Preparing for the arrival of a new baby,
especially your first one, often involves months
of planning, purchasing baby supplies, clothing,
and furniture from a baby specialty store in
Toronto, completing gift registries for your baby
shower, and more. Now that the moment has arrived
and you have delivered your baby, you and your
new bundle of joy will soon be heading home.

Being Released from HospitalIf you forgot to
pack appropriate clothing prior to delivery, have
your spouse, partner, or close friend or family
member bring you comfortable clothing,
appropriate for the time of year.

New mothers do best to wear loose fitting
clothing that feels roomy, at least for the first
week or so, after delivering a baby. For your
newborn, a singlet is ideal and should be
sufficient. New mothers often tend to overdress
their newborn in multiple layers when leaving the
hospital.

This can result in your baby overheating from too
many layers of clothes. For colder times of year,
like the winter, a snowsuit put on over the
singlet and a hat are fine. It also is
recommended to have a few extra blankets to wrap
around your baby, should they start to shiver
after taking them outdoors for the first time.

Prior to leaving the hospital, it is beneficial
to schedule your babys first checkup appointment
with their pediatrician. Furthermore, take the
time to ask doctors, nurses, and other healthcare
professionals any questions you have in regards
to your babys proofig, formula, diapers,
bathing, and so on

Some hospitals and pediatricians have a special
phone number new parents can call 24/7 with any
questions and it does not hurt to ask if yours
offers this free service.

The Ride HomeWhether you are riding home in a
car or taking public transport, it is important
you have a car seat or carrier for your newborn.
It is a good idea to also have a neck support,
which is an accessory often found near the car
seats at baby stores. A neck support will prevent
your babys head from bobbing around, since they
will have little control over their neck muscles.

Have Someone Prepare Your Home Ahead of
TimeHaving to go get diapers, formula, baby
supplies, and even your favorite snacks and food
can be a real bother after giving birth. Make
sure your spouse or someone else takes care of
the small details, so once you do get home, you
can take it easy and relax.

Learn to Be Patient and Let GoYour newborns
schedule may not be what you expected. It is
important to just go with it, especially during
the first week or so home.

Plus, be prepared for an influx of visitors, who
will want to stop by and visit with you and see
your new bundle of joy. If you start to feel
overwhelmed, ask someone to watch the baby for a
few hours to have some alone time either by
yourself or to spend with your spouse.
