Moving with kids can be tough. This is especially true when you have a baby. Aside from packing all your stuff, you are wondering how the move will affect your baby. 

Here are a few tips to help you in packing the nursery room, plus some advice when settling to your new home:

• Before packing baby furniture, professional movers recommend taking it all apart. Follow the instruction manual when disassembling the crib and other furniture.

• When packing the glider/rocker, remove the chair from the base and refer to the manual for instructions. 

• Keep all screws and small parts in a zip top bag. 

• Clean the nursery room and sort baby items. Get rid or sell stuff you don't need. Check for functionality and consider the materials used as some may have been recalled due to safety issues. You can check Consumer Product Safety Commission website for more details. 

• Hire professional movers who are skilled in moving all your belongings so you can focus on keeping your baby safe and healthy.

• Make sure to childproof the nursery in your new home before unpacking all your baby's stuff. 

• Help your baby to adjust in the new environment and get back to his usual sleep patterns.
