What is a Baby Planner?
You’ve probably heard of wedding planning, but have you heard of baby planning? When you’re expecting your first baby, there are thousands of new things to learn – from picking a gynae to preparing a nursery to buying a stroller to learning the names of all the parts of baby bottles and breastpumps. It can be very overwhelming for couples – way more stressful than planning for that one big wedding.
Every family is different, and so is every new mum and new baby. Just like a concierge service, a Baby Planning Consultant does what you need her to do, and adds value to your decision-making processes by providing valuable insights as she shares pros and cons of different options. She can be someone to guide you through step-by-step from pregnancy to birth and after, or the one you call when you need a sanity check whether what you’re doing is right or whether the baby is behaving normally, or an extra pair of hands and legs when you just can’t find the time or energy to deal with it all.
Why Consider Baby Planning Services?
In Singapore, most new parents will discover that you can hire a lactation consultant to work you through some breastfeeding issues, a sleep training consultant to deal with baby sleeping routines, or even a babywearing consultant to help you with getting a good fit in various baby carrier brands. However, not only are each of these services costly on the pocket, they all require a lot of research which cost new parents time and energy – neither of which most new parents have to spare.
Baby planning services are hence an ideal solution as an experienced Baby Planner would be able to provide help in more than one area your family might need when dealing with a new addition to the family, and sometimes cover more aspects which the specialists mentioned above would. This is because an experience Baby Planning Consultant has helped different families deal with different babies in different ways – she is not pushing only one type of solution (eg. a fixed routine to get a baby to sleep alone in a quiet dark room), nor is she selling items she gets a commission for.
The experience is a roughly time-based, any or all-in-one concierge service, where you can work out with the Baby Planner what sort of help you need, and when you need it. As this is an all-new concept being offered in Singapore, feel free to browse through this website to understand better what our baby planning service is all about, and feel free to contact or chat with us to understand more.

I highly recommend Baby Planner SG. As this is our first pregnancy, we needed more practical guidance from Ms Ling's private prenatal/antenatal class. Chriz Larin
September 25, 2022I had consulted Yiling for help on exclusive pumping and was ready to give up breastfeeding altogether at 6 weeks postpartum as I was having so much difficulty with clogged ducts, supply and exhaustion. Yiling has basically saved my breastfeeding journey. She distills her knowledge and experience into practical tips & techniques that work. This is so valuable for me... read more

February 14, 2023 My wife and I attended the basic class, and that was sufficient to give us a great introduction to caring for the baby. Yiling was patient, understanding and thorough, and we greatly enjoyed the class! She came down to our house to conduct the class and to give us personalized tips as well, which was really helpful.

September 17, 2022Yiling was already helping me way before she started Baby Planner! We haven’t talked in a while but connected again online and she helped me so much on my exclusive pumping journey. I stretched my bf targets from 1 month to 4 months to 6… then eventually stopped at 16 months 🤣🤣honestly still can’t believe it myself and couldn’t have... read more

May 20, 2023 I've a 9m old baby girl. At the start, I had no idea what to do first or how to go about planning to welcome my baby. The consultant prepared me for symptoms to expect while pregnant, the childbirth process, bathing, swaddling, and soothing a newborn. I love how she'll be very patient in sharing all these information with me... read more Sophie Liew
February 20, 2021 My wife Sandra Faustina Lee and I absolutely appreciated our first Baby Planner session with Yi Ling, the private basic prenatal class. As first time parents, we both found the class materials and discussion on labour, breastfeeding, and baby care really helpful. The fun part is especially the hands-on practical aspect of baby care, just as preparing a swaddle, changing... read more Ashley Liew
January 9, 2022 - Had a session this afternoon with Baby Planner SG at the comfort of our own home and learned a lot just in two hours as first time parents to be! It’s like a customised antenatal class (or I would also call it private tuition on breastfeeding & baby care) where we were able to learn how to take care of... read more Lim Xue Er
August 7, 2021 Thank you Yiling for the private session at our place. The session was very informative and helpful for first time parents like us. We started off with theory then move on the hands-on part, which was really practical as we get to learn how to swaddle, changing diaper and bathe the baby. She also looked into the set up of... read more Yanhua Lin
October 1, 2022We consulted baby planner sg with regards to our baby’s sleep. Sleep consultant Yi Ling was very patient and prompt in answering our queries. We liked that she gave us very detailed steps and explained the rationale behind every step so we were able to conduct sleep training for our baby with confidence. We have learnt a lot from her... read more

April 24, 2023 Being a second time mum, I think what parents need is not another article on sleep training or breast feeding (google has more than enough contradictary articles and was info overload at least for me). What I loved about Baby Planner is they listen to your preferences and current practices, then provide constructive suggestions for reference - no judgement, no... read more Teo Hui Jing
