get a baby sitter! pack when she’s asleep

she will be fine. i agree with the portacot idea or baby barrier/playpen and she will be happy to watch for awhile and make sure to take advantage of her naps (even though you will be tired)

Don’t worry too much, it should be fine!!

We moved house with my six month old & it wasn’t quite as hard as what I thought it was. If you have family or friends it would be great if they could help you out

Pop up your portacot and pop her in that while you pack. We did this and it was great. We could keep her close and it kept her fascinated too. Best of luck.

I am sure she will be fine, give her something to keep her occupied

A playpen is a good idea

Younger children cope very well with moving

get a playpen to keep her in and out of danger

I feel your pain – I am about to move with a 3 year old, and she is already “helping”… I am going to give her her own box, and let her pack and unpack to her hearts content. With a little one, try decorating a box for her to play in while you pack.

i think it would be good if there is a friend or family member to ask for help when we are moving next year.

ask a family member to help out

We’ve lived in 4 houses in 4 years as my husband is in the Army and now have a 4 year old and 2 yr old. Kids are extremely resilient. Our girls have managed very well these last 2 moves. As she is too young to help I would set her up in a safe area, maybe a lounge area or playroom, with a gate so that she cannot come into rooms with items being packed and give her activities to entertain her. Maybe put her in a highchair at various times during the day in the room in which you are packing if you feel uncomfortable with her moving around the room and give her a snack or activity. Takes breaks together outside. You will get through it. Good luck.

I just moved with an infant and a 21mo. Thankfully on the actual move day nanny was visiting (dad had to dash off to his mums farm the night before, due to bushfire alarms ). But I just packed everything into 1 room and closed that room off to the toddler. My handles were high, so that helped.

I moved with a 2 month old and 2.5yr old, the trick I found was to wear the toddler on my back in an Ergo and put the baby in a bassinet while we worked

ive done it twice i find it keeps them entertained as there is new stuff every where for them to explore just make sure you put all stuff you dont wont her to touch in a closed room if possible and than some in an area she can play with good luck

I’d get a portacot or playpen and pop her in it, with favourite toys and things that will keep her attention. You can move it from room to room with you. When it comes to cleaning, or packing up her room, for your own sanity, I’d try and leave her with someone for a few hours, so you can do what you have to do without interruption from her.

Maybe ask some family or friends to watch her while you pack or maybe a playpen to put her in there fantastic.

Kids are pretty adaptable so i wouldnt worry too much.
Make sure you do stack boxes anywhere where they could fall on her. Its a good idea if you can to clear a room and put all packed boxes in there and have them clearly labeled as to what room they are for.
You can pack while shes asleep if you are finding it too difficult while shes awake.
Leave bubs room as the last place to pack up.
When you arrive at the new home make bubs room the first room you unpack and set up.

Get some help a friend or family member who can watch her while u finish off what needs doing, otherwise daycare if no one is available 🙂
