Nursery decoration themes and color schemes are up to you, of course, but here are some basic guidelines for setting up a safe and comfortable nursery.
Things You’ll Need:
- Baby Backpacks
- Baby Mobiles
- Bassinets
- Crib Mattresses
- Cribs
- Diaper Changing Tables
- Garbage Cans
- Gliders
- Hampers
- Linens
- Night Lights
- Baby Clothes Hangers
- Toy Chests
Step 1:
Set up a crib. Make sure the crib meets safety standards - bars should not be wider than 2 3/8 inches apart, and there should be no gaps between the mattress and the frame. Look for a crib with railers that lower so you can pick up the baby easily.
Step 2:
Get a mattress and linens for the crib. Make sure the mattress is firm and fits the crib snugly.
Step 3:
Consider purchasing a bassinet for newborns, who often like the cozy fit.
Step 4:
Set up a changing table with a pad cover. Make sure the changing table has a safety belt and a guardrail to protect your baby.
Step 5:
Stock the changing table with clean diapers, baby powder and baby creams within easy reach. Keep a lidded garbage can and a laundry hamper close to the changing table for easy access.
Step 6:
Include a soft night-light in the nursery. Bright lights can leave baby wide-awake after midnight feedings.
Step 7:
Hang a mobile over the crib to keep baby stimulated.
Step 8:
Decorate the nursery with favorite photos, quilts, stuffed animals (outside of the crib) and special family mementos.
Step 9:
Stock up on baby coat hangers for fancier baby attire. Adult hangers might rip the tiny outfits.
Step 10:
Consider a glider as a worthwhile investment for the nursery. A glider is safer than a rocking chair because it doesn’t have runners, which can pose a hazard to youngsters once they begin to crawl. Even after baby outgrows the nursery, a glider will be useful for bedtime readings.
