Preparing For Baby

Get ready for your baby’s arrival! Parenting is so much easier if you’re prepared with our expert advice for new parents.. Everything in this section of our blogs is applicable in the moment, but we encourage parents to read *before* the arrival of their baby.

Learn how to Physically prepare. Prepare feeding and changing stations around your home, set up a healthy sleep environment, and purchase the products that you need to welcome your new baby home with the least amount of stress and the least amount of 9pm sprints to Target. Set up a plan for visitors, food and potential emergencies in the hospital and at home.

Learn how to Mentally prepare. Set yourself up with the knowledge of newborn development and what to expect from a newborn so you aren’t going into parenthood blind! Get yourself into the mindset of how much sleep you can expect with a newborn, how often they’ll need to eat, and what they’ll need from you as a caregiver.

Learn how to Emotionally prepare. Understand the mental health risks of having a newborn, what is postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis, what signs to look for and how to create a plan of action. The overwhelming majority of parents experience some level of the baby blues!

We strongly feel that preparation is vital to a strong foundation in parenting a newborn. [It’s why we recommend watching our video series before your baby arrives!] If you’d like all of our insight delivered in an easy to follow video format, then check our our video series!
