Disclosure: I've teamed up with Babies "R" Us and P&G for this post.
1.) Talk to veteran moms. Having a baby can be exciting, but a little scary at the same time. Your fellow moms prove that it can be done and they can alleviate some of your fears. Whether you're nervous about the labor and delivery experience or about what kind of baby gear you need, moms who have "been there and done that" can help.
2.) Bring a veteran mom with you when you register at a trusted store. There are a LOT of baby products on the market and choosing which items are right for your family can be extremely overwhelming. It's a good idea to start with a trusted store, like Babies "R" Us, that will give you a lot of information and recommendations on the most popular categories and brands of baby items. They even provide you with a handy checklist to make sure you have all the bases covered. It's also a good idea to bring a friend or family member with you that's a veteran mom. They can tell you what you really need and what you can do without. I registered at Babies "R" Us and brought along my best friend and had a great experience; everything was just so easy.
3.) Prepare the baby's room and wash all of baby's clothing and layette. I think this has to do a lot with the "nesting" phase of pregnancy, but I wanted to make sure I had every possible thing done before baby arrived. This included washing all of those adorable newborn outfits, swaddles, and cradle sheets with a gentle detergent like Dreft. Also, try to assemble any baby furniture or pieces of baby gear before baby arrives. It's a lot easier to do those things before you have a newborn and are sleep deprived.
4.) Install the car seat early and have it checked by a CPST. You know I'm all about car seat safety and believe me when I tell you that I knew nothing about car seats before I started reviewing them and reading more about safety regulations. You don't want to be left scrambling with car seat installation at the last minute, so take your car seat to your local CPST early (I'd recommend calling and making an appointment) so they can help you with proper installation. It's estimated that 75% of car seats are not properly installed, so don't take any risks with your most precious cargo.
5.) Pack a bag and have it ready. That moment when labor starts - the last thing you want to worry about is gathering all of the things you need for the hospital. Pack a bag early and leave it within eyesight (or in your car) so you're sure to grab it on your way out the door. Also, be sure to have a list of your emergency contacts in your bag, in case your partner is not with you when you go into labor, and have all of your insurance info and a birth plan if you have one.
6.) Seek out and interview pediatricians early. I didn't realize how important finding a good pediatrician truly is. You're already a bit stressed when you're a new parent, and feeling uncertain about your child's health care provider only adds to your anxiety. Ask for recommendations from other parents you know and go ahead and call pediatricians for an appointment to sit and chat with them. Consider it an interview. You want to find someone that has similar views on breastfeeding (if you're planning on it), when to start solids, vaccinations, antibiotic usage, homeopathy, and things such as this.
7.) Going back to work after baby is born? Arrange for childcare early because many centers have wait lists. Maternity leave will fly by, so start checking out reputable childcare centers early. You might find that the most desirable locations have a wait-list that you can put your name on before baby is even born. Another thing to think about, even though it might seem far off, is preschool! In our area, it's not uncommon for people to put their children's name on the wait-list at the best preschools in their first few months of life for 18 month admission.
8.) Attend childbirth, newborn, and breastfeeding classes before baby arrives. Your local hospital might have a wealth of information to share with you - you just need to sign up for the classes. In some cases they're free and others charge a small fee. You can learn about labor and delivery, what you can expect from that certain facility, and some locations even have newborn care classes that can teach the very basics (Never changed a diaper? No problem! They can help.) Also, seek out local breastfeeding support groups and La Leche League meetings if you're planning to breastfeed your baby. A good support system can make all the difference in your success.
9.) Prepare meals ahead of time, or (if you feel comfortable enough) ask your friends to establish a meal delivery schedule for you. No one told me how much physical discomfort I'd be in after my first baby. I was sore and just didn't feel up to preparing meals. I LOVED anyone that would bring us a meal in those first few weeks (extra points if they brought it in a container I didn't have to wash and give back to them). For this next baby, I'm going to prepare freezer meals that I can throw in the crock-pot, but I know some of our friends will likely bring us meals too. There are great websites like Meal Train where your friends can get together and plan a schedule to plan meals for you and your family.
Ready for some additional tips from nationally recognized brands and some expert bloggers?
Here are some the Top 10 Tips for the First 100 Days with Baby!
Do you have any tips for preparing for a new baby?
I'd love to hear them!
Disclosure: I've teamed up with Babies "R" Us and P&G for this post. I received a promotional item for participating. All opinions expressed are my own.
Dorothy Boucher says
These are all wonderful tips, I pretty much did them all and I also made a plan to have a timer, so this way I knew when to feed, I was always worried I would over feed or under feed lool
Jo-Ann Brightman says
These tips are good for exoectant mothers. I shall make sure my daughter-in-laws see it.
lisa says
Very good tips. I loved being pregnant. The last few weeks was a bit frightening. No one told me how terrible the labor pains were. After I had my second, and last child, a good friend became pregnant. I told her the truth, just so she would know what to expect. I'll just say she didn't appreciate it.
Bobbie Dudas says
I'm planning my first child and am very nervous and of course excited. Thank you for the helpful tips
krista williams says
These are all good steps to prepare for the arrival of your new baby.The only thing I would lke to add is plenty of rest and relaxation.Having a baby can be very draining and not much time for rest once the baby arrives.
Anna says
These are all great tips. I will pass this on to a friend who has a new baby.
Rebecca Parsons says
My only other tip than what is already there is prepare you pets and other children of the soon new family member.
Sandra Watts says
I like these tips. They could be quite helpful. I only wish I was so organized.
Nikki H. says
These are great tips for new mommas!
Kris DeVoss says
This is a fantastic review ...I really wish I had these tips when I was pregnant with my first child ... Thank you!
Lisa Edwards says
All great tips, some I knew as a new mother, but others I wish I had known. Thanks for the information
Beth R says
Making meals ahead was definitely a life saver for me. I probably had a months worth of crockpot/freezer meals all stocked in the freezer to just grab and go. I also made lactation cookies and froze them. So easy
Candice Balser says
Great tips! These would be great to pass on. A lot of these you don't think about until after you've been through a pregnancy before. I would've liked to have had a list like this before I had my first child. It would've prepared me for the unknown.
Lisa Coomer Queen says
These are great tips for a new Mommy. I wish you the best of luck!
Katie Dettelbach says
This is a great blogpost!!!
Katie Dettelbach says
This is such a great blogpost and super helpful for a first time mommy!
Betsy Barnes says
These are very helpful tips! You covered everything, I would tell expecting mom's to try to relax and do what is best for your family, take each day as it comes and don't sweat the small stuff 🙂
Shannon says
Thank you for sharing this with us, very helpful.
Janet VanNatter says
Try to get as much rest as you can before labor:) You will need your strength for that!!
Kimberly Frazee says
These are some great tips. The meals are a awesome idea
Hannah Avery says
Good tips! I plan to do some of this this coming week, like washing baby's layette and organizing it. I have home births, so I also need to get our birth kit assembled and in a handy place. Oh, I also plan on doing lots of organizing. (We are on spring break). Another recommendation for moms with kids, is to start doing things to make your life easier a few months before having the new baby if possible. Right now I am working with my 2 year old on potty training, in hopes she may be mostly out of diapers when new baby comes! We also need to work on her sleeping in her own room!
Laurie Arnheim says
These are all wonderful tips! Just want to say, the most important thing is to enjoy your pregnancy, it goes by way too fast! Such a miraculous time! Take in everything that EVERYONE says or that you read! If you don't use it now, you may use it in a few weeks, months, or years. ENJOY!!!
Kayla starr says
Re-think your furniture arrangement, no coffee tables, or fragile decorations.pit it all up for the first few years!
Nora R says
I wish I would've read all this when I was pregnant with my first! Great tips!
Dandi D says
These are some great things I wish I had known when I was pregnant with my first.
Kendsie Niederriter says
The meal delivery service sounds like a perfect idea, going to have to remember that for future pregnant friends
.
Regina Wright says
Very good tips. My neighbor told me that our local Fire Station could also help us install the seats. I'm assuming she meant the CPST.
Richard Hicks says
Some wonderful advice here for new Moms!
melissa bybee says
Thank you for the great tips, i have a few friends that are expecting and i'll send them to your site.
Amy L says
These are great tips. We've heard most of them and are already putting them into practice (due early May), so it's good to know that we're on the right track!
Paula Adams says
Tip #9 about friends preparing meals is incredibly helpful after a new baby. We used a new site called mealtrain.com which allows you to organize a Meal Calendar with online sign-ups - really a great tool !
Bel M says
Great tips...they are very useful for expecting moms.
Christina Strapp Lambert says
I agree with all of this! There are some things that people just don't talk about after giving birth.
Lily Kwan says
These tips are very helpful. Thanks for sharing!
Tran Truong says
Great tips.
Jana says
These are all wonderful tips! I would add to make sure arrangements are made for older siblings (if applicable)
Elizabeth Johnson says
Last time I did not have a pediatrician picked out for my 2 kids but my old be this pregnancy had given me a paper of suggested pediatricians and currently filling out paperwork. I'm definitely watching all of the clothes and getting everything ready for the baby
Karen says
I think we did most of these things, but we didn't interview our pediatrician. We just used the same pediatrician that my younger siblings-in-law used!
Trendy V says
I have to say these are some great tips.
Mia says
I think all of the tips are very helpful and having plans can certainly help new moms feel less stressed. I like the idea of talking to and having a veteran mom help with choosing products.
Amber Delorme says
These Tips are extremely helpful, especially for the women who are currently expecting..Great Share 🙂
Anita k says
This will be extremely helpful.thanks so very much for sharing.
Rachel B says
Great tips! I know that being pregnant and having the nesting urge can be so overwhelming. This is a great list for new mamas to help get stuff done!
Jennifer G says
I love the tip to prepare meals ahead of time. When exhaustion and lack of sleep take over, it's so nice to pull a prepared meal out of the fridge or freezer and have dinner ready in no time!
Jayme Sheen says
Interviewing peds before baby comes is brilliant. I always forget.
Elizabeth Johnson says
I love tips for babies and breastfeeding I had a bracelet I would move a job on the bracelet from the left to the right to remind me what movie last breastfed from of course I didn't need it as much for myself because I did not fill up with milk very fast and I knew what boobs I had used last. I always try to keep the kids involved in the child's life even during pregnancy teaching them to be gentle before the baby even comes excetera
Aimee says
Great tips for new mamas!!!
Laura M. says
My tip would be just to enjoy every moment they grow up too fast. They will never be a infant again, you get the privilege of seeing them in this innocent form.
Stephanye says
I had my mom come with me to register-she could help me decide what was needed and what was just "bonus"!
Jess says
I definitely agree with this list!! Super helpful for expecting moms!
Jessica Funderburk says
Great tips! I wish I had looked much harder for a pedi with our second child. 🙁 lots of unnecessary trial and error.
Cari Lingwood says
This is my second babe and I don't know which time I waste nervous. I think I'm nesting more this time because I know exactly what I'm in for! 🙂
jeanette sheets says
to get ready for new baby to come home ,just try be prepard from diapers to clothes to sanitizing home ,groceries for mom and dad and maybe ask someone to come stay for week or two to mom gets adjusted to help out some ,
Ashley says
All of this information is really helpful

RANDY FULGHAM says
these are some great tips
Mariah Hale says
Wonderful tips for a new mom!
Michelle Elizondo says
I agree! you have to plan ahead to reduce stress and worries. And if it doesn't go accordingly. Thats ok too.
Shannon Gillen says
I wish I had brought a veteran mom with me when I registered. We had so much "extra" stuff on our list and not enough of the stuff we really needed. That too is genuinely invaluable!
Kate Curry-Da-Souza says
I think asking friends is helpful, but sometimes there is a stand out item that others may not have even heard of that works for you. For me, with my first son (12 years ago!) It was the Stokke Kinderzeat (now called Tripp Trapp). At 13 years old, he still sits in the same chair. We just keep adjusting it for him. Worth every penny and we got another for our younger son when he was born.
Jessica Newman says
These are all great ideas. Hopefully I have a third baby and I can use these or share this info with a pregnant friend! Thank you!
natasha li says
great tips!!!
Cassandra Ross says
Great tips and ideas, as a recently learned of second time around mom to be it all seems much easier this time knowing what to expect, but I have helped my friend through her first baby by showing her what I already know!
Sandra Watts says
I am expecting a new grand baby in February. I am so excited. It is going to be another girl!
Riana Keelin says
I loved these tips. I have 2 kids and did all of these. Helped me.out so much and make things a lot less stressful!
Stacy Renee says
Adding another tip: join a birth group! I joined a group of women all due in the same month as me, some first time moms and some veterans. It was a great place to ask embarrassing questions and to talk about pregnancy symptoms, birth, and now we share late night stories and talk about everything because we have become such close friends! It has been the best support group for me! I'll admit its not for everyone though! We have had our fair share of losses, drama, crazies, and much more.
Joanna m says
Great advice! Thank you lots!
Celeste says
These are good tips. I did all of them except the veteran mom thing. That could have been helpful. I would also add get any big projects out of the way before baby comes. Otherwise, it's likely they won't be finished for 10 years.

Candi says
These are great tips. I am a procrastinator so I almost never get to these items but really should.
Kelly Pompa says
giving all these wonderful tips to my dauh-in-law
Angela Mason says
Thanks for the helping hand! Have a wonderful day!
Nicki says
Just relax. Baby does not care if everything matches, the curtains are the right shade of nap time blue, or if everything is pre-washed and folded. Just take time to love and cherish every moment. They grow way too fast.
Claire Rheinheimer says
These are all fantastic tips! My best friend took me with her when she registered for her daughter just because she had no idea what she really needed. It was fun to be able to help and show her what she didn't really need. Getting car seats checked is so, so important! I just installed a new one today and will be calling to get it (and my others) checked just to be sure it's in right.
Mallory S says
These are great tips! I'm due with my second baby and it's always good to refresh your memory whether it's been 2 years or 10. I'm 38 weeks and still have a few things to do haha.
Carolyn Massey says
These are great tips. My daughter-in-law just had a baby and she breast feeds. Sometimes the baby doesn't get enough milk and is hungry an hour later. Hard to know how much the baby gets.
jamie davis says
My daughter was the same way. The cluster feed phase seemed to last forever! One thing that helped me was to feed on demand, not on the clock.
Christine DeLillo says
These are all really great tips. I know going to parenting and birthing classes has helped me feel more confident and prepared to deliver my first baby.
Stacy Nelson says
All great tips! Thanks for sharing!
Lynn Green-Ivey says
Excellent tips!! Going to a car seat class and having our seats and bases installed by a CPST was super helpful. Such a great resource!
Ashley H says
Wish I'd had time to make meals but early bed rest with both babies threw a kink in that. Would definitely be a huge help those first few weeks though
Laurie L. says
I agree with all of your tips. I did most of them while I was pregnant with my July 2015 baby girl. The only one I didn't do was the birthing classes. I didn't do them when I was pregnant with my first either
Mallory Shepard says
prepping meals is a big help! These are all good suggestions but nothing really prepares you for having your first child. It just takes time to adjust to your new life.
Kristien D. says
Great tips! Always count on your local
Mommy friends!
Heather Eavers says
Great tips
jamie davis says
I'm due in april with my second and really need to get this stuff taken care of! This isn't just helpful for new koms, it's great for procrastinating moms too lol!

I loved this post. I'm a veteran mommy myself but I think this article is great advice for new parents.
N Bear says
I don't think I did any of these.
Heather Dippold says
Thanks for the reminders!
Brittany Hardin says
Those are some great tips! I didn't know anything with my first and felt like I had it more together with my second. Tour the hospital and ask tons and tons of questions! With my 3rd baby I felt like a pro ?
Heidi says
These are great tips!
Jessica says
This is all excellent advice. I particularly like the advice to make sure your car seat is installed early and correctly.
Amy Southerland says
These are really helpful, especially the last one, we had my sister to help out at first and people from church brought meals for the first week, but we had a nice baby and after that, having the meals ready to go in the freezer was a lifesaver.
Jennifer Taylor says
I did everything but prepare meals. I wished I would have. Pizza sure got old lol
Marla M says
Prepare meals ahead of time!!!!!!! Best tip ever 🙂
Kristin Mensch says
Awesome
Tom Bellamy says
These are very good tips!
joanne frank says
such amazing tips i will foward this to my niece so she will be ready for my great neice or nephew in July 2016 Thank You
Alycia Mundall says
Reading these made me so excited for this baby to come!!!
Elizabeth Johnson says
I've actually learned a lot and received helpful information from veteran moms they also know what should be on my registry list and I have asked around about brands some things worked for me and something did not. I definitely would pre wash everything even the rooms in the crib that the baby would be in all the new clothes old clothes we washed out and even reviewed pediatrician before baby arrived.
Angelica says
Great tips - I especially like #2. I also wanted to add that family practitioners are a great option. Often times we get so focused on pediatricians that we forget about that great option. We love having one family doctor that the whole family sees!
Tiffany Becker says
Great tips for any first time mom!!
Tiffany Becker says
Great tips for any first time mom!! This would definitely get you excited about the baby coming! When I was pregnant with my first son, me and my fiance took parenting classes because my fiance didn't know much about babies! Even though I took care of my brothers and other kids, I definitely wanted to be ready for my own kid so we both enjoyed going to the classes together!
Linda Willis says
informative
Brandy says
I'm thru the baby stages of all 5 but these are great tips
Alicia C says
Wish I had asked seasoned moms what's useful to register for. Looking back at my registry, I made so many rookie mistakes!
Renee Rousseau says
Great suggestions for any newly pregnant woman whether it is her first or last.
Jessie H says
Great tips for a first time mom, and great reminders for a second time mom! Baby boy #2 is due next month, and I need to do a lot of this stuff ?
Marie I. says
Lovely tips!
While I'm pregnant with my 4th baby and know pretty well what to expect at this point- its great to have reminders and tips I might not have thought of.
Debbie Welchert says
What a lot of great tips. I wish I had these when I was pregnant with my daughter. They would have helped out so much.
Alicia C says
I would also add, clean the house and have everything put away before baby is born - the new mom will not have time to clean after the baby arrives!
Christina G. says
These are great tips and I will pass them on to my daughter. Thanks for sharing!
Amanda Gardner says
Love the scope out peds and doctors
Alicia C says
I really agree with having meals prepared, or at least planned for, prior to baby's arrival. It was near impossible for me to cook anything with my baby, as he was very fussy and always wanted to be held. Thankfully my SO likes to cook so he had all the meals taken care of, and there was always something in the fridge I could just pop in the microwave when I got hungry.
Regina Elliott says
All these tips are good ideas like meal planning,breast feedings always a good idea to refresh your memory with each pregncy
Lauryn R says
These are all great tips for new Mother's! 🙂 Thank you for sharing!
Jenny says

Rebecca simons says
Great article
Darlene Maroni says
Oh! It is so exciting to prepare for a new baby..from decorating the nursery to having the baby shower..putting everything in place and wash all the clothing..and then to pack your bag and have everything ready and easy to grab on the way out the door..dont forget those last minute things..cell phone..chargers..etc. My baby days are done..but I so enjoy my grand children now..I think things are on a much slower pace when you become grand parents..and i know..I for one missed alot with my children because I had to work. I have had the privilege to babysit my twin 6 year old grandsons since they were born..I bask in every moment I have with them. They have an older brother 16 and a sister 14 that I also got to sit for a lot..but not daily as with the twins. I love the look a new parent has when they actually get to hold and see their child for the first time..and then when all the hype is over to watch them carefully examining every inch of their new creation they brought into this world. Words can not adequately describe that. I will end my post here. I could write so much more..but I am not the blogger lol..Thank you for sharing your tips I am sure they are helpful to any new moms that pass your page.
Lisa Garland says
I had my first child 21 years ago and now she is due in July. I am a veteran but now they have so many more baby products and baby gear, I told her she needs to check with her friends to find out on up to date items. All these tips are great and make for a more organized delivery and homecoming.
Dotty J Boucher says

Powerplantb says
Great tips for a new mom.
Sabrina TW says
Good tips. It's especially good to make sure your disaster preparedness kit is baby-ready. You never know when an earthquake, wildfire, flood, tornado, or whatever will hit and baby could come at the same time too. We just had this happen in a nearby community. Wildfire and baby arrival.

CieJay says
These are all great tips for new moms. But new moms also need to know not to worry if all those things do the get done. My 2nd baby was 2 weeks early and we didn't have everything done but everything was okay and since I was home on maternity leave I was able to get them done better than I did before she was born and I was working.
Andrea L says
Great tips for first time moms!
