Moving with babies and toddlers adds a second job beside the furniture. Your aim is not a perfect house by evening. It is safe children, fed children and a place to sleep. These tips sit alongside house removals.
Keep routines where you can
Familiar meals and nap windows reduce meltdowns. Pack the cot bedding and a favourite toy in the essentials bag that travels with you, not in a random van carton.
Tell the crew if quiet is needed during a nap at either address. They can often work around a closed door for a stretch.
Childcare on moving day
Loading corridors are poor playgrounds. Arrange help so children are off the carry path. If that is impossible, create one safe room with a closed door and supplies, and tell every adult where that room is.
Pack a ruthless essentials bag
Nappies, wipes, spare clothes, snacks, milk kit, medication, night light if you use one, and the comforter that actually works. Include your own chargers. Assume you will not open kitchen boxes until later.
First jobs at the new house
Set up sleep space and a changing spot before sorting books. Kettle and snacks next. Familiar bedtime cues matter more than hanging curtains on night one.
