Parents need to know that this series follows soon-to-be parents who spend extraordinary amounts of money on high-end baby products and services. The moms- and dads-to-be clearly love their babies, but the show's focus is really on how much they're spending on A-list celebrity designers and planners and brands like Juicy Couture, Ecologie, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, and more. Kids probably won't be clamoring to see this, but expectant and/or new parents may find it interesting in a guilty-pleasure way.
Positive messages:The parents-to-be are excited about their babies, but the show's real focus is on their extravagant spending on high-end goods and activities.
Positive role models:The parents love their kids, but they appear equally (if not more) focused on fashion and high-end living. Many seem to express pride in their ability and desire to spend so much money. Not too much diversity among the featured parents.
Consumerism:The series is all about parents-to-be spending lots of money on material things for themselves and their newborn. Brands like Juicy Couture, Ecologie, Gucci, and Dolce & Gabbana are prominently visible. Featured high-end baby stores include Bellini, Bel Bambini, and Blue Jeans Bar. A-list celebrity designers and planners are featured in every episode. Exclusive venues, like the Sunset Strip’s Ketchup, are also shown.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:Adults are shown drinking champagne and baby shower cocktails especially created for pregnant and non-pregnant partygoers.

I really love the show. I must admit. I am a really big fan of Heather Halley's. I loved her on the Grammy's, and I have a lot of games that she has voiced. You go Heather! Great Job!
