Are there special first-day move-in secrets for tots?
On the first night in your home there is nothing worse than digging through a stack of boxes to find a favorite stuffed animal so your child can sleep. To avoid frantic searching for everyday "must have" items, a first-day survival kit for the tiniest tots, all in one box, should include:
Survival Kit For Tots
- Favorite toy or blanket
- Diapers
- Several changes of clothes
- Bed linens
- Bottle or pacifier
- Formula
- Special foods
- Bib
- Baby eating utensils
- Pain/fever reliever
- Thermometer
- First aid kit
- Night light
- Favorite books, toys, games
Label your box "load last" so it will be first off the truck, or carry it with you. Other musts: a stroller, car seat or playpen that can double as baby’s bed until the crib is assembled.
