Babies & Bumps is an intimate, conference-style event, featuring local businesses and top brands… plus info-packed, expert-led classes and demonstrations, shopping, complimentary activities, and giveaways galore. We kick off the day with a panel discussion from 10 to 11AM, and wrap from 3 to 4PM with internationally recognized baby gear expert and CPST, Jamie Grayson, who hosts an hour-long keynote on top gear categories (and give away a TON of baby gear!).

B&B is a small, family business with a big purpose – to educate and empower parents.

We believe that information + connections = empowerment! So, every aspect of our events is designed to connect you to valuable resources before you need them and to facilitate real conversations about all the things you may not even know you need to know about pregnancy, birth, and life with a baby.

Babies & Bumps is open to ALL moms, dads, parents-to-be, adoptive parents, people TTC, caregivers… anyone with a baby in their life or one on the way! Join us to get answers to your questions, gain confidence in your decisions, and resolve your fears.

No pressure. No judgment. Just support, resources, and community for you and your growing family.

On event day, you’ll find all of the following (and more!) under one roof:

• Kick-off Panel Discussion (10 to 11AM) – join our founder, Monica Infante, for a panel discussion with trusted local experts focused on topics parents often say they wish they’d known before having a baby. This session highlights key areas of support we intentionally bring to every Babies & Bumps event and offers practical perspective to help you get the most out of the day and the resources around you.*
• Exhibitors, Vendors, and Activities (11AM to 3PM) – we curate the event in order to showcase organizations that cater to new and soon-to-be parents, have positive reviews and good reputations, and have missions that are aligned with ours. Spend time on the floor to learn about local resources, shop, participate in complimentary activities, and sign up for classes, among other things.*
• Classes (11AM to 3PM) – we partner with experts to provide educational sessions on a wide range of topics related to pregnancy and parenting, like writing a birth plan, the fourth trimester and postpartum recovery, and baby’s first foods.*
• Demonstrations (11AM to 3PM) – these interactive sessions are designed to teach a skill that you can take home and put into practice, like infant CPR, picking the perfect breast pump, and comfort measures in labor.*
• Jamie Grayson (3 to 4PM) – visit with baby gear expert and Child Passenger Safety Technician, Jamie Grayson on the exhibitor floor between 11 AM and 2:15 PM to ask questions and get hands-on demonstrations of a range of baby gear. Then, join Jamie for his keynote – a 60-minute session from 3 to 4 PM, where he’ll walk attendees through products and safety basics in top baby gear categories like car seats, strollers, carriers, and high chairs (and give away prizes!).
• Amenities & convenience – we offer creature comforts like a lounge to give moms peace and privacy while nursing, pumping, and feeding. Food and beverages are also available for purchase at the hotel, and there are plenty of places to grab a quick bite nearby. This venue also offers free and plentiful parking!
• Opportunity to give back – attendees have a chance to win dozens of prizes generously donated by our sponsors, local businesses, and brands in our raffle. 100% of proceeds from raffle ticket sales are donated to WakeMed Mothers' Milk Bank.
• Fabulous giveaways!! – our lavish gift bags are packed with products from brands we love, we have a grand prize drawing, and there are even more prizes at Jamie Grayson’s keynote session. (Giveaways vary by ticket type.)

We can’t wait to see you!
