The first place your baby will be spending a lot of time after arriving in the world is his or her room. You want to make it comfortable for baby sleeping and mom while feeding.
In reality, a baby needs very little at first but there are essential things that you do not want to do without.
* Safe sleep toys for comfort and companionship.
* A baby monitor that will alert you to your baby waking or in need. This is a must for your peace of mind.
* A rocking chair for evening or morning feedings. Do not feed in your bed because you can fall asleep. You need to sit up while feeding.
* A changing table where you can change diapers, dress, store diapers, wipes, lotions, etc without leaving your baby.
* Bumper pad surrounding the inside of the railings of the crib so the baby cannot get caught. Legs and feet are easily able to slide through if there is too much space between the posts.
* Diaper disposal that is sanitary and will contain any contamination.
* The good, safe crib is should be at the top of your list. Do your homework and chose the best mattress and crib with safety in mind. The looks are not as important as your baby being safe.
* A safe mattress cover that the baby cannot release and get trapped. It must fit correctly.
Your baby's room will take as much planning as any other room in your home. A well thought out design can make the difference between a happy safe child or one that has to function in chaos. To help your newborn respond in a positive way to the room, try to create a positive atomsphere through the layout and decor.
Lighting is stimulating and good for the child. Darkness is necessary for sleeping. Room darkening shades are welcome for afternoon naps in the summer.
Circulation of air and heat is so important. Clean air that is filtered will help with respiratory situations. Your baby is developing every moment and a clean environment will help with lung development.
Your priority is to protect your child. A safe environment is a healthy one.
