20 Things to Get Your Home Ready Before the Baby Comes

Listen Here

In this episode, we're going to tackle an essential topic: preparing your home before the arrival of your baby. We've compiled a list of 20 things that will help you get your house in order, ensuring a smooth transition into parenthood. So let's dive right in and pregame your home for the new addition to your family.

Main Takeaways:

  • Furniture and Equipment: Assemble and set up the crib, changing table, stroller, car seat, and other necessary furniture and equipment well in advance. Having these essentials ready will provide a sense of preparedness and convenience when the baby arrives.
  • Food Prep: Stock up on food and prepare meals in advance. Consider freezing meals or having easy-to-heat options available. This will save you time and energy during those initial sleep-deprived days.
  • Household Supplies: Ensure you have an ample supply of household items such as laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, and cleaning products. Having these stocked up will prevent last-minute trips to the store.
  • Coordinate Support: Reach out to family and friends for help during the first few weeks post-birth. Having a support system in place allows you to focus on bonding with the baby while loved ones assist with other tasks.
  • ​Create a Baby Toolkit: Gather essential items for easy access when caring for the baby. Diapers, wipes, burp cloths, pacifiers, and baby lotion should be readily available. This toolkit ensures you can attend to your baby's needs efficiently.
  • ​Establish Parenting Roles: Communicate and establish roles and responsibilities with your partner. Clearly defining who will handle certain tasks ensures both parents feel involved and supported.
  • ​Learn CPR and First Aid: Take a CPR class and familiarize yourself with basic first aid techniques. This knowledge equips you to handle emergencies and gives you peace of mind.
  • ​Nursery Preparation: Create a comfortable and safe nursery for your baby. Decorate and organize the space, ensuring it is ready for your little one's arrival.
  • Baby-Proofing: Install safety gates, secure furniture, cover electrical outlets, and remove potential hazards. Baby-proofing your home prevents accidents and ensures a safe environment for your baby to explore.
  • ​Stock Up on Baby Supplies: Buy an ample supply of diapers, wipes, baby clothes, formula (if needed), and toiletries. Having these essentials on hand eliminates the need for last-minute runs to the store.

Summary and Call to Action:

Preparing your home before the baby arrives is essential for a smooth transition into parenthood. By following these 20 tips, you'll be well-prepared and confident as you embark on this new journey.
