Start with the routines you expect
- List the spaces, caregivers, travel, laundry, and storage routines you expect to have.
- Keep the first version focused, then add items as needs become clear.
- Separate products that need current manufacturer documentation from nice-to-have ideas.
- Discuss timing and readiness questions with your pediatrician.
