When should you start doing a baby room?
Many parents set up the nursery during the second trimester, but there’s no problem with diving in as soon as you feel ready. Alternatively, it’s OK if you haven’t prepared the baby’s room yet because of other priorities. Newborns nap a lot, so they won’t notice that the space isn’t perfect. In fact, they might sleep in your room or the living room in a bassinette for the first few months anyway.What should be in a newborn room?
Every nursery has a few basic essentials:- A crib
- A changing table
- A lamp
- A wardrobe or chest of drawers for those tiny socks and outfits
- Storage for diapers, plush, and other baby items
- An infant to toddler rocker or glider
for nursing or for soothing cuddles.
Other items you might include are a laundry hamper, a diaper pail or trash can, a mirror (babies love to look at themselves), a baby bouncer, and a soft rug for tummy time, crawling, or play.
How do I organize my toddler and baby room?
It’s best to keep large bulky items, such as a baby stroller, out of the nursery so that it doesn’t take up valuable space. (Try storing it in the entryway, a closet, or even a car trunk.)As far as clothing, fortunately, baby and toddler wear is small, so it’s easier to corral. Some parents tuck bodysuits in the compartments of an over-the-door organizer since babies change often. Try grouping clothing by size or by matching sets in drawers. Line up little shoes and boots on a shelf, and use sectional dividers in drawers to match mittens, booties, hats, and headbands.
For toys and books, choose grown-up storage, such as a stately dresser or chest of drawers that can flow right into a toddler or tween’s room. Cube storage with baskets and bins also helps keep things neat yet within reach, so you can encourage youngsters to tidy up as they become more independent.
How do I upgrade my toddler room?
Aside from adaptable storage, your main upgrade at this stage is a big-kid bed, whether converting a crib or purchasing a toddler bed. Bed rails for safety and a nightlight can ease this transition. Also, ask for your child’s input on new bedding, including sheets and comforter. Favorite characters and colors develop their personality and make their room more comfortable.No interest if paid in full within 12 Months††
