A new house brings with it new dreams and aspirations for the family moving in. However, if you are a mum, you may find the whole process emotionally and physically draining. Since packing, moving and unpacking could be tiring and stressful, having a baby to care for is one more thing to worry about. Here’s our handy guide to make your moving easier:

TAKE PRECAUTIONS: Packing and unpacking means loads of mess in the Indian context. Neha Chopra, a new mum has recently moved to a new house in Mumbai. She feels that exposure to dust can mean allergic reactions triggered by dust for you and your toddler—sneezing, coughs and cold, red eyes and irritability. “Keep relevant medicines handy and try boosting your and child’s immunity through Vitamin C-rich foods and fruits. Make sure you and your husband take turns taking children out to play in open areas so that they can breathe in fresh air, instead of sitting cooped in front of screens,” says Neha.
