You are absolutely right. I might be a bit marked by my first child in this regard. But of course, every child is different and none of this can be planned.Is this baby already here, because the entire floor plan is supposed to be rearranged for it? Either way, I would seriously reconsider whether I would turn the whole house layout upside down just because of a phase that only lasts a short time. Babies are very individual; who knows if the constellation "we are in the living room, the baby is sleeping upstairs" even applies to you? There are many babies who are very clingy. And then there are ours, who don't care about anything and just want to sleep in peace. With both types, you actually don't have to run back and forth all the time. If they really are still at an age where you have to constantly fuss over them — mind you, mine is now 4 months old and this phase is already over — then you usually have them with you all the time anyway, because anything else hardly makes sense. Long story short: anticipating baby behavior and needs is almost impossible. The high maintenance phase lasts less long than you think.
