Chaunie Brusie
Chaunie Brusie writes about parenting from both a clinical and everyday perspective, combining her background as a registered nurse with extensive experience as a health and parenting writer. Her coverage at Parents focuses on health-informed product recommendations and service pieces that help families solve concrete problems with babies and young children. She also writes widely across health and parenting outlets, bringing the same direct, practical tone to medically complex topics and day-to-day decisions.
Health-grounded baby and pregnancy explainers
Brusie draws on labor and delivery nursing experience to explain what is happening with a baby’s body and how parents can respond in simple steps. In articles on issues such as babies crying after every feeding, she breaks down common causes like colic, reflux, or food sensitivities, then walks through actions such as positioning, burping techniques, and when to seek medical care. Her pregnancy health pieces cover subjects like viral infections and risk factors, translating clinical concerns into plain-language takeaways that expectant parents can follow.
Across this work, she stays close to evidence-based guidance but presents it in a way that feels conversational, avoiding jargon while still respecting the seriousness of medical decisions.
Product guides and shopping coverage for new parents
Brusie’s work for Parents includes product roundups built around specific moments in a family’s life, such as shopping during major online sales events with a newborn at home. In her Amazon Prime Day guide for parents with a baby right now, she highlights deals starting at low price points and organizes picks around immediate needs like feeding, sleep, and everyday care, making it easy to see what is actually useful in the first months.[anchor] Professional bios note that she covers health and parenting products more broadly, testing and reviewing items with attention to safety, practicality, and how they fit into real routines.
Her product journalism favors clear explanations of what a item does, why it matters, and which kind of family situation it suits, rather than high-level trend coverage.
Sleep solutions and everyday parenting challenges
Sleep and routine challenges are a recurring thread in Brusie’s parenting work.
In a feature on products that helped a 5-year-old finally sleep through the night in her own bed, she combines personal experience with a curated set of tools, positioning each recommendation as one part of a broader strategy to reclaim the parental bed and improve a child’s confidence. Other parenting coverage presents baby care from both clinical and personal angles, guiding readers through newborn routines and everyday hurdles with specific, reassuring advice rather than broad generalities.
She tends to frame these pieces around a concrete struggle - a child not sleeping alone, a baby unsettled after feedings - then ties together behavioral tips, product support, and an understanding of the underlying health dynamics.
Broader health, finance, and lifestyle angles
Beyond strictly medical or product-focused stories, Brusie writes about adjacent topics such as family finance, wellness, and lifestyle, always with parenting at the center. Her professional profiles describe a portfolio that spans health content for everyday life, women’s health, and travel and lifestyle stories, giving her a wide view of how family decisions intersect with money, work, and wellbeing. This breadth allows her to treat parenting as part of a larger system of pressures and choices, while still anchoring each piece in a specific, solvable issue.
Across outlets, Brusie’s distinguishing trait is the way she merges clinical training, high-volume reporting experience, and product literacy into concise service journalism. She tends to favor clear problem–solution structures, practical steps, and concrete recommendations, making her a fit for stories that sit at the intersection of baby and pregnancy health, sleep and routines, and parenting products.
