Preparing For Your Baby’s Arrival

Tips On What You Should Do Before Bringing Your Baby Home

Laos Fertility knows that your hospital stay will be brief, and your transition at home will be made easier if you prepare well in advance for bringing your baby home. Here are a few tips that can help you prepare for that special day.

The first step we recommend is that you find a place in your home where your baby will sleep and there will be enough space for storing clothes and other baby supplies. Most couples will want to make a bedroom into a nursery for their baby. Today, there are all kinds of baby monitors that hang over the crib and you can listen to your baby from your own bedroom or from another room in your house. These walkie talkie devices really make it convenient if you wish to keep your baby in a separate bedroom. Some couples will want to have their baby in their bedrooms. Whichever you decide, you will need to prepare for the additional space.

Laos Fertility recommends that after you find space in your house for your baby, you will want to purchase a crib. Cribs can be expensive, but you can easily find a second hand one or buy one through a discount store. The only part of the crib that we recommend that you should buy new is the mattress.
Once you have your baby’s crib in the room, you want to start purchasing all the necessary nursery items for your baby. You will need to have on hand bottles with nipples, a pacifier, baby blankets, baby clothes, plenty of diapers, baby wipes, baby powder, a large tote bag to carry all the items, and a changing table or place where you can change your baby’s diapers.

The next step we recommend is to purchase a car seat for your baby. It is important to purchase one that meets Federal Requirements. Never put your baby in a car seat in the front of your car, especially if it is equipped with air bags. The safest place to put the car seat is in the back seat in the middle and your baby should face backwards.

Another important item you will need to purchase is a stroller for your baby. Strollers today come in all shapes and sizes and many are equipped with high tech devices such MP3 players. You can easily find a stroller to meet any budget.

Bringing your baby home will be the most special day in your life. Being well prepared in advance will eliminate any stress you may have and you will be in a better position to enjoy this day and remember it forever.
