How to Prepare for Baby’s Arrival (Physically, Mentally & Emotionally)

Bringing a new baby into the world is exciting, overwhelming, and life-changing. While many parents focus on nursery décor or baby gear, true preparation goes far beyond. In Singapore, preparing for your baby means planning for your space, your mental well being, and your emotional resilience.



Physical Prep: Make Your Home Baby-Ready

Maximise small spaces with foldable furniture and vertical storage. Essentials include a cot, newborn clothes, diapers, and swaddles.

Don’t overbuy—focus on what your baby will need in the first three months.

Plan your confinement:

Mental Prep: Reset Expectations

Parenthood is beautiful but messy. You’ll be tired and learning daily. Chat with your partner about who does night feeds and how to support each other emotionally.


Emotional Prep: Trust Yourself

Family may offer advice—but it’s okay to follow your instincts. Confidence grows with each cuddle and cry you soothe.
