Plan-it Baby Founder Emma Goodbody has 20 years of childcare experience and is CRB checked and first aid trained. She has been a maternity nurse for 9 years and has cared for approximately 150 babies and their families, guiding them through those exciting and daunting first few months.
Always in demand through referrals and often called back to families for subsequent siblings, Emma founded Plan-it Baby to be able to help more parents at once, from advising on nursery equipment to reassuringly answering questions from worried first-time parents.
Emma has significant experience dealing with all aspects of breastfeeding, sleep training, on-demand and routine feeding, as well as working with reflux and other baby challenges. She specialises in advice from before birth up until babies are a year old. From her base in the Cotswolds, she has successfully helped many families in their own homes, on holiday or remotely via phone, email and video conferencing.
Taking our first child home from hospital should have been a moment of great anxiety, however, with great ease, Emma established a manageable routine that worked for everyone in our family and got him sleeping for eight hours, through the night from five and a half weeks old!

When our 3rd baby was born, her routine was sacrificed to the needs of the rest of the family, causing exhaustion and unhappiness for all involved! Emma came to help at 7 weeks and turned the situation around - she was calm, consistent and fun to have around - and considered about what would work for the whole family.
