Make sure they know where mom and dad sleep. It’s a given that your toddler will wake up during the night. Sometimes they will be confused and forget they are in a new home and freak out.

Try to set up they new room with the same layout as their old room. We realize this isn’t always possible when moving into a new home but it will help your toddler adjust to their new surroundings if they see some similarities.
On moving day, try to find a baby sitter! Trust us, when you are trying to unload all your boxes and tell the movers where to put each piece of furniture looking for the best workers comp attorneys, the last thing you’re going to want is kids running around your feet.
