Twin Reasons to Stock Baby

For women 35 to 39 years old, the birth rate from 2003 to 2004 rose 4 percent*. That's an important shift, because as more women wait to bear children, couples are likely to have more disposable income when they reach parenthood.

Baby boomers are becoming grandparents. Their grandchildren could be the beneficiaries of their enormous spending power—to the tune of $2 trillion a year**.
