Hatch and Grow: Sustainable Baby Products with Health and Education
It started with a group of young pediatricians in 2015. They wanted to find a way to continue helping parents beyond the short clinic visits, and they envisioned a book of resource materials. With how busy life became, the project was never completed.
Fast forward to the pandemic, when everyone was on lockdown. The pediatricians had busy practices and some were now moms.
They noticed two things. First, there’s so much uncertainty around being a new mom. In 2020, most moms were turning to social media and are inundated with messages on the “right” way to be a mom, creating so much stress, guilt and pressure.
Second, they noticed that many baby products may be harmful for the environment – not to mention not safe for babies!
Thus Hatch and Grow was born, to create safe and sustainable baby products and ease the transition into becoming a new parent.
By bundling safe, sustainable, and eco-friendly products with parenting and baby care courses, Hatch and Grow promotes the following Good Life Goals:
Good Life Goal 3: to learn about and share ways to stay healthy through courses and books on baby care and parenting, value mental health and well-being especially of new parents through encouragement and empowerment, and advocating for medical care and vaccinations for all.
Good Life Goal 9: sustainable development and businesses that respect people and planet.
In the case of Hatch and Grow, the Good Life Goals are used to innovate products and services as well as engage customers.
