Why we created 101 before one®

I’m Julie, and I built 101 before one® because my pediatrician simply said "feed your baby what you eat" and sent me on my way. I was a full-time working mom with no time to cook separate baby meals and no trustworthy place to turn. So I learned everything I could, built a team of pediatric specialists, and created the program I desperately needed. We're now trusted by 100,000+ families worldwide—and published by the American Academy of Pediatrics—because every parent deserves better than a shrug at a well visit.

Most families tell us 101 before one® is the last resource they needed—from 6 months to toddlerhood (and we have families on their second and third 101 baby already!) It's the one-time investment that grows with your family.
