Creating the Perfect Baby Nursery

When you’re planning your baby's nursery, there are many things that you’ll need in order to create a perfect space for your new little bundle of joy. You have probably thought about what you want the nursery to look like for many months, but do you know which qualities are essential for the perfect nursery?

Must-Have Nursery Furniture

First and foremost, you need to plan for your nursery furniture. Cribs, dressers, changing tables, rocking chairs or gliders, and armoires are all very important in a baby's room. Your nursery furniture should be durable, high quality and safe for your precious new baby.

Appropriate Lighting

Next, the perfect nursery needs great lighting to make it cozy as you will be spending a lot of time there rocking, feeding, and changing your baby. Look for lights and lamps with dimmer switches for nighttime feedings and changes. Consider a light fixture that compliments both the baby furniture and the theme you've chosen.

Fun Theme

Speaking of themes for the baby's nursery, having one is essential for pulling everything in the room together. Pick a theme that you love and that your baby will enjoy looking at as he or she gets older. Don’t feel like everything needs to match, however. Be creative and mix in different pieces to create the perfect nursery.

Storage for Everything

You will need to have adequate storage for all of your baby's things. Wall shelves, toy boxes, and closet organizers are a must for any nursery. This way, all the toys, clothes, books, and other baby accessories will have the perfect home in your baby's room.

Important Baby Carrier Safety Tips to Remember

An infant carrier is an essential piece of baby gear that is convenient for parents and provides comfort for the baby, but an infant carrier can be dangerous if you aren't careful. Here are some important safety tips to remember when taking your baby out in a baby carrier:

• Read the instructions. You'll learn how to put the carrier on, how to buckle your baby into it, and how to wash and care for it so it doesn't become damaged. Failure to read all the directions and safety warnings could lead to your baby getting hurt.
• Practice putting the carrier on before you put your baby into it. Have someone help you if possible. Put the carrier on and take it off several times so you are proficient at it.
• Practice putting the baby into the carrier. Start by using a doll or stuffed animal. Then practice strapping the baby in while the carrier is on the floor. The first time you put the carrier on and put the baby in, have another adult around to help.
• Always buckle the baby in and make sure all the straps and safety devices are in place. You don't want your baby sliding out or tumbling over the top. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines about the weight and height of the baby and which direction to face the baby.
• Never do anything dangerous with the baby in the carrier. Don't cook or handle hot liquids, don't bend over suddenly or without holding onto the baby, don't smoke with the baby on your chest, and always be mindful of the baby's arms and legs to prevent injury. A baby carrier can be a new parent's best friend, but you have to very careful to make sure your baby stays safe.

Healthy Foods to Feed Your Baby in Your New High Chair

Besides your baby's crib, the high chair is one of the most important pieces of baby furniture you'll need. You'll use it multiple times a day when you feed your baby nutritious foods. Here are some of the healthy foods your baby will love to eat while sitting in his or her new high chair:

Fruits:

• Bananas are great for babies because they are healthy, soft, easy to eat, and easy to prepare: just peel, slice, and serve! Cut bananas into round slices and then into quarters to prevent choking.
• Watermelons are another fun fruit for babies. This mushy melon is great for babies to gnaw on since it just dissolves away. It's full of healthy nutrients like lycopene and beta carotene.
• Apples that are peeled and cut into small pieces are also tasty and healthy treats for babies. Apples can be fun for teething babies to gum, and they are packed with vitamins and fiber that kids need.

Vegetables:

• Green beans are a staple of baby food, but you can skip the jarred kind and feed your baby steamed green beans either mashed or cut into small pieces. If your baby can feed himself, green beans are a fun food to try.
• Sweet potatoes are a year-round baby favorite. Mash a few up with a touch of cinnamon and brown sugar, and you've got a healthy alternative to mashed potatoes. You can also bake them up into sweet potato fries, which are perfect for snacking in their high chair.

Dairy:

• Yogurt is a yummy baby food. You can add yogurt to baby cereal or feed it to your little one by itself. You'll love that yogurt is full of the probiotics and calcium your baby needs.
• Cheese cubes are another staple for hungry babies. Try different flavors of mild cheese cut into small pieces and add crackers for a healthy, filling snack before dinner.
