Tips on making house move as un-disruptive as poss to 15m old!

Any welcome... Dreading it!

Thanks!

You know what? I was totally stressed about how my toddler would react to our house move and it was totally no big deal.

I am not even sure he noticed anything beyond the fact that we now had stairs!

He was a bit older than yours, at about 22 months, but I would bet yours won't notice either!

I found keeping his / her fav toys in a bag with everythink eles thay know very well in one place so when u get to new house you can soround them with familiar things and try to arange there room 1st that way thay have there security room wear thay feel at home and try not to mess up there routeen it is hard but it can be dun I moved 6 times with my autistic son and he coped with it ok and I moved with my daughter and she was 18 m try not to stress its hard but thay sence it good luck

Toddler will be absolutely fine. Will probably enjoy having new things around, lots if interesting boxes and new rooms to investigate.

At 15 months it will completely pass him by. I really wouldnt' worry about it.

You might like to arrange for him to be looked after by someone else on the day of the move though, as you will be very busy and very stressed. Ideally, I'd find him somewhere to stay for the night too, either with you or someone else, so you don't have the stress of getting a room/food prep area/washing facilties sorted out for him (you and DH/DP can manage without all of these for 48 hours, he won't be able to).

We moved recently Dd was 16 months. She barely noticed tbh. We arranged for MIL to collect her from the new house on the move in date. It allowed us to unpack sans toddler. She had a sleep over at grandmas for a couple of nights with her cousins, by the time she came back on the Sunday her room was set up with all her bedtime toys. The playroom was set up with all her toys. She settled in without too much fuss.
