As the Chief Revenue Officer of Million Dollar Baby Co.—the beloved, family-founded nursery furniture brand behind Babyletto, Nursery Works, and others—Tracy Fong has helped shape how modern parents design their dream nurseries. With a background in Art History and East Asian Studies from Harvard, she brings an artful, storytelling-driven approach to every aspect of the business, from product innovation to parent-first design.

Now a new mom to 7-month-old Rocky, Tracy is discovering a whole new side of the brand she’s helped grow—and leaning on her own mix of design-savvy and wellness-minded essentials to navigate early motherhood. Below, she shares the Mother Essentials that are keeping her (and baby Rocky) rested, strong, and inspired.

Forma Pilates. “I’m so lucky to call Liana my friend. She’s been instrumental in getting me stronger than ever and building a community we all love. I’ve met so many wonderful women in class. I started in 2021 and going to class 4x a week has been my ritual! It grounds me.” FormaPilatesLA.com
