If you’re thinking that it’s a better idea to skip sleep than to wake up early… think again!
Preparing for our first expo was an extremely fun (and EXTREMELY tiring) experience. Thank goodness the three of us who went on this trip in particular can function seemingly well on little to no sleep! Across the entire trip as a whole, we probably averaged somewhere around 3 hours of sleep per night (some nights we had no sleep, so I’ve taken that into account as well.)
But alas, the convention was a success – due in part to gallons of coffee and the ability to Hulu episodes of The Office when we had to stay awake just a few more hours in the hotel…
We officially launched our website on Saturday morning and introduced hundreds of parents in Cleveland to our amazing FREE service!! If you haven’t done so already, go check out www.byebyewithbaby.com — to find what you need when you’re out, simply type in your zip code, choose a search radius (5, 10, 25, 50, or 100 miles), and filter your results by category from the drop-down menu. Nursing/Breastfeeding rooms, Urgent Care Centers, Changing Tables, Family-Friendly Restaurants, Clean Gas Stations, Grocery/Drugstores, Maternity/Nursing/Baby Boutiques, AND specific family-related information in any U.S. Airport!
We wanted to share some photos of our launch party with you guys, so enjoy the following – then go browse our website! Many listings will be upgrading in the coming weeks (this means coupons and deals for you!!) so stay tuned, follow us on Facebook & Twitter!!

You mentioned you can search by zip code, but don’t forget you can search just like you would on Google maps (zip code, address, street name, landmark, or whatever info you have). If you’re going to McDonald’s in Cypress, Tx you can type “McDonald’s Cypress TX” and it will find the locations near there that you need.
