I absolutely love what you are doing with your guides, as a first time mum it is so overwhelming with all the information out there and it's quite hard to find useful info. I've just spent some time going through all the guides and researching different strollers, bath tubs, sleeping solutions and swaddles - I'm blown away by how helpful all of your information has been!
I think a lot of people are in the same boat as me in that in this day and age, you want to buy only what's useful and not splash out on all sorts of things you won't need - I hate to think of all the plastic that must go to waste thanks to the latest baby fads! That's something Nest Co's Master List is really helpful with - highlighting essentials and not-so-essentials which can be hard for a new parent to differentiate.
Thank you for your wonderful guides - I'm sure they will be hugely beneficial to many new mums just as they have been for me.
I’m finding the information included in your Guides to be so helpful. It has given me the opportunity to zero in on products that I never knew existed. I'm still learning so much as a soon to be first time mumma :-). Thank you!
I have been around a lot of babies … I am sure preparing for one will be a breeze”. Said this soon to be Mumma before the prep started. By 20 weeks I was overwhelmed and panicked …
How will I keep the nursery temperature safe? Strollers cost the same as a second-hand car, but which one is right for our family? What should I take to the hospital? What do I safely sleep my baby in – do they have sheets and blankets (I didn’t even know about sleeping bags before talking to Jo)?
I was determined to make the best choices for our baby and family. But I was working full time and didn’t have time to do hours of research.
Jo was such a huge help. She gave us information, options and things to consider which enabled our family to buy and borrow the things we needed to set up for our baby’s arrival. Because of Jo’s help every nesting decision we made has been perfect.
I've had a baby and now she's 3 months old :-) I wanted to let you know that you've been so helpful! At first the Guides seemed a bit daunting because of all the information, but once I got into it, I could see it was all relevant. I really appreciated the research you put into them, price ranges for different products, the pro's and con's of products, stores/sites I can visit for things such as clothes. Because my budget couldn't allow me to get things like the Mountain Buggy, your Guide gave me the tools to look for a stroller that would best suit me and my family. With winter approaching your Guide also helped with finding what we can use for sleeping and heating our room that is safe and convenient. I find the Guides showed me products that I didn't know exist such as the sleeping bags, but they make so much sense.
I am so grateful for your help, with not having family or friends with kids nearby, it's been a lot of 'going with the flow' it's been really great to just bring up the Guides when I have questions (especially the Hospital Checklist!!). It's really handy having these available on my phone.
"From a dad's point of view, this info was really handy for us as a family. It allowed our family to budget for what we needed so there were no surprises and helped my partner planning. Would recommend absolutely, takes the guess work out of everything and lets you just concentrate on surviving those first months. Saves you lots of time doing research!"
