Nursery Essentials
As a mom of two young kiddos, I've spent countless hours designing and perfecting nursery spaces. The right products can transform a simple room into a haven of comfort and style for both you and your little one. What do you really need in a nursery? What is the most important item in a baby nursery? And, what can you skip?
Today, I'm thrilled to share my list of nursery essentials that will help you create a dreamy and functional nursery.
Newton Baby Crib Mattress
Safety and comfort are paramount, and the Newton Baby Crib Mattress delivers both. Its breathable design reduces the risk of suffocation and overheating, giving you peace of mind. I could always rest assured when my daughter would decide to sleep completely face down! Plus, it's entirely washable, making it a practical choice for those inevitable accidents.
Muslin Fitted Crib Sheets
Soft, breathable, and oh-so-cozy, muslin crib sheets are a staple in any nursery. When inevitable accidents happened, I found myself only reaching for the muslin sheets with my first baby. With my second baby, I bought even more muslin sheets, and threw out all the others! These sheets provide a gentle surface for your baby’s sensitive skin, ensuring they sleep soundly through the night. My favorite is the mushie Extra Soft Muslin Fitted Crib Sheet.
Ubbi Steel Diaper Pail
If you are wondering what is absolutely essential in a nursery - a diaper pail that truly contains the stink is a must! Say goodbye to unpleasant odors with the Ubbi Steel Diaper Pail. Unlike plastic pails, this steel option locks in odors and uses standard trash bags, saving you money on refills. Its sleek design and 14 color options fit seamlessly with any nursery décor. Not only is it easy on the eyes, I can attest, it really does keep the skink contained!
Keekaroo Peanut Changer
The Keekaroo Peanut Changer is a game-changer. Trust me - skip the wipe warmer and go for this changing table essential instead! This comfortable changing pad is water-resistant, making it easy to clean. It doesn’t require additional covers, which means fewer items to wash. Its unique peanut shape keeps your baby secure during changes. Our Keekaroo Peanut Changer is still going strong, and stain-free, 4.5 years later!
Convertible Crib
A Comfortable Recliner
A comfortable chair is essential for those late-night feedings and snuggles. The CHITA Power Recliner Chair Swivel Glider is a perfect choice. It offers a power reclining feature, swivel function, and built-in USB charging port for ultimate convenience and comfort. From a mom who has dealt with a noisy reclining hair in the past, I can tell you that the power reclining feature is a MUST-HAVE to avoid waking that precious babe you just rocked to sleep!
Indoor Plants
Bamboo Pendant Light
Dresser/Changing Table
Bookshelf
Creating a nursery is such an exciting journey. With these nursery essentials, you'll have a space that’s not only beautiful but also functional and safe for your little one. Happy decorating!
