  New parenthood has two main challenges: figuring out the baby and coping with all of the baby’s stuff. Jamie Grayson focuses on the latter, helping parents select, acquire, and assemble all the necessary co-sleepers, car seats, bathing aids, and strollers without setting foot in a big-box baby store. Instead, Grayson, a former personal shopper at BuyBuyBaby and chief product reviewer at Strollertraffic .com, goes to clients’ apartments and helps them select products online that parents actually need (�yes� to the back-friendly Ergo infant carrier, �absolutely no� to the cute but unnecessary baby shoes). He’ll also set up and demonstrate how to use the products once they arrive�a service that’s even more essential when there’s a newborn vying for attention�and give referrals for lactation consultants, doulas, and prescreened nannies. Rates from $75 an hour or $350 a day. A consultation via e-mail is $100.
