What is a baby planner?
A baby planner is usually a consultant who helps parents prepare for the arrival of a baby. Services include helping create a baby registry, managing a baby shower, planning a nursery, and sorting through the endless product choices to find the ideal solution for the parents-to-be. Services can be tailored to the client or bought as fixed packages. Concierge services are often also offered. Baby planners often describe themselves as ‘what a wedding planner is to a bride-to-be, a baby planner is to a parent-to-be.’
Why should I hire one?
Baby planners can help make your pregnancy be less stressful and free up time to do what you really want to do. Parents-to-be are often overwhelmed by all the decisions needed to be made before baby arrives. Today, we are working more hours and are busier than in generations past, so hiring someone to help you save many hours of time is a smart move.
Couldn't my family and friends help me?
Sure! Baby planning itself is not new. It is often done with the help of mothers, grandmothers, sisters, other family and friends, but today, many first-time parents are not living near their families nor do they have access to their family and friends’ time like in past generations.
The baby industry is ever changing as well with new products and recalls every day. What worked for your mother 30 years ago or your friend five years ago will not necessary work for you. DC Baby Planners will give you unbiased facts and the lowdown on planning for your little love's arrival.
