Clock’s ticking, got everything yet?
Making decisions — it’s all parents do when expecting a little one on the way. Everything from figuring out parenting styles down to the diapers baby would wear, there’s not a single thing that doesn’t need pondering over. But at least there’s still one aspect that is fun to work on: the baby’s nursery. It’s where we’ll be spending most of our time, so naturally, the baby’s room should be aesthetic and practical. That way, we’ll have something to look forward to ( Yes, even 4 a.m. feedings) when baby gets cranky. For first-time parents, building a nursery can be baffling. Though fret not, we’re armed with the best brands and essentials a baby can get.
The Cot
As the proud centerpiece of the room, the baby’s cot should be anything but dull. Cue in this grey Mamas and Papas bassinet that’s equipped with everything you’d want in a baby’s bed. It’s impressively a collapsible crib complete with built-in storage and changer, making it compact enough for small living spaces. That’s not all, the adjustable incline options make it a dream come true for parents nursing infants with reflux.
Baby Bedding
Babies are squishy, hence anything not padded will come off as rock hard to them. Instead of laying baby on a pure surface, grant them the utmost comfort via a Babycuddle bed. It’s essentially a 3-in-1 that includes a bed, blanket, and infant head pillow. They’re great for mimicking a mother’s embrace in the cot, be used as a changing pad when on the go, and as an activities mat when baby engages in tummy time.
Playmat
The first few months of babyhood entail pure bliss, but as the little one starts crawling, parents might get paranoid over babyproofing. The sharp corners, the heavy furniture, and even the floor are all hazardous risks. So, better get peace of mind by lining the floor with a playmat. Babycare Mats has large ones that are waterproof, BPA-free, and embellished with educational elements that are perfect for baby’s brain stimulation.
Virtual Storybooks
Start them young they say because reading to your child helps develop their creativity and cognitive skills. Even if they’re way underaged for it, babies still reap the benefits through the visuals. Make sure the story’s told via Moonlite’s storybook projector for an immersive experience. The state-of-the-art device projects the story and text while playing sound effects. What’s more astonishing is that it requires no batteries!
Toys
There’s always an urge for parents to impulse buy toys for their children. Well, rather than piling up on stuffed toys and figurines, how about something educational like this Fisher-Price tablet? It’s equipped with lights, sounds, and phrases. What’s more, learning also changes as the baby grows. Featuring over 100 songs, sounds, tunes, and words, your baby’s already winning at the finishing line by the time he reaches kindergarten.
Puzzle Books
Perhaps not a must now but puzzle books are a necessity as the baby gets older. At the stage when sitting down becomes impossible, a book of fun and games should entertain, especially this version by Stephen Joseph that opens into 4 incredible puzzles. It’s compact to fit into any diaper bag and also magnetic so you won’t be able to lose any pieces.
