About mabebe
My Story
Hi, I'm Mirky! I'm a parent, a dreamer, and the creator of mabebe. I'm also the mom of two little explorers who've taught me more about patience, joy, and chaos than any book ever could.
Before my first baby arrived, I thought I was prepared. I had read the blogs, bookmarked the milestone charts, and even made a color-coded spreadsheet. But when those first days came, I was overwhelmed. There were so many tiny changes, so many "firsts", and yet I never seemed to know if we were on track, ahead, or just unique. And honestly, I often felt alone in that uncertainty.
How mabebe Was Born
mabebe started as a personal project in the middle of a sleepless night, with a baby on one arm and my laptop precariously balanced on the other. I wanted something simple and friendly that would simply tell me:
- What milestones should I look out for
- When I could expect them
- How a "successful" milestone looks like
- And when to check in with a doctor
But I didn't want another rigid checklist that would make me feel like my child was "behind" if we missed a date. I wanted something that felt more encouraging and gentle, but practical!
So I began designing mabebe: a warm, storybook-inspired tool for tracking milestones, celebrating wins, and learning what's typical for your child's age... without judgment.
What I Believe
Every baby's journey is unique
Development is not a race; it's a story unfolding at its own pace.
Parents deserve kindness, not pressure
Tracking should build confidence, not anxiety.
Small moments matter
First giggles, wobbly steps, or the way your baby grabs your finger - they're just as important as the "big" milestones.
Community makes us stronger
Parenting can feel lonely, but it doesn't have to be.
The Future of mabebe
Right now, mabebe is focused on core milestone tracking: simple, clear, and encouraging. But the vision is much bigger. In the future, I hope to bring parents even more ways to connect, learn, and celebrate.
Here's what's on the horizon:
- Custom Milestones: Add your own milestones to capture unique moments for your baby.
- Growth & Health Tracking: Keep gentle track of height, weight, and other important growth indicators.
- Photo & Video Moments: Save snapshots and clips alongside milestones, building your own digital baby storybook.
- Smart Insights: Get patterns, summaries, and suggestions tailored to your baby’s development journey.
- Multi-User Access: Invite partners, grandparents, and caregivers to view or contribute to your baby’s progress.
- Printable Keepsakes: Turn milestones into beautifully designed memory pages for albums or gifts.
mabebe will always stay true to its heart: a kind, supportive place for parents. But over time, it will grow with you. Just like our babies.
With love,
Mirky
