Since 1987, with the founding of Amy's Babies, Spangler has focused on educating parents and health professionals about breastfeeding and infant/child nutrition through the development of books, brochures, posters, and videos. In 2000, the company launched its first e-commerce store to accommodate online purchases. The site was expanded in 2004 into a feature-driven news site and the company was renamed baby gooroo with the goal of becoming the definitive online resource for information related to breastfeeding, health, nutrition, and safety. Under Spangler’s leadership, baby gooroo has assembled a team of breastfeeding and parenting experts who provide readers with information that is accurate, balanced, and timely.[3]
Since the 1985 release of Breastfeeding: A Parent's Guide, baby gooroo has sold over two million copies of its three books to parents, healthcare facilities, and government agencies nationwide.
