What if you had a clear, step-by-step plan to help you feel confident and ready for this next chapter?
Bringing your baby home is one of the most exciting moments of your life
But let’s be real, it can also feel overwhelming.
What do I actually need to prepare?
Am I forgetting something important
How will I manage once the baby arrives?
You’re not alone in feeling this way. Many new parents struggle to figure out how to prepare without the stress and guesswork.
That’s why we created the Bringing Baby Home Guide—a resource designed by professional doulas to make this transition as smooth as possible.
We’ve broken down the essentials into four simple steps to help you prepare your home, your heart, and your mind for this life-changing moment.
1. Gather Your Mama Essentials
Before you focus entirely on your baby, let’s make sure you are taken care of too. You’ll learn exactly what items to have on hand to support your healing and comfort, including:
A water bottle you can drink from with one hand (hydration is key!).
Postpartum must-haves like a sitz bath, nipple cream, and recovery underwear.
Tools to make nursing or pumping easier, from bras to a fully covered pump (yes, insurance covers it!).
Self-care touches, like a Kindle to keep your mind engaged during late-night feeds.
2. Prepare Your Baby Essentials
Wondering how to get your baby’s space ready without overthinking it? We’ll guide you through:
Setting up and organizing everything from the car seat to the monitor.
Sorting baby clothes by size for easy access.
Storing extras and figuring out what to return, donate, or keep for later.
Pro Tip: If your baby will sleep in your room at first, place their essentials nearby for convenience.
3. Master the Need-to-Knows
You don’t have to know everything right now, but having a solid foundation can bring peace of mind. Our guide covers all the basics, like:
How to properly feed your baby, prepare bottles, and store breast milk.
Changing diapers, swaddling, and soothing your baby like a pro.
How to safely bathe your little one and clean baby gear.
4. Identify Safe Spaces for Baby
Postpartum life is full of moments where you’ll need to put your baby down safely—whether to shower, grab a meal, or simply take a breather. We’ll show you:
Safe spots like bassinets, play yards, and even the floor (if pets and older siblings aren’t around).
How to keep your baby within your sight and hearing with monitors
