PRNewswire - December 14, 1999
BabyCenter.com is the leading Web site for new and expectant parents, providing trusted, high-quality information, a supportive online community, and an online baby store featuring thousands of products. Although the site is focused on providing a comprehensive online resource on pregnancy, baby, and parenting, BabyCenter.com is often broadly recognized for its high-quality health information. In fact, Media Metrix data for November 1999 shows BabyCenter.com to be the third largest of all health information sites, based on unique visitors.
"As a leader in the parenting category, we see the topics and issues of maternal and baby health as paramount to our site," said Matt Glickman, CEO of BabyCenter, Inc. "From preconception and pregnancy through the toddler years, new and expectant parents have many questions and much to learn about their health and their children's, and we make it a top priority to be a trusted and easily accessible resource for them. We are very flattered to be recognized for our achievements in the health arena and wish to thank the GII Awards for their acknowledgement."
BabyCenter.com continues to grow in scope and to attract a large and loyal online audience. In November 1999, BabyCenter.com passed 29 million page views per month. It distributes more than 3.5 million of its BabyCenter e-mail newsletters to registered parents each month.
