Baby Planners
Helping Today’s Busy Families
Installing the car seat, finding a pediatrician, decorating and stocking the nursery, writing thank you notes, deciding on a stroller, researching daycares, the endless internet searches on things like diaper discounts and baby carriers—and don’t forget about those multiple trips to baby super centers uncovering new words like sleep sacks, play yards and Moses baskets. Once the big things are crossed off the to-do-list, new tasks sneak up on the new parent once the baby arrives!
Most expectant mothers can use a little help! Today’s moms-to-be have demanding jobs that simply won’t afford the time or energy to read every baby magazine and learn all of the latest products and trends. Too many women are without close friends with young babies who have the time to help them. And try as we may, it isn’t always easy to rely on our own mother’s experience or even friends with older children. The baby industry is ever changing and it’s important to be able to count on someone with experience and resources. In comes the baby planner! If you’re unfamiliar with the title, a baby planner is for the expectant parent, what the wedding planner is for the bride. We help you plan for the big day while minimizing the stress!
The primary goal of a baby planner is to help expectant parents navigate the unknown world of baby. Baby planners do everything from assisting parents with their registry to debriefing parents on the endless supply of baby products. We can point pregnant women to everything from prenatal fitness classes in the area to the best pediatricians to local coffee shops that cater to moms with young kids. Clients can receive guidance in natural and organic baby care, sleep consultations, baby proofing, and assistance with hospital preparations.
A good baby planner can help parents save money by not only revealing the best places to buy certain baby products, but will help you figure out what best suits your needs and budget. Too many new parents buy things they don’t need and miss some more important items; a baby planner helps parents sift through the masses of products. Similarly, parents oftentimes save the more important things for the last minute. How many dads out there have installed the car seat in the hospital parking lot? Baby planners help expectant parents prioritize which reduces stress and allows parents to enjoy their precious arrival!
In addition, many baby planners offer concierge services that can range from meal delivery to taking care of the house and pet during the hospital stay. This is especially a great resource for parents of preemies who may not have had time to finish preparing for the baby.
Certainly parents expecting a second or third child will also benefit from a baby planner’s services. Not only will the concierge services be appreciated, but parents can find out the best double strollers and even learn tips on how to minimize the disruption a newborn can be to other siblings.
While there is no greater joy than parenthood, planning for a new baby and, of course, caring for a baby brings about anxiety, confusion, stress and exhaustion. Let a baby planner bring about that much needed clarity, order and peace!
