What’s a Baby Planner? And what does a Baby Planner do? I’m sure these are the first 2 questions that enter your mind when you hear Baby Planner.
A Baby Planner is a personal consultant that helps families prepare for the arrival of their baby during their pregnancy or adoption and provide resources during pregnancy and beyond.
Baby Planners do what wedding planners do for brides; our role is to take away the stress, empower you and support you during these special times. It is important to understand that our services are all about you and what you want. We do as little or as much as you need.
Here is a great article on Baby Planners.
“If you think planning a wedding is overwhelming try walking into a baby superstore. The gum chewing, never-held-a-baby in his/her life salesperson will do his/her best to demonstrate the proper use of infant car seats, jogging strollers, and yes, even the breast pump you’ve read so much about. You quickly begin to realize that this isn’t the warm and fuzzy baby bonding experience you had so eagerly anticipated.
So you decide to go home and get online. At first, every picture tells a happily-ever-after story and everything you read makes perfect sense. You breathe a huge sigh of relief. But one site soon contradicts what you loved so much about another. And who knew there were so many opinions, philosophies, and stuff dedicated to all things baby? Hundreds of clicks and one carton of ice cream later, you’ve had enough.
While your partner sleeps soundly besides you, the mound of baby books on your nightstand beckon and your ever growing to do list is keeping you awake – there’s the crib to order, the stroller to choose, the diaper bag dilemma, not to mention getting your yet-to-be-named child onto the “right” pre-school waiting lists. You’re determined not to get stressed out by the number of decisions to make but guess what, you already are. So do what every hot mom-to-be does, pick up the phone, and call a baby planner. A baby what? A baby planner.
Baby planners are relative newcomers on the baby scene yet experienced moms everywhere wish this innovative service was around when they were expecting. The best baby planners are industry insiders. Yes, it will cost you, but what price can you put on your time, not to mention your sanity?
From diaper services to doulas, baby planners do their research. They will answer all your questions, your late night phone calls, and your casual concerns. Baby planners will hold your hand and guide you through the baby planning process so that it’s fab, not drab. They taste, touch, smell, sleep with, wear, carry, push and pull every possible baby product and/or service available from bottles and slings to personal chefs and pre-natal massage. They give honest opinions on the things you need and the things everyone tells you you need, but really don’t. Experienced baby planners provide up to date knowledge and expertise on all kinds of baby products from cribs to strollers to car seats to how to stock your nursery.
No matter if you’re a time starved professional working up until your water breaks, at home on bed rest, or simply in need of a little TLC, baby planners are there to take care of your every whim: want a mani/pedi or bikini wax at home one week before due date – done! Want to be absolutely certain that your nursery is fully stocked for that first month home from the hospital – no problem! Gourmet meals for you and your hubby those first few days home with the baby – yup, they do that, too!
