A Fresh Start: Your Guide to Moving Homes With a New Baby

Moving home is arguably one of the most stressful tasks we undertake in our spare time, with boxes and packing tape covering our homes. So, with the added stress of a new baby, is the move even possible? This article will help you make the move easier for your family, helping you settle into your new home quickly and painlessly.



Keep Baby Essentials to Hand

Babies require lots of bits and bobs to be on hand at all times, which makes it important to ensure these aren’t packed away! Making sure the essentials are accessible at all times means that, no matter what happens, your baby can be kept happy and healthy during the moving process.

Here’s a list of things to ensure are kept out for your baby during the move:

●     A travel cot

●     Nappies

●     Changing pads

●     Hand sanitiser

●     Muslin cloths

●     Feeding supplies

●     Change of clothes

●     Baby wipes

●     Nappy cream

●     Blanket

●     Toys

●     Dummies

Update Your Doctor

One of the most important things to do for your baby is to make sure they are quickly registered with a new doctor’s surgery, if necessary. While adults generally require appointments now and again, young babies are more vulnerable, so it’s vital to make sure you can get help as soon as it is needed.

Continue Baby’s Routine

Young babies and their parents both benefit from the implementation of a routine, so it’s a good idea to keep to your established schedule as much as possible. This can help to regulate your baby and prevent them from becoming distressed throughout the move. Utilise a travel cot as an easy way to create a familiar place for them to sleep, and playpens for a safe play area.

Pack Early

Moving with a baby is not a procrastination-friendly process. The best way to move as seamlessly as possible is to pack early, doing small bits here and there. Start with the items you are unlikely to need immediately, such as seasonal decorations, and ensure you mark the boxes with their contents, as well as which room they need to be put in. This will make the process on the other end easier, helping you to get the essential baby furniture out first.

Hire a Removals Company

As the saying goes, it takes a village. To help you focus on looking after your little one, hiring a removal company can be incredibly helpful. From packing services to furniture removals, professionals can help you take care of the entire relocation process.
