The birth of a baby is a significant event, for which everyone prepares in advance, and not only from the psychological point of view. Parents try to create all the necessary conditions for a newborn child and equip a nursery for him. Many people pay attention to the design of the room, but it is not as important as some other aspects.
What should be present in a room for a newborn baby
First of all, cleanliness is important for the baby. Before he is in the house, every single repair work, especially painting, must be completed. It is also worth taking care of the lighting. Do not give preference to too bright light, good enough, but diffused light. In advance, you should think about how the newborn's room will be ventilated, since in the future this should be done regularly. Just keep in mind that there should be no drafts in any case!
As for furniture, first of all, make sure that the baby has a cot. The best option would be a wooden cot, which has a bottom height adjustment function and side panels are removed. The mattress should be purchased only from natural fillers, otherwise the child may experience allergic reactions to the artificial material.
A wardrobe with a shelf is also an integral part of a child's room. It is advisable that it contains not only shelves for clothes, but also a place where you can put things the baby needs, like a powder, a bottle and other things. When installing this furniture, keep in mind that it should always be at hand.
If you have the opportunity to purchase a changing table, then go for it. The only drawback of this item is that it is needed only in the first 2-3 months, because it is after this period of time that the baby begins to roll over and, it is only worth distracting for a minute, and he has already fallen.
Do not forget to install a night light in the nursery of a newborn baby. Babies, as a rule, often wake up in the middle of the night, so a dim side light will come in handy more than ever.
When arranging a nursery, you also need to take care of your mother and purchase a small sofa or couch for her. This furniture will be useful when you have to calm down your child in the middle of the night and be near him.
What should not be in the nursery of a newborn
If, first of all, cleanliness is important for the baby, then it is easy to guess that there should be no dust, dirt and mold in his room. It is better to give up carpets and cover the floor with varnish - this will make it easier for you to clean the floors. Also, do not clutter up the room with any books or other objects that can accumulate dust on themselves.
You should not choose beautifully designed curtains with all kinds of folds and draperies. If used, they will only become an additional source of dust. The best option is roller blinds or roman blinds.
Household appliances also have no place in a newborn's room. There should be no cords or other things on the floor that a mother with a baby in her arms can trip over. In other words, everything should be kept to a minimum in the baby's room, that is, only the most necessary things.
