Hi, I’m Jan — the creator of Unique Baby Gear Ideas. I love helping expecting parents discover nursery décor inspiration and creative photo shoot ideas that make every stage of pregnancy feel beautiful.

Over the years, I’ve helped thousands of parents better understand crib models, identify missing hardware, and think through general options when replacement parts are needed. Most of the questions I see come from everyday situations like moves, storage cleanouts, or inherited cribs—not from inside knowledge of any manufacturer.

I’m not an employee, agent, or representative of any crib brand or retailer, and I don’t sell cribs, mattresses, or parts. I’m also not a medical, legal, or crib safety professional.
