10 Tips for Unpacking With a Baby

by | Dec 9, 2020 | Features

Moving and unpacking into a new location with a baby can be challenging. Tips that can help are asking the movers to load the nursery items last so that they can be unpacked first, do as much unpacking when the baby is napping or has gone to bed, stick to the schedule of the baby, be prepared with food and snacks while moving, clean the house before moving in, do not be afraid to ask for help, contain the baby during the moving process, organize the essential parts of the home before moving in, bring toys and books for the baby, and make sure that the home is babyproof by doing things like covering electrical outlets.

Key Takeaways:

  • It is important to ask movers to load nursery items last so that they can unpack them first.
  • It is important to get as much unpacking done as possible when the baby is napping or after they have gone to bed.
  • When moving with a baby, it is important to bring snacks, clean the house before moving, and do not be afraid to ask for help

“As soon as the truck arrives at the new home, ask the movers to unload and assemble the crib. This way, you can set your baby down for a nap – and keep them (somewhat) on their normal routine – while the movers continue unloading the rest of the house.”
