How did babyvibe start?

As a new mom, founder and publisher Lisa Foeste was overwhelmed by all the information available to new parents. Like many others, she didn’t know what was the best stroller to buy, where to find the best, unique, quality and non-toxic gear for her new bundle of joy. As a journalist, Lisa knew she could help moms in the same boat by doing the research for them and presenting the findings in a fun yet sophisticated and brief fashion through an e-newsletter. Babyvibe started in 2006.
