OM DENNE EPISODE
The invisible mental load of early parenthood — tracking feeds, monitoring sleep, anticipating every need — is one of the most exhausting and least-talked-about realities of having a baby. Nanit's latest parent report pulls back the curtain on what's actually happening in homes across the country during those first overwhelming years.
Victoria Vaynberg is the Chief Customer and Marketing Officer at Nanit, the smart baby monitor and parenting platform used by millions of families — and she's spent her career at the intersection of technology, health data, and the moments that matter most to parents.
In this conversation, Victoria breaks down what Nanit actually does beyond watching over a crib, what the parent report data revealed that genuinely surprised her, and how the platform is designed to ease — not add to — the mental load parents already carry. She also shares how she thinks about the responsibility of being inside some of the most intimate moments of family life, and the natural through-line between keeping a baby safe at night and helping families navigate technology as kids get older.
Key insight: Nanit's parent report found that the mental and emotional weight of early parenthood is significantly underestimated — and that parents are actively looking for tools that give them confidence, not just information.
