About Doug

Hi, I'm Doug, husband to Sanjay and proud dad to Arya. We are so excited to be expecting identical twins this summer and become a family of 5!

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this life for me as a young LGBTQ person, and I couldn’t be more thankful. Being a parent has been the most rewarding journey I have ever been on and it just gets better every day!

What’s your top parenting tip?

We have always found that having a consistent nighttime routine helps all of us to get a good night's sleep. We have recently added Nanit’s new Sound Machine and Nightlight as part of that routine, combined with the Nanit Camera to give us peace of mind in the evening after bedtime.
