early childhood nutrition, on a special, “For Parents” collection of content, available exclusively on the Calm App. Like Calm, Gerber recognized that late-night hours are often when parents need the most support. To meet that need, they have created The Dream Feed – a go-to source filled with free access to articles, sleep and baby expert advice, real stories and tips from parents.
Did You Know?
After the birth of a newborn, men lose an average of 13 minutes per night, while women lose over an hour of sleep each night. Studies indicate that parental sleep schedules don’t return to pre-pregnancy level until their oldest child is six years old.
New mothers are also at risk for insomnia, daytime sleepiness, anxiety, depression, non-refreshing sleep, and fatigue. Sleep deprivation can worsen symptoms of postpartum depression, which affects one in eight mothers.
Our “For Parents” collection, curated by Gerber, is comprised of a variety of different sleep and relaxation content, including:
Conscious Parenting (Calm Masterclass)
Self-Compassion: Showing Empathy for Yourself and Your Changing Emotional State (Meditations and Mindful Moments)
A Quick Reset: Bringing Yourself Back to the Present (Quick Meditations and Breathing Exercises)
Presence & Acceptance: Identifying Sources of Stress (Meditations)
Mindful Relationships: Understanding and Being Present for Yourself and Others (Meditations)
Getting Rest: Relaxing Your Mind, Recharging and Preparing Yourself for Sleep (Meditations, Sleep Stories and Soundscapes)
For The Whole Family: Mindfulness and Relaxation Parents and Children (Kids Meditations and Sleep Stories)
The “For Parents” collection is designed to be listened to any time or any place you need a little rest and respite: in between midnight feedings or after you’ve put your baby down for a nap.
The partnership is part of a larger campaign by Gerber called The Dream Feed by Gerber, which will provide parents with a wealth of resources across gerber.com/thedreamfeed and Gerber social media channels.
