Tips for Moving with a Baby from a Professional Moving Company

By Julie DeLong, A-1 Freeman Moving Group 

Clear Excessive Belongings Prior To Beginning Packing

If you are moving with a little one, less is best. There isn't any more suitable time than if you are getting ready for a move to purge yourself of the excess things you don't actually need or want. Doing away with the extras means far fewer things to unbox later, which means less strain on your unpacking schedule, and much less stress on your child.

Hire Professional Local Movers

It is very important hire a moving company in Denver at the beginning of the process, so you do not find their schedules are full. Make sure to take into account companies that have a variety of services, like professional storage.

Perform Thorough Packing

Take the time to perform detailed packing to make sure that unpacking with the baby in the new space is faster and simpler.

· Separate and pack clothing based on the type, or maybe the season.

· Keep items in cartons according to the room they are supposed to be in, without combining rooms.

· Pack smaller, detailed things such as bathroom items in zip-seal bags prior to placing them in boxes.

· Label each box based on contents so that you can choose to unpack ones containing baby-safe things when the child is awake, and save the ones that might present a hazard to unpack as soon as your child is napping, safe, or with a sitter.

An alternative is to have the professional moving company in Denver pack for you.

Deep Clean Before the Baby Enters the Home

If you are going to deep clean the home before you unpack, try to accomplish that prior to when the baby is in the area. Think about hiring a sitter or having a close friend take the little one for the day so you're able to clean safely. An alternative choice is always to engage a cleaning service to clean before your arrival.

Baby-Proof the Residence

Baby-proof the residence prior to unpacking. Moving is hectic and strenuous and it is easy to become sidetracked when unpacking. By baby-proofing the home, there is a safe spot to put hazardous materials and will create a safe place for the baby away from the risks posed during unpacking. Here are several essential things to take into account:

· Getting cartons and packing material put away

· Secure sizeable items of furniture for example dressers and televisions in order to avoid them from being pulled over.

· Block-off dangerous areas making use of safety gates.

· Use child locks on drawers and cabinets.

· Cover all electrical outlets.

· Make sure pools are fenced.

· Ensure doors leading outside can't be quickly opened.

· Install baby monitors plus a home security system.

Unpack Over Naptime, Bedtime, or even When Away

When possible, unpack during naptime, bedtime, or when your little one is with a babysitter. Make use of the time to carry out duties which are impossible to do with the baby awake or in your arms.

Pack Baby Necessities Separately

Pack baby essentials such a playpen, portable baby bed, swing, along with toys separately and keep them with you instead of sending them on the truck. That way, you can set up a safe area to keep the little one contained without having to look through many cartons to find what you need. Having absolutely all the stuff your little one requires will provide you with a significant advantage during unpacking.

Select Professional Unpacking

If you can, opt to have the professional movers unpack the whole residence as well as put together the pieces of furniture. If it's not a possibility to have the entire house professionally unpacked, think about having the moving company only unpack and put together the nursery.

Have the Moving Company Pack the Nursery Last, and Unpack First

Have the local moving company pack the baby's room last and unload first. This should ensure you have one area that is free from boxes or bits and pieces that a little one might be tempted to place in their mouth. In addition, it offers a spot for them to nap and a way for you to carry out jobs easier.

Uphold a Routine

As much as is feasible amongst the unpacking mayhem, try to have a regular routine for sleep and eating times. A forgotten nap can mean a cranky and unhappy baby plus a stressed parent.

Keep Snacks and Toys On hand

Moving is often exhausting and stressful for babies, too. Help keep them content and busy with snacks and a few new and interesting toys. It can be beneficial to create a couple of small, baby-safe canisters of toys that you could switch out every 20-30 minutes to ensure that they're consistently engaged.
