A source for every tip
We never write “experts say”. We write who says it and why.
our story
January 2023, minus three degrees and four-month-old Zoe. Julia said “the thin one is fine”, Kuba insisted on the thick one, and grandma added a scarf over the phone. The walk never happened, but that evening the first sketch of Parento did.
We build the app we needed ourselves
Julia is a digital product designer and Kuba is a developer. Looking for an answer to a simple question, “how many layers?”, they found forums, conflicting advice and charts without sources. So they set out to build a tool that answers clearly and is honest about where the answer comes from.
From day one we have worked with midwives, paediatricians and babywearing consultants. Every suggestion in the app has an author and a source. When guidelines change, we update it within a week.

What we stand by
No scaremongering
Parents have had enough fear. We speak calmly, clearly and without exclamation marks.
Children’s data is not a product
No ads and no selling data. We earn from subscriptions and that will not change.
Family is a team
We design for mums, dads, grandparents and nannies. Everyone should know what to do.
