98. How to Borrow a Baby
from Parenthood Prep Hosted by Devon Clement
Do you want your niece, grandbaby, friend's baby, or favorite tiny human to come stay with you, but their parents are not exactly throwing the diaper bag in your direction? In this episode, I'm talking to the grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, and beloved baby-adjacent adults who want more time with the baby but need to understand what makes parents feel safe enough to say yes. Because borrowing a baby is not just about loving them, squeezing them, and buying them one adorable outfit too many. Parents need to know their baby will be safe, fed, rested, supervised, and returned without a suitcase full of chaos and laundry. I'm walking you through how to become the person parents happily trust with their kiddo, from learning the car seat and safe sleep rules to sticking to the baby's schedule, respecting their preferences, handling pickups and drop-offs, and not rolling your eyes when they remind you about choking hazards for the 400th time. If you want more baby time, this episode will help you become the kind of person parents are excited to hand the baby to again and again.
