Baby's Arrival Checklist


So the BIG DAY is just around the corner and everyone else in the family is breathlessly waiting to welcome its newest member. For everyone, nine months of pregnancy may seem like forever and parents are usually excited to know if the little one will show up in time. As you settle down for the final stretch of anticipation, it is time to reflect if you have actually made all the necessary preparations for the momentous event. Here are some preparations you might want to add to your checklist:

1. Get a Baby-sitter for other kids
For parents with other children, it is important to assign someone to supervise someone to take care of the other kids while you are away. You can ask a family member or a close friend to handle these tasks, especially when it comes to fetching the kids to and from school.

2. Prepare the baby's room
Preparing for the baby's room is one of the exciting tasks every expectant mom and dad seem to relish. You will need to make sure that the baby's room or sleeping area is made as comfortable as possible, complete with all the possible equipment needed for baby care such as the following:
o Bibs
o Blankets
o Diapers
o Crib
o Formula milk
o Feeding bottles
o Pacifiers
o Carrier

4. Infant's Safety
Your newborn's safety should be considered a priority. Experts advise to have an officially approved infant car seat on your way home. After all, accidents with newborns are not totally unheard of, right? Be sure to place the infant car seat at the back as the deployment of the air bags has been known to seriously cause injury to infants. for more please visit PreggyTips.com
