About the .BABY domain

What is the .BABY domain?

The .baby is a generic top-level domain with an unusual origin: it was originally applied for by Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc., the multinational baby products company, as part of ICANN's new gTLD programme. In 2015, management rights passed to XYZ.COM LLC, the same registry that operates .xyz, and the extension remained in limited use until it opened to public registration in 2019. Today anyone or any company can register a .baby domain, although its identity remains tied to the world of baby care, parenting and early childhood.
