What is Birthbox About?

It is said in every delivery there are two births. For each time a baby is born, a new mother is also born. We sub the word mother for parent because we believe parenting is an inclusive activity and a team sport. Though the person who carries the baby undoubtedly faces more changes, it’s a transformative experience for everyone involved. The culture of motherhood can feel exclusive to those who identify as transgender or non-binary, and we think that should change.

WHO WE ARE

Birthbox is a company that supports new moms in the period directly following labor and delivery. We believe helping moms feel supported should be as easy as placing an order on Amazon, yet for so many of us it’s not.

WHY WE DO THIS

1 in 9 new mothers in the U.S.experience postpartum depression and we believe in many cases it’s because there aren’t enough readily available resources to support new moms as they begin navigating #momlife.

There’s so much pressure from all sides: to maintain the life you led before you got pregnant, while simultaneously trying to heal from labor, understand and keep up with the changes your body undergoes, produce enough milk for baby, be sexy for your partner, maintain friendships and hold things together at work. It’s overwhelming. 

WHAT WE DO

Birthbox supports through our products and relationships. We ease the transition through every stage of the 4th trimester.

We believe that if ever there was a time for you to have the best of everything you need, it’s now, when you are creating the foundation for a new little life. That’s why our boxes, deliver the best of the many many products available to you, at the time they are the most relevant to you. 

HOW WE DO THIS

Birthbox products are natural, plant based and made from organic ingredients with no extra additives so you can rest assured that what you’re putting on and in your body at this most delicate time is aligned with your goal to create and sustain life. 

Each box is themed for every stage of the 4th trimester and includes the best products to ease your transition. Our boxes are curated by moms who’ve tested what’s inside and given it their stamp of approval. 

We actively avoid substances known to be unsafe for babies and pregnant people. We are women of color owned-and-operated. We are not a baby company; we are 100-percent focused on the birthing person and improving how they experience the 4th trimester. We exist so that you can focus your limited attention on--what is for most us--the most important job of your life.

Thanks for considering us in your journey to motherhood. Or if you’re here browsing for a friend or your surrogate we also thank you for wanting to support those you love. Drop us a line, slide into the DMs or browse the collection.
