Tips to prepare for baby’s arrival

Well, your big day is getting close! Preparing to welcome a baby goes beyond the shopping list for diapers and onesies. Here are some useful tips that will help make the adjustment-to-baby period a little easier.

 

Let your family and friends know ahead of time if you’ll need their help. They may be able to take some time off work to help out as you and baby are adjusting to life together.

Cook and freeze as many meals as you can for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even snacks.

Use a gentle detergent for a newborn’s sensitive and delicate skin. Having everything clean and ready to go will make cleaning up inevitable mishaps that much easier.

Make an informal introduction to your baby by having your pets smell the newly washed clothes to get used to the new scent.

Make sure your baby seat is installed to meet legal requirements and familiarize yourself by practicing mounting and removing the seat a few times.

Don’t run to the store, use Amazon prime and just get everything delivered to you quickly.
