Five Baby Nursery Furniture Essentials
Baby Nursery Furniture
There are many baby nursery furniture options available on the market today. In my opinion, you only really need five items of furniture for your baby nursery.
Somewhere to sleep — A baby crib.
If you have a few dollars to spare, convertible baby cribs are great value for money.
No matter which baby crib you decide upon, remember to take baby crib safety into account. Current baby crib safety guidelines are far more stringent than in the past. For this reason, the use of a second hand baby crib is not recommended.
Somewhere to change, dress and mess with baby — A baby changing table.
If you have chosen a baby crib with a drop down side rail this is entirely possible to do. If you do decide to purchase a baby changing table, you have a choice between the open front changing table with storage baskets, which are very pretty, or a dresser-changing table combo.
The dresser is a much more practical option, both in terms of crawling babies and nursery storage. All baby changing tables should have a safety rail and safety straps attached. Use these EVERY time you change your baby.
Somewhere for all the used baby outfits — A baby hamper.
Essential for keeping track of all those little baby clothes. A nightstand is better, because it has drawers for baby’s feeding items.
Somewhere to sit and feed baby — A nursery rocking chair or glider.
