Many first-time parents are surprised to find out just how much space a tiny newborn can take up in a home. And even though your baby may not need you to cook meals right away, a newborn’s things can actually take up quite a lot of space in your kitchen. Before you welcome your new little bundle of joy, you may want to contact a Plymouth, MN, kitchen remodeler and consider making the following changes to your kitchen. Adding Storage You might think your baby doesn't need a lot of storage space in the kitchen (especially if you're breastfeeding), but you may be surprised by how many things you need to keep on hand for feeding your baby. You will want to have bottles, bottle warmers, cleaners, breast milk storage, and the list goes on. When your baby gets a little bit older, you may start mixing in some baby foods and rice cereals, all of which must be kept somewhere in your kitchen as well. You may want to consider remodeling to add more cabinets to your kitchen so that you have space for all of these items. Think about making the extra storage a lower cabinet; as your child gets older, you may want your child to be able to grab his own snacks or cups when needed. You'll need a place to stow that high chair too, so consider adding a cupboard or broom closet to your kitchen. Non-Slamming Doors and Drawers Little fingers often get pinched in cabinet doors and drawers in the kitchen. To help protect your little one's tiny hands, remodel your kitchen to include doors and drawers that don't slam shut. These special cabinet features help doors and drawers to close slowly, so that fingers are less likely to be pinched. And of course, while you're at it, put some child safety locks on any cabinets that contain dangerous items or hazardous chemicals. When speaking to your Plymouth, MN, kitchen remodeler, ask about more child-friendly remodeling ideas.
