Research. It’s all about the research.
When you’re starting a family, you can’t help but do the research. After all, it’s a whole new thing for you.
You find most of your time is taken up with thinking about and planning for this little human that hasn’t even arrived yet. You’re probably clearer on the colour scheme you want in your nursery than what you’re having for tea.
Days and weeks go by as you scroll through parenting websites, Instagram feeds, parent bloggers, YouTube videos and online advice hubs – look you’re even doing it now!
It’s fair to say, there’s a lot of advice out there. And a lot of reading involved. It’s a great way to make a start but sometimes you need to get out there an experience it first-hand.
That’s where we come in.
At Mamas & Papas, we do everything we can to make shopping for baby easier than it’s ever been. For instance, did you know we host free in store Personal Shopping sessions where we’ll help you figure out what you need? You just book a session, turn up, grab a cuppa (or something suitably caffeine-free) and tell us about yourself. Then we do the rest.
Or what about our handy travel bundles? Helping you get your pushchair, car seat, carrycot and all the little extras together, for an exclusively reasonable price?
And then there’s our car seat service. We can help you find your car seat, then show you how to fit it, so you’re always prepared.
We could go on.
But you see, we’re really quite useful to have around.
However, for the best slice of advice and insights, we have our Parents to Be events.
We run our Parents to Be events throughout the year at stores around the country. We get lots of expectant parents through the doors, ready to learn and carry on researching. Probably because it gives your thumb a break from all that scrolling!
And before you think it’s just us banging on about pushchairs or trying to get you to buy breast pumps you don’t need to – because it’s not. It’s about helping you feel ready to take on this next big adventure.
Bringing together experts from all over, we try to create a day where you learn new and exciting things about you, your bump and your little one to come. And if you can learn a bit more about the things you need, that’s a bonus.
The way it works is simple. We set our experts up around the store with different sessions set at different times, then you just wander round and sit in on the sessions that are relevant to you. If there’s nothing you don’t know about pregnancy Pilates, sit it out. Or duck into a session about nutrition.
With so many sessions on offer, you won’t be stuck for choice. You might even get the chance to grab an expert afterward and push them for some more tasty advice nuggets.
Not only that, but after the events, we work with the experts to create a series of free workshops on a variety of topics close to your heart – so you can carry on learning. Keep an eye out for them.
If you’re still a little unsure about our Parents to Be events, then just know this: you’re not alone. We help thousands of expectant mums and dads a year so we know this whole parenting thing can sometimes be a little…shall we say, daunting?
What’s great about our events is, it’s a chance to chat to other like-minded people. While we all experience pregnancy and parenting differently, sharing your thoughts, feelings and yes, even worries, can be just what you need. And what better place to do it?
We’ll also have drinks and refreshments on hand so you can tuck in and have a natter at the same time.
Come and see us – we really are quite useful to have around!
