Every new parent feels reassured by guidance from the experts and other parents. Baby Talk Magazine is like a friend to its readers, entertaining and informing them each month. It's the oldest magazine of its kind in the US and was first published in 1935. It's always been a free magazine and its target readership is the new mom. Approximately 5.5 million people read it every month, obtaining one through subscription or at a baby item retailer, maternity boutique or in an Obstetrics and Gynecology hospital unit, where it is available across the US. It is also distributed at Babies 'R' Us.
The magazine has three sister publications with Baby Talk Mom-to-Be, Baby Talk First Months and Parenting. The Parenting magazine web site reproduces some of the articles that appear in Baby Talk Magazine.
One of the regular columns in Baby Talk Magazine is written by Heidi Murkoff, an expert on parenting who has made many television appearances and is the author of a book series, the first volume being What to Expect When You're Expecting. There are competitions with prizes, reviews of baby products and consumer reports and features on medical matters and child development. Advice and ideas from labor through to baby's first year are covered. Every aspect of looking after a baby is considered. Readers' letters share their ideas and experiences. Some new moms are anxious about the transition to eating solid food and there are features on finger food and giving healthy snacks.
Lists are another helpful guide in the Baby Talk Magazine. The list of baby names shows what is popular each year. It's important for young moms to keep fit. Being a mom is hard work however, and some motivation may be needed. The magazine's web site has Workout Lists, which suggests the best iTunes to get the muscles moving. These fall into three categories; Walking, Running or the Elliptical Machine, and High Intensity Workouts.
The popular children's show, Sesame Street collaborated with the magazine through its product division, Sesame Beginnings, to produce an activities page. Sesame Beginnings has a line in books, crafts, and toys. Child development experts at the Sesame Workshop have contributed activities, illustrations and rhymes to the magazine's regular Snuggle Time page.
In 2005, the magazine won the ASME National Magazine Award (American Society of Magazine Editors) for the Personal Service category. This was awarded because of Baby Talk's article on breastfeeding.
The magazine is the host for the 'World's Biggest Playgroup', which was started in 2005. This is an annual event that moves to different locations in America, bringing new moms and their babies together for a fun, social day out with live entertainment, raffles, giveaway goods, and music classes. There is even valet parking for strollers! The event has taken place in New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles.
