Your Baby's Nursery

Perhaps most Mums-and-Dads-to-be envisage their new pride and joy fast asleep in a beautifully decorated Nursery. Most Dads also envisage the new Aston Martin tucked cosily away in the stable too, but then we are entitled to dream!

The early preparation of the nursery is potentially a joy. Although, colours and theme may dictate that you wait until you are sure whether there will be a boy or girl theme.

Now, wallpapering is most easily not my forte, but you do get a astounding range now of cartoon orientated papering or the cute bunnies etc. So, if the thought of attempting to line up a Minnie Mouse with her Mickey seems all too much then a neutral painted room decorated with borders and an array of stick on cartoon characters may will appeal. Furthermore, most of these stickers can be removed and allow for a differing theme from time to time. Rest assured there will be less time to strip down walls and redecorate once your baby arrives.

Windows originate light, and light awakes babies, therefore, a blackout blind may well be worth investing in. This then doesn't forestall you from choosing a lovely themed set of curtains. Do take care of the cords or strings etc that pull the blinds and curtains. Your growing baby at sometime may be able to reach these, and therefore be aware of all security issues which may arise.

The furniture may consist of a cot, wardrobe and chest of drawers (room size permitting). Placement of your cot should be safely away from any hazards such as plug sockets. Your babies hands will soon be slipping straight through the bars finding what he or she can grab!
Secondhand cots should all the time have a new mattress. all the time check as well any sharp bits or old stickers have been removed, and if the secondhand cot conforms to todays requirements.

Mobiles and glow in the dark stickers can also be great for your baby, and may give you a puny bit of extra sleep while they stay focused. Some of the lullaby toys are great too, but beware that the ones that lay near the baby could be rolled on and set off thus waking the baby. I found this out the hard way, with a Pooh Bear sing song going on at regular intervals. Even if the baby doesn't wake you are likely too.

Even the smallest of rooms can be made to look absorbing and a lovely place for your baby to sleep.

So, enjoy the fun of creating a nursery for your pride and joy's dreams.
