How to Raise a Baby in a Small Apartment

Despite your initial feelings in the hospital, you're going to want to put down your baby every once in a while. The frustrating thing is that you're going to essentially buy items that they will use for at most a year. Things like rockers, Jumperoos, and baby gates will be necessary — lifesaving even — because you can't hold them all day.

However, make sure to find devices that are collapsible and can be easily stored under sofas or beds. If your space just isn't large enough to keep baby gear out all day, you should be able to swiftly grab them out from under their hiding space.
