PEWAUKEE, Wis., Nov. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Wellness Network, parent company of the Newborn Channel and Your NICU Baby, is significantly expanding its reach to expectant and new Moms through the acquisition of Bundoo, a physician-driven parenting website. This acquisition positions The Wellness Network to engage expectant and new moms whenever and wherever they need it: online, at work, in their OB/GYN office and in the hospital. Together, the companies will provide unique, enhanced opportunities and increased reach for subscribers and carefully selected sponsors with broad distribution platforms providing accurate, non-biased information to parents and families.

With over 1,800+ helpful articles and over 130 easy to understand videos, The Wellness Network accommodates the changing digital media consumption habits of millennial moms, improves health literacy and supports doctors, nurses, health systems and employers in engaging women throughout pregnancy and into early childhood development years to positively influence satisfaction and healthy outcomes.
"Pairing Bundoo with our Newborn Channel and Your NICU Baby makes The Wellness Network a stronger business partner by helping hospitals and their affiliated OB/GYNs engage and educate parents in their communities and their facilities pre-admission, in hospital, and post discharge," said Dave Ross, CEO of The Wellness Network.
"We are excited to become part of The Wellness Network and enhance our position as an online resource expecting and new parents can trust and doctors can confidently recommend," said Stephanie Winans, CEO of Bundoo.
