Baby Planning Services
Newborn care is a vast topic spanning all phases between pregnancy to a year post-birth.
The compassionate and expert newborn care specialists, postpartum doulas, and overnight support staff at Gentle Giraffes are here to serve you throughout all these phases, to educate, guide, and support you in whatever ways you need us, whether you’re having your first baby or your fifth.
From the practical to the theoretical, we’ll help you when your baby is only a bump in your belly right through to delivery. We’ll help you know what to expect and how best to equip yourself in preparation. The vast list of “must-have” baby equipment? We’ll help you sort through that so that you can complete an online registry and set up the actual nursery in ample time for the baby’s arrival.
Baby Concierge Services
Whether you’re a newbie or a veteran parent, Gentle Giraffes’ baby concierge services can help promote a smooth transition into the latest phase and season of your growing family.
The options for baby products and services can be overwhelming, but our compassionate and expert staff will help you sort it out. Many of the services to help prepare and advise you we provide ourselves, but others we can’t provide, we can point you to, making referrals to outside resources that make sense for the unique needs of your particular family.
Baby Registry
The number and kind of baby products in today’s potential baby registries can be dizzying – rattles, bibs, car seats, tubs, sippy cups, bottle warmers, strollers, just to name a few, and in each of the categories, seemingly a thousand different choices. What should you choose? Is there an inherent right and wrong? Maybe, but you have no idea!
Let Gentle Giraffes help you make some good decisions for your baby registry so that when the baby arrives, you’ll be equipped with what you need, so that you can respond, instead of react, to the multiple choices before you!

Nursery Set-up
A huge number of beautiful new baby items now grace your nursery, but how best should they be arranged? What are the safest places for items? What set-up would contribute to the best flow, the best organization? What about lighting and a comfy chair for mom to feed or to sing lullabies?
Gentle Giraffes’ can help you think through all these questions according to both personal preferences and what might work best for your baby.
Gentle Giraffes has the knowledge and experience to know how and why placing the crib on a certain wall is best or where to hang the mobile so it’s a fun toy to play with, or how some nursing chairs are more supportive than others, to organizing the dressers and closets all before your little one arrives.
