How to prepare your home for a new baby

Here are a few easy things you can do to prepare your home for a new baby, and we're always a phone call away if you have any additional questions!
Baby-Proof your home - Your baby will become mobile before you know it, so begin thinking proactively about any potential hazards in the home. Cleaning products and medication should always be stored out of sight and out of reach in securely locked cabinets. You’ll also want to ensure you always have fresh batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
Deep clean your kitchen - Baby food jars can be stored at room temperature, but you’ll need plenty of room in your fridge to store breastmilk, baby formula, and other perishable items. This is also an excellent time to clean your fridge from top to bottom and throw away expired food and condiments while you still have the energy.
Always keep baby supplies handy - You and your significant other will likely struggle to stay organized once the baby arrives, but you don’t want to have to search for the essentials while dealing with a fussy child. Keep a basket of essentials near your couch or bed for quick access, including diapers, wipes, and other supplies. Be sure to also include some water and snacks for yourself for the times you find yourself trapped under a sleeping infant!
