Nursery setup

Crib is the most essential element of any nursery so tend to make it more safe and cozy for the baby. It does not matter that what type of crib you get, but make sure that it conforms to all safety guidelines and standards that are essential to comfy the baby. Ensure that the mattress of the crib fits comfortably against the rails, so the baby can’t get blocked between them. Abreast also make sure that the crib sheet is congruous and tightly fitted such that nothing gets loose or bunched up.

Until the baby is at least a year old, avoid the use of sheets or blankets. A comforter or quilt should be purchased for décor purposes specifically for that only one year. Make sure the baby’s sleepwear is clean, soft and appropriate in terms of the climatic conditions and the temperature. You don’t want them too warm or too light, as babies can’t regulate their own body temperatures at first.

A small, foam wedge is perhaps the only crib accessory, which you want inside the crib when the baby’s sleeping; so that you can use to keep the baby from rolling on her stomach. Sleeping on her back or on her side is the position that many experts recommend at first.

Make sure that the sheets you use are always fresh and clean; use unscented detergent in case your baby’s sensitive to fragrances.

The room should be completely dust-free and so does the clutter free space beneath the crib, so that it does not accumulate dust. As if your baby is sensitive to dust, you don’t want to trigger a bout of sneezing and a runny nose at bedtime or naptime.

Choose soft, soothing, sift and restful colors for your room and the bed sheets. Too much color and contrast will stimulate the baby’s vision and keep her alert, just when you want her to wind down for bedtime or a nap. The baby’s room and the crib should be soft; as it is the place that iss calm and restful for her.
