Everyday Health Group, a division of J2 Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: JCOM), announced today that it has acquired BabyCenter, the leading global digital pregnancy and parenting resource, from Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc., an affiliate of Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ).

BabyCenter has a global reach of more than 100 million people monthly, with 7 in 10 new and expectant moms using its various digital platforms in the United States. In addition to its flagship U.S. properties, BabyCenter operates 10 international versions in nine different languages along with multiple international app editions. BabyCenter’s editorial team creates award-winning content with input from an advisory board of doctors and other health professionals.

We look forward to continuing BabyCenter’s mission of supporting parents through the journey of pregnancy and early parenthood, and to leveraging our combined expertise to inform and empower our consumers with engaging digital experiences as they navigate the ever-evolving parenting landscape,” says Heidi Cho, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Everyday Health Group’s Pregnancy and Parenting business.

BabyCenter is delighted to join Everyday Health Group’s Pregnancy and Parenting division. Our vision has long been to create a world of healthy pregnancies, thriving children, and confident parents.
