Babies & Bumps Nashville 2024

Join us for Babies & Bumps Nashville 2024! We'll host our 3rd annual event in Nashville on Sunday, July 21st from 11 AM to 4 PM at the Franklin Marriott Cool Springs!

Babies & Bumps is a boutique, conference-style event, featuring backyard businesses and brands we believe in… plus info-packed, expert-led seminars and demonstrations, shopping, complimentary activities, and giveaways galore. And we’ll wrap the day with internationally recognized baby gear expert and CPST, Jamie Grayson, who will host an hour-long session on top gear categories (and give away even MORE prizes!)

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:

• Jamie Grayson & Baby Registry Lab – visit with baby gear expert and Child Passenger Safety Technician, Jamie Grayson on the exhibitor floor between 11 AM and 2:30 PM to ask questions and get hands-on demonstrations of a range of baby gear. Then, join Jamie for Baby Registry Lab – 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!).
• Exhibitors & vendors – 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. On event day, guests can learn about local resources, shop, and sign up for classes, among other things.
• Educational sessions – we partner with experts to provide classroom-style workshops and seminars 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. (Check out our schedule for the line-up, which is usually announced about a month before the event.)
• Demonstrations – 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. (Check out our schedule for the line-up, which is usually announced about a month before the event.)
• Amenities & convenience – we offer creature comforts like a feeding lounge for peace, quiet, nursing, and pumping. We also chose a venue with free and plentiful parking that’s easy to access! Food and beverages are also available for purchase at the hotel, and there are plenty of places to grab a quick bite nearby.
• Opportunity to give back – guests 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 a local or regional mission-driven organization that serves families and children.
• Fabulous giveaways!! – our lavish gift bags are packed with $100+ in products from brands we love, we have a grand prize drawing, and there are even more prizes at Jamie Grayson’s Baby Registry Lab. (Giveaways vary by ticket type.)

We can’t wait to see you!
