Since 2012, the Mimo team has been obsessed with sleep, and, specifically, baby sleep. As we built Mimo, we knew that our users were using our products to try to figure out their baby’s sleep - looking for patterns and searching for insight. We knew our nightly summary was insufficient when it came to insights, so we started working to deliver a new, better kind of product that could give actual solutions to sleepless moms and dads.

Slowly, surely, we realized that we could deliver a personalized, self-learning sleep coach to parents, all via an app. Using huge amounts of sleep data, behavioral science, machine learning, clinical expertise, and love, we figured out that we could help identify a baby’s sleep patterns, his or her parent’s parenting style, key problems the family was facing, and then deliver a customized program for that family to do, night by night, to get more sleep within weeks. This was massively exciting to me, as I’ve talked with hundreds of parents who just. aren’t. sleeping., and I desperately wanted to find a way to help them - to help make exhausted eyes less bleary, to make the desperate need

Here’s the truth: When I walk through the door after work, I run right past my husband -- the man I chose to procreate with in the first place -- and straight to our four-month-old rolling around on his playmat. I shower my baby boy with kisses and coo “how was your day, cutie pie? Did you have a good day? Mommy missed you so much!” Meanwhile, my husband, who is currently on paternity leave, smiles at us sweetly but I barely notice.

When we found out we were expecting last year, I was elated. I fell even more in love with my husband, the only person in this world I wanted to start a family with. I also became a little obsessed with making sure we were working on our marriage and communication, especially as we forged ahead growing our family. My mentality has always been that it’s important to have a strong partnership with the person you choose to raise your children with, not only because it sets a good example for your kids, I think, but because it helps keep you sane. My mother was a single parent, who did an amazing job raising her

Before my son JB was born a few months ago, breastfeeding was something I knew I wanted to do -- I had read about the pretty stellar benefits, and, hey, free food for the baby. It wasn’t until I left the hospital exhausted and with nipples so shredded I can’t believe they didn’t fall off that I began to realize how intense nursing is. Each week brought new breastfeeding challenges -- just when I thought I had finally mastered it, a new roadblock would pop up and throw me completely off course. And then, after almost four months of maternity leave and breastfeeding exclusively, I went back to work, plagued with guilt over taking my boobs away from JB and anxiety about keeping up my supply.

Now, during the weekdays, my double electric pump is my new best friend. We have breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack together every single day. And while I’m really lucky to work at an awesome baby tech company with supportive colleagues who aren’t weirded out by my milk chilling in bottles next to their lunches in our company refrigerator, pumping at work is not always breeze.

This Sunday gives us the chance to appreciate and celebrate our fathers. A day dedicated to the men that have been there since day one. There are many ways Dads impact the lives of their kids: role models, motivators, protectors, life guides and best friends. Today we celebrate Rob Conway of Boston, MA, a man at the beginning of his parenting journey offering a unique style of fathership.

Dad to both Luke (4 years) and Liam (3), Rob grew up in Coleraine, Northern Ireland before moving to the US with his wife. A passionate and articulate Irishman, Rob is an example of the modern day “stay at home dad”, balancing school runs, after school sports practices & trips to the library with the demands of coaching the successful Boston College Men’s Rugby program.

As a rugby coach Rob is seen as a fierce tactician, leader and competitor. However away from this, a great relaxant is his love for drawing. Having met Rob through rugby, it was a pleasant surprise when he began to share some of his pieces on social media. These compositions were not related to rugby at all, no stock standard drawings of players in the heat
