Top 5 Tips In Setting Up Your Baby’s Nursery

November 21st, 2009 by jennie

It is an exciting time to prepare your baby’s nursery but knowing the right time is also important. Some parents may choose to have it done while the mother has just received the good news that she’s pregnant. Other parents prefer to set up the baby’s nursery together with the construction and interior design of their homes.

Normally if you plan and set-up the nursery in advance, neutral colors are incorporated to ensure that the room will fit the baby’s gender. White, beige and cream are the most common color schemes for a neutral room. A few updating once the baby’s gender is determined can be done to make sure that the room is comfy and appropriate.

Once you’ve determined the gender of your baby, it’s ideal to plan the completion of the interiors and purchase other necessities for the nursery.

Here are top 5 tips in setting-up your baby’s nursery for its completion to make it baby-ready:

1. If you haven’t selected the right furniture yet for your little one, make sure that you prioritize the bigger furniture pieces first and foremost. These pieces are normally moderately-priced to expensive, so make sure that you have the budget or prioritize in spending your budget for the more important pieces. The baby’s crib is the most important as of this time because it is the place for baby’s rest and relaxation.

A changing table is also important and these days it is incorporated with a dresser to keep all of your baby’s clothes and stuff in.

Make sure that you have a bed for mom or for any adult in the house who will be assigned to stay with the baby each night. Younger infants should not be left alone in a nursery unless you have a baby camera or monitoring device inside. It is a safety precaution nowadays, so you might as well invest on those too.

2. Other baby-friendly necessities such as bedding materials, bedding sets, toys and activity sets should be examined first before you buy them.

Make sure that the materials are safe and non-toxic for your baby. If he/she is vulnerable to allergens, make sure that the material of her beddings is hypoallergenic.

3. You may want to plan and purchase for furniture that can be used for a long period of time. Dressers and a bed you are planning to buy should be made of tough materials to ensure that your baby can use them for years. These are bigger pieces of furniture so invest on them wisely.

4. The decor of your baby’s nursery can be based on a theme such as a cartoon character, flora and fauna themes, or a generic theme that can be updated as the child grows older.

As mentioned earlier, if you plan ahead and included the nursery in the overall interior design of your home, a neutral palette can be used. Complementary design can be used via incorporating furniture, curtains and other stuff that can add life and fun to your baby’s nursery.

Upgrading some paint job is also advisable just make sure to do this while the baby is still unborn and once you’ve determine its gender. Make sure to use non-toxic and odorless paint.

5. Once all the upgrading and furniture are ready, you can arrange the interiors of the nursery to make it baby-friendly and safe for everyone. It is ideal to keep the nursery free from clutter and too much unnecessary furniture and accessories. It is important that you can move around freely and that there is ample space. As much as possible, do not overcrowd the nursery with too much toys and things that the baby won’t enjoy at this time.

Planning for a baby’s nursery is a fun idea. The key is to keep it safe, simple and spacious for everyone. Only buy the necessary furniture and when you do, make sure to check each piece for safety and sturdiness to keep your baby happy and safe at all times.

Decorating Your Baby’s Nursery

November 3rd, 2009 by jennie

Congrats! Your expecting and you are ready to decorate your baby’s nursery! Many mothers already have the nursery planned out before their baby is born, but some mothers wait until they have a baby shower to receive all of the necessities.

First and most important, is to decide where you want your precious bundle to sleep. Some parents start out with a bassinet and then later move onto a crib or some prefer to co-sleep, but that is the most important decision so you can decide if you should purchase a crib now or in a couple of months when your baby is older. The second important item is a changing table. Changing tables vary in style and design. Is your baby’s nursery small? Perhaps a changing table complete with drawers and cabinets would more suit your needs to hide away extra diapers, wipes and blankets. The third essential item is a dresser, you will need a place to store all of your baby’s clothing.

Decide on a color scheme. Step back and look at the room, would a light pink do if you are having a baby girl, or maybe blue if you are having a boy? Some parents match the nursery décor to the wall color and curtains. This is the fun part of decorating and is all up to your imagination! A small lamp is also essential, especially for nighttime feedings and do not forget the baby monitors! You will need one for the baby’s nursery and one for your room. Decide where the monitor will go, most parents put the monitor on their baby’s dresser.

Lastly, and most important is making sure that the furniture you purchase is safe, stay away from chemically treated wood.

Just curious…what colors/themes/styles are all you soon-to-be mom’s decorating your nursery in?

How Do You Wash And Dry Your Baby’s Soft Cloth Toys?

October 1st, 2009 by jennie

Hand wash?
Dishwasher?
I think the toys mention just to take a cloth with water/soap and scrub the surface.
Do you lay them on a towel to dry? Hang them up? Place in the dryer?
Thanks!
