From baby planning to kiddie proofing, it's a stately affair for Will & Kate
TORONTO, March 9, 2015 /CNW/ - The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's anticipated second child has cast a spotlight on the 'growing family'. Toronto experts Darling & Ninth and Kiddie Proofers chime in on this hot topic, with advice even commoners can use.
"The family dynamic undoubtedly changes to accommodate the needs of a second baby. New challenges exist, even for parents who've already been down the newborn path" says Claire Kilgour Hervey of Darling & Ninth, a boutique maternity and baby planning service that provides enriched experiences for its' clientele during this special, yet often overwhelming, time. "Kate has been known to turn down help in her domestic life. She may feel differently now, as do most moms of two or more." It's particularly challenging with two children under the age of two, or multiples. Parents-to-be can now seek assistance from baby planning services, a trending industry in cities like London, New York, Los Angeles and now Toronto.
Time is in short supply for growing families, especially when one or both parents are busy, working professionals. Outsourcing certain needs, like hiring the right staff, allows them to spend precious free time together as a family. Creating a support system may mean bringing on a night nurse, housekeeper, nanny, car seat installer or child proofing service, etc.
You don't need to be of royal blood to want the best for your family. A baby concierge service like Darling & Ninth can arrange everything from a baby shower (or "sprinkle" if you're Will and Kate), to purchasing a double stroller.

"Often times it's with child number two that parents really tune into safety proofing their home. Their attention is divided, increasing the risk of incidents." says David Drutz of Kiddie Proofers, the leading store in Canada that specializes strictly in child safety products and services like car seat installations and in-home consulting.
Anmer Hall in Norfolk, England, is where the Royal Family will be residing. The two-storey, ten bedroom mansion boasts some five fire places, a tennis court and two pools. Kiddie Proofers ran the "ultimate" estimate on safety requirements for an estate like this. Identifying the potential safety solutions only royals could undertake: 200 outlet plugs, 250 feet of pool fencing, 100 soft corners for furniture, 40 tethers, 52 door stops.
