This is our baby preparing period — from 16 October 2026 until the baby arrives, expected in mid-to-late January 2027. These first few months are not about testing how hard you work. They are for us to build the routines together, get everything ready for the baby, and learn how we will live alongside a newborn. So please speak up if something does not work. 这是我们的备产期——从 2026 年 10 月 16 日起，直到宝宝出生（预计 2027 年 1 月中下旬）。这头几个月不是考你勤不勤快，而是我们一起把日常流程立起来、把迎接宝宝的准备做好，也一起学习日后怎么和新生儿相处。哪里不顺，请直接说。
We walk you through the whole home — where things live, how we use them, and what each standard looks like. You try things out; we correct as we go, and nothing is held against you.我们带你走一遍家里——东西放哪儿、我们怎么用、每项标准什么样。你试着做，我们边看边说，这期间做错不算数。
You run the day your own way, and we only spot-check. We start noting how long each task actually takes, so we can tell whether the day's schedule is right.你自己按节奏做，我们只抽查。我们开始记录每项实际花多久，用来看一天的 schedule 排得是否合适。
We adjust the schedule and the list based on what we have learned, and get everything ready for the baby, who is due in mid-to-late January 2027. One thing to note: during this period, please be especially careful about safety whenever the pregnant person is at home.根据前两个月的实际情况调整时间表和工作内容，同时把迎接宝宝的准备做好——宝宝预计 2027 年 1 月中下旬出生。有一点要说明：这段时间孕妇在家的时候，请特别注意安全。
Every month we will sit down for half an hour, and you will fill in your side too — it is not a one-way report. 每个月我们坐下来聊半小时，你也要填你自己那一栏——这不是单方面给你打分。
Does each room match section 3? Is it holding steady week to week?每个房间是不是达到第三部分的要求？每周是不是稳定？
Are the priority tasks getting done first?该先做的是不是都先做了？
Spotting small things on your own — food about to go off, something running low?能自己发现小事吗——快过期的食物、快用完的东西？
Do the three firm rules get kept? Do you tell us when something goes wrong?三条硬规定有没有守住？出了差错会不会说？
Do you come to us when something is difficult?遇到难处会不会来找我们？
Too much — let us cut something · about right · there is room for more太满，减一些 · 正合适 · 还能再加
5 means better than we expected; 4 means just right; 3 means fine but a detail to tidy up; 2 means something to work on together; 1 means it needs fixing now. Nothing here is a trap — the most useful outcome is an honest conversation.5 分是比我们想的还好；4 分是正合要求；3 分是基本可以，有个细节要改；2 分是需要我们一起努力；1 分是必须马上改。打分不是为了找茬，最有用的结果是一次说真话的谈话。
Our baby is due in mid-to-late January 2027. We would rather write these things down properly once we have met the baby and know what we actually need, instead of guessing now. When the time comes, we will fill this in together.宝宝预计 2027 年 1 月中下旬出生。有些事与其现在凭空设想，不如等见到孩子、知道真实需要之后再写。到时候我们一起把这一节补上。
How bottles are cleaned and sterilised, how formula is made, and how we keep track of feeds.奶瓶怎么清洗消毒、奶粉怎么冲、怎么记录喂奶。
Bathing, changing, cord care, and washing the baby's clothes separately.洗澡、换尿布、脐带护理、宝宝衣服单独洗。
The rules that never change — never out of sight, no phone, safe sleep.永远不变的那几条——不离开视线、不用手机、睡眠安全。
Whether night care is shared, and how we take turns.夜里要不要分担、怎么轮换。
Who to call, where we go, and what to do first for choking or a fever.打给谁、去哪家医院、呛到或发烧时先做什么。
