Hi all,
My baby is due in Dec and we are currently looking for a helper.
I live in a 3 room flat - one master, 2 common where one is where my mother is staying and another as the study and store room. My flat does not have a dedicated storeroom.
Initially my mother is okay to share a room with the helper but recently decided she didn't feel comfortable. And she also works by the way.
My intention was to have the help + mom in room 1 and baby room with study and store room in the other room. Now I have to rethink the arrangement.
In the 1st year I'd prob have my baby sleep in the master with my husband and I but eventually I'll move her to her own space.
Do you have a helper, a relative and a newborn and how did you arrange your space? Just looking for some ideas.
I have a couple at the moment but open to suggestions:
Option 1
- computers in living room
- helper + storeroom 1 room
- mother + baby things (clothes, changing area etc) in 1 room
- baby in master
Option 2
- computers in master (frankly i can only fit 1 desktop)
- helper + baby things in 1 room
- baby in master (on the other side of the room but cannot fit a cot, just maybe a bedside bassinet
- mother + storeroom in 1 room
Someone mentioned for me to put baby in living room but I'm not sure about that?
