Meet Katie
I’m a professional maternity concierge, newborn care specialist, and baby gear expert.
As a mother of two daughters and an aunt to fourteen nieces and nephews, I understand the complexities (and joys!) of preparing for a new baby. I’m dedicated to helping modern, busy parents prepare their lives for the changes that come with a baby.

Parents Love The Baby Planner
As a first-time parent, I felt overwhelmed by the numerous options for every item on the registry, but Katie completely put me at ease. She meticulously reviewed all my registry items and created a detailed report showing which items to swap for better alternatives, which to remove to save money, and new items to add that I hadn’t even considered. The service basically paid for itself! She responded quickly to all my follow-up questions and offered additional research. Her knowledge of baby items is invaluable, and her service made me feel so much more confident in my choices with my baby shower approaching.

I loved everything!! Katie was very efficient. As soon as she got me in, she started working on my list and I got the email with the updates very quickly. The updated list had everything I needed for my family situation and I have actually been changing/purchasing the products. I loved that she checked in on me after a few days so I would actually start changing my registry, because it was something that I kept putting off.
Paula
Katie was a big help in thinking about our current lifestyle, what we were going to get as hand-me-downs, and things that you just don't think about as a first time parent, and how all those things impacted what we actually needed for baby. I thought the whole process was very efficient and I felt like my registry was "full" in the end. Katie had a really great ability of making recommendations, but not making us feel like we HAVE to take them. This also helped me feel more confident when I got lots of opinions from others! Also, the personalized video of our baby registry review was great and unexpected!

Baby Registry Review FAQs
Do I need to have a completed baby registry for this service?
I recommend that your baby registry be at least 70% complete before you purchase this service. I totally understand that selecting baby products can be really overwhelming, and sometimes, you just hit a stopping point and can’t continue. I’m here to help!
What site should I use to build my baby registry?
I recommend Babylist because it is the easiest for you as a parent to navigate and you can add items from any online retailer.
Who will be doing my review?
While we do have a team to help us with some of the background work at The Baby Planner. Katie, our founder, does all of the reviews personally to ensure the best quality assessment tailored uniquely to your family.
Can you save me money?
If saving money is your goal, and especially if you have a cluttered registry, we can often save you more than the cost of this service! Sometimes, if a registry is really bare, we may need to add cost to our recommendations to make sure you have the basics covered. However, we also offer options and advice for buying items secondhand, which can really save you money.
Can you build me a baby registry from scratch?
Absolutely! However, that is a different service to this one. This service requires an existing baby registry. If you’d like a “Done-For-You” baby registry you can find more information about that and all of our premium maternity concierge services here or go ahead and book a 30 minute free consultation with me here to get a custom package.
Maternity Concierge Services FAQs
What is a Baby Planner?
A Baby Planner (a.k.a. Maternity Concierge, Maternity Consultant, Pregnancy Consultant) is a non-biased support partner to help expecting parents prepare for their baby. I tailor my services to help with everything non-medical related to baby prep. I help you understand the baby gear you will need for a newborn. I look at your personal lifestyle and recommend reading and other resources like online classes to take. I also provide in-home services like nursery organization and baby planning consultations to help get the right stations and gear prepped for the baby. Most importantly, I am a support partner to help you sift through the clutter and overwhelm of online lists, opinions, and biases.
Why would I need a Baby Planner?
Wedding planners help you plan for a wedding right? Baby planners help you plan for a baby. A wedding is an event that transforms your life and a baby is an even bigger event that transforms your life. You are busy and this may be new territory for you. In the absence of a resource like a parent, sibling, or friend who is highly trusted and has the time and skills to help you plan, a maternity concierge is a great option. When it comes to baby gear, we have tried and tested it all either personally or through our wide network of parents and know what the best products are - you can find lists online but many of them are paid for by the very products on the lists so how do you know it’s trusted? As for resources and mental preparation, we have read all the books and continue to stay up to date on the latest data so we can tailor your reading lists to your lifestyle and clean out the clutter. This all saves you time and money so you don’t buy things you don’t need or read things that don’t fit your family’s lifestyle.
