About Parent.guide

A note from Lisa, our founder

“I created parent.guide to make the questions that come with motherhood feel less overwhelming. Our goal is to give other mothers clear, practical information, honest context and a calmer place to work out what is right for their own family. Parenting is personal; trustworthy guidance should help you feel informed, never judged.”

— Lisa Heitmann

Useful information for real tasks

Our library focuses on informational guides rather than product rankings: useful explanations, task-specific worksheets, clear source links, and the limits of what an online guide can tell you. A diagram or calculator should help with a real task, not stand in for evidence.

A smaller, more useful library

The current library contains sixteen focused guides across preparing for baby, feeding, nursery planning, everyday care, and family life. Closely related equipment questions are handled together so you can keep the whole decision in view. Each guide offers a concrete way to use the information: a worked example, a planning record, a checklist, or an interactive tool.

Our tools cover practical tasks such as a registry budget, hospital packing, room dimensions, childcare fees and pickup timing, and a backward morning schedule. Their assumptions and saving behavior appear beside the tool. You can also print a guide or a completed worksheet for a caregiver handoff.

How to read our guides

Look for the practical question, the source behind consequential claims, and any stated limitation. Your family's clinician, a qualified installer, or the exact manufacturer's instructions may be needed for decisions a webpage cannot make.
