Baby Chick is a digital media brand and pregnancy to parenthood resource founded by Nina Spears, “The Baby Chick”®. Nina is an expert in the pregnancy and baby world with 13 years of experience helping over 700 families during their pregnancies, births, and postpartum journeys. Over the years, Nina recognized that many of the parents she was working with were asking her the same questions. Because of this, she knew how valuable a helpful resource can be for moms. This is why she founded her company, Baby Chick, in 2015 — to support families with information so they can make educated decisions that are best for their families. We cover topics from pregnancy, birth, and postpartum to parenting, motherhood, and products.
Our mission at Baby Chick is to empower moms by providing an inclusive resource that educates, inspires, and uplifts mothers everywhere.

Nina Spears “The Baby Chick”
Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Nina is The Baby Chick® & Editor-in-Chief of Baby Chick®. Early in her career, Nina acquired her nickname from one of her birth doula clients, who lovingly referred to her as “The Baby Chick.” The “chick” who knows all about babies. The moniker has stuck ever since!
Nina received her baby planning certification in early 2011 and began attending births that same year. She received her birth doula and postpartum doula certifications from DONA International, her childbirth educator certification from ICEA, her Hynobabies Hypno-Doula certification, her license in massage therapy certifying in prenatal, labor induction, and postpartum massage, her infant massage instructor certification from Loving Touch, and her Prenatal Fitness Educator certification from ICEA. For over a decade, Nina has used her knowledge and expertise to teach and support hundreds of families during their pregnancies, at their births, and throughout their postpartum journeys. It has been her passion to educate and support families through their motherhood experiences, and she has done exactly that and continues to do so through Baby Chick, named after her epithet.
Having supported over 700 mothers, Nina is now sought after as a pregnancy, birth, and postpartum expert. She continues to make guest appearances on TV shows and podcasts, do speaking engagements, and review baby products while also running her company, Baby Chick. Nina is also a loving mother to her two young children, Liam and Lily. Nina and her husband, Brian, are the owners of Baby Chick®.
