Getting Organized for the New Baby – Pt. 2

Your empty nest is about to become full, so there’s not much time left for prepping and organization! after your little one arrives.
Make sure to complete these to-do’s before life becomes more hectic after your little one arrives.

Spring Clean: Many of us postpone our spring cleaning, but now’s the time to tackle it (for the sake of you and your baby’s health and safety). Dust behind furniture, clean the floors, and vacuum under the couch and tables, etc. Remember to stay as close to the floor as possible, as this is where your baby will be! Now is also a great time to ditch clutter such as magazines, old clothes and unwanted gifts from the holidays. Some of these tasks can be exhausting, so ask your partner or friends for help.

Do Laundry: Washing everything that doesn’t make it to your weekly loads, such as throw rugs, towels, and pillow shams. Make sure to also stock up on detergent and stain remover, because you’re soon to be washing lots of onesies, pajamas and baby blankets.

Order Birth Announcements: You can order these online so they’re ready as soon as you know your baby’s final stats. Address the envelopes now so they’re ready to be mailed, and don’t forget a framed birth announcement for hanging in the nursery!

Make the Who-to-Call List: It’s best to set this list up now so your partner knows who to inform of your new arrival. You can even set up a call chain (i.e., enlist three people who will each call another three people).

Getting Organized for the New Baby – Pt. 1

“Nesting” is a soon-to-be parent’s instinct to prepare their “empty nest” to become full and busy; and with this generally comes organization, cleanliness and preparation. After all, you’ll need to make plenty of room for that new bundle of joy and all his/her necessities! If you’ve been hit with the nesting instinct, its best to make the most of it now before life becomes more hectic after the baby arrives.

Stock Up on Essentials: Although they’re tiny, babies go through endless diapers and other essentials. Load up on baby soap, bottles, bibs, baby powder, etc. Basically, pick up everything you won’t want to run out of during a busy day.

Load Up the Pantry: You likely won’t have much time for grocery shopping when the baby comes, so it’s best to stock up now on non-perishables. Load up on healthy, convenient foods such as trail mix, crackers, brown rice, healthy sauces and broths, etc. Make a space for baby food, cereal, formula, spoons, and bowls.

Prepare the Nursery: Keep the necessities you know you’ll need close at hand. This way, you can avoid having a naked, messy baby on the changing table when the clean diapers and wipes are across the room. We suggest investing in a handy hanging diaper stacker. Now’s also a great time to organize the closet and drawers.

The Rise of Personalized Gifts

Whether it’s Christmas, a baby shower or a birthday, a personalized gift is a great way to show a new or expecting mom just how truly special she is. Personalized gifts from Purple Pumpkin are a perfect way to stand out in a crowd, and they can make an average present into something meaningful that is cherished forever. There is much truth to the saying ‘It’s the thought that counts”!

When a gift for a new mom or baby has been custom-made or personalized, there’s no doubt it will become a keepsake. Once the baby shower or baby’s first birthday party has ended, Mom will go home and sort through her large pile of new gifts. She will likely find items she already has plenty of, duplicate gifts, or gifts that don’t match her or her baby’s needs. It’s likely they will be returned to the store, be donated or even collect dust. However, a precious gift such as a personalized baby blanket or a personalized toy chest possesses more meaning, as it was tailored specifically for her.

The most important aspect about the art of gift-giving is showing that you know the recipient really well, and that you care about them. Practicality of the gift is important to consider as well, but it’s amazing what a little bit of customization can do to make a special day or event even more memorable.

Preparing for a Flight with Your Baby

Many of us travel to see friends and family for the holidays – babies included! It’s crucial to prepare adequately for your little one’s first flight, but as a first-time parent (or even for the seasoned parent with their newest bundle of joy in tow), it required a lot of preparing and planning just to take a stroll at the nearby park. Trips in general, whether they are day trips or an extended stay, can be a stressful time – especially when you consider everything you need for your baby.

The first step to reducing your travel stress is by packing the right diaper bag essentials for your baby or toddler. Starting your trip stressed and disorganized is not a good sign for the upcoming adventure! Give yourself a head start in preparing and start with the number one essential: the diaper bag.

Your everyday diaper bag may be smaller in size in order to accommodate wipes, diapers, a spare change of clothes, a bottle and an extra pacifier. However, your travel bag should be larger to allow for extra essentials to get you through a day of flights, layovers or car trips. You don’t want to lose precious travel time by running to a store en-route because you forgot a necessity.

As for the contents of your diaper bag, here’s a list of the must-have’s that will help make your trip a success for both of you!

• Diapers (one per hour, or training pants for potty-training toddlers)

• Wipes

• Diaper rash ointment

• Wash cloth, burp cloth and a hand towel

• Two to three personalized baby bibs

• Bottle(s) or sippy cup (one sippy cup is generally sufficient, but you’ll need more than one bottle depending on the length of your trip and your child’s needs

• Formula, milk or breast milk — prepared and chilled

• Baby food with baby-safe utensils

• Bottled water

• Snacks (you can keep snacks for you or older children in your baby’s diaper bag)

• Extra clothes for baby (two or three bodysuits, shirts and bottoms)

• Baby/toddler-safe toys (don’t overstuff, but choose at least one or two you know will keep your child entertained and happy)

• Hand sanitizer

• Two pacifiers

• Travel-size first-aid kit
