Trivia
- Mr. Ratburn was called 'Emil' by his mom, but later seasons renamed him as Nigel.
- Kate was shown before, in "Arthur's Spelling Trubble."
Errors
- T-shirts should never be tucked into diapers; nonetheless, this mistake continues to be done. The only character to be properly seen with the shirt hanging out of the diaper was Arthur when he was a baby.
- When David and Jane said that they're waiting 6 months for the baby to arrive, Arthur was wearing glasses, even though the events of "Arthur's Eyes" appeared to take place only approximately a month and a half before Kate was born. This mistake also happened in the book.
- In the scene where Arthur and D.W. go to see Kate at the hospital, a teddy bear can be seen in one of the cribs with the other sleeping babies.
- When Jane asks Arthur to watch Kate, Kate was wearing blue pants. Few seconds later, they changed back into her regular clothes.

Production notes
Differences from the book
- Kate's bassinet was purple; although in the book, it was white (as well as on the cover illustration).
- The videos of Arthur and D.W. as babies showed Arthur as a toddler at the age of 1 and D.W. when she was just a baby with a lot of crying. In the book, it was a photo album that showed Arthur wearing a cowboy hat and crawling at 9 months and sitting in a high chair with a bowl of food on his head and eating at the age of 1, and D.W. when she was 2 months old and when she was 5 months old.
- When D.W. diapers a load of toys, Arthur had spotted his Bionic Bunny action figure wearing a diaper (which angered him), and then he quickly took the diaper off of Bionic Bunny. In the book, the Bionic Bunny action figure wasn't featured, and D.W. was only diapering her dolls.
