Moving to new house with baby?

We recently got a much needed new/bigger home. We are due to move in June, baby will be 9 months old.





Ive heard it can take some time for baby to get used to the transition, which is understandable. Anyone move with a baby around this age? If so, how did he/she react? Any ideas to help transition go as smooth as possible? Thanks in advance!Moving to new house with baby?
Our baby was 8 months old last April when we moved to our home. We built it and although they finished it in March, we move at the end of April.





She did fine..absolutely fine. We had been renting an apartment as we waited- and maybe she was happy about having more freedom to crawl? Also, as they were building, we went to check things out. So, she had seen it often before the big moving day.





During the move- have someone watch your baby. My mom kept our baby while we moved. Our baby was with us- but my mom was in charge until the baby wanted to nurse. She walked her in the stroller as we loaded and unloaded, she went to the house ahead of us and put the socket covers in the holes, and she also babysat our dog.





We have moved a lot...and one tip: Have a suitcase packed for all of your stuff for a few days. Have a box labeled clearly of anything that is important for the baby. We loaded both into our SUV and that was the first thing we unpacked.





We also set it up so that on moving day- it was load and go...no more packing. I have a Mei Tei carrier and wore her in that as I packed boxes.





As long as baby is with you, she/he is going to be fine. I promise you!





We moved across the country when our son was small. 3 days before we moved, I packed up some of his favorites and shipped them to our new place and they were there when we arrived. It was like X-Mas when he saw his favorite toys!





Good luck and happy moving!Moving to new house with baby?
We moved when our baby was six months old and what we did to help the transition is to get his room ready before moving in and if possible take him over there a few hours a day until you actually move in and he will be getting used to the new place and when you do move in he will not be such a shock also you might if you can let him take a nap over there and get used to the smell and surroundings and it can actually take up to three months for children and babies to adjust to new surroundings. well i hope this helped and good luck with the baby and the move.
I think if you set up the nursery the same way you had it before it will help. Babies are pretty zealous and can adapt pretty easily. Just surround your lil one with the same toys, furniture etc. It will make it easier.


All babies really want is the safety in knowing their parents are there.
it good question i am going to move into house in next month with my 6 month old (she will be 7 month when we move to the new places. she has seen the new places with us..








Sorry didn't answer your question
we moved into our new house last month -- on ruby's 9 month birthday!! so, yes, i have had this experience. for the month before we moved in, my husband was here all weekend every weekend renovating, and i brought ruby to visit at least once a weekend. i don't know if this was the reason she had an easy transition, but it helped. also, we made sure that we had decorated her nursery in our temporary apartment the same way we would in the new house so that she had familiar things immediately -- her room was the first one to get set up when we moved in. lastly, we were co-sleeping when we moved in, and that helped, too, i am sure, as did the fact that i am home all day with her. whatever the reason, she had NO trouble. in fact, she loved having more space to crawl around. every baby is different of course, but it is possible for this to be easy and smooth. i hope it is for you! good luck.
We moved when my daughter was 4 months old (to a temporary situation b/c our house was not ready yet), and then again when she was 5 months. She did just fine--no problems.





Try to keep her routine consistent, and don't get a new bed or anything at that point. Do whatever you did at your last house.
People always over-analyze these things. Your baby, if you have the same furnishings, crib set, etc in her room is not going to have that hard of a time. It is harder for older kids to move because they have friends in their old neighborhood, school (If they have to switch schools). Just keep her room as close to the same as possible.
my husband and i just bought our first hom in feb.


our son was just shy of 4 months at that time.


it took about a week for him to get adjusted to his new surroundings. he normally sleeps thorugh the night but when we first moved hed wake up ususally 2 times durring the night.


we have his room set up pretty much like we had his room at the house we rented, and that seems to help.


we've lived there for about 2 months now and he has adjusted jsut fine.
we moved across the country when my daughter was a baby. Just be sure to put familiar things around them....favorite toys, blanket, stuffed animals, etc...Good Luck with the move....
