For the arrival of a new little member of the family, parents usually prepare in advance. You need to arrange a corner or a room, buy furniture that is comfortable in all respects for a newborn. What should be the changing table, which bed is better, should I put an armchair in this room? These and many other questions concern young parents.
How to properly prepare your baby's home
It is not recommended to buy furniture for a newborn's children's room in bright and rich colors. Walls and curtains are also better to decorate in gentle, calm shades. This will have a beneficial effect not only on the sleep and behavior of the baby, but also on the entire microclimate in the family. If you choose a wallpaper with a small pattern, the baby will easily learn to focus on pictures and details. It is advisable to get rid of carpets on the walls, as they are sources of dust.
Children's furniture for a newborn can be the simplest, even "used", the main thing is to be comfortable for baby care. Parents do not always have the opportunity and desire to allocate a separate room for the baby. Most often, the child grows up in the same bedroom with his mother. Despite this, some recommendations must be followed in order for the child to grow up he althy and active.
A few recommendations
It is very important that the room is easily ventilated. The air should be warm and dry, the lighting should be of high quality, but diffused. It is good if there is a place for the mother to rest next to the child. It can be a sofa or an armchair. It is very important to ergonomically place all items: furniture for a newborn, and mother's sofa, and a chest of drawers, and a playpen. They should not interfere with easy movement around the room, even in low night light.
Some parents try to make repairs before the baby arrives, update the wallpaper, paint the floor. It should be borne in mind that it is necessary to get rid of all odors associated with such processes. If the recommendations are neglected, the child may get poisoned, which will negatively affect his condition and even development. In the case when the repair is “late” and not all smells have disappeared, you can put several plates with ordinary table s alt in the room. In a few hours the air will be fresher.
Furniture for a newborn. What to put in the room
The big mistake is made by those parents who raise the baby in their bed. This is not only unhygienic, but can also be dangerous to the life and he alth of the child.
Children's furniture for a newborn is sold in sets and individually. The set may include a crib, a chest of drawers for children's things, a bedside table or a changing tabletable. Any of these items can be purchased separately, made independently, borrowed from relatives for a certain time.
It is very convenient to store children's things in a chest of drawers. In addition, its upper part (if you make bumpers) can also serve as a place for swaddling and hygiene procedures. A bedside table is needed to put a night lamp, feeding and water bottles, powders, ointments, oil wipes and creams on it. Pampers and diapers, undershirts and sliders are best stored in chest of drawers or on the inner shelves of the nightstand.
We will say a word about the crib
The main object in the corner for the child is his sleeping place, where he almost completely spends his time. In the old days, when families had many children, baby cribs were passed down from generation to generation. Now you can choose a model in accordance with the individual requests of the mother. After all, she will have to bend over to her beloved man many times, day and night, laying down and raising the baby. There are some tips for this:
- the folding part of the side grille should be easily and securely fixed;
- bottom position should have 2 or 3 options;
- handy if the crib has wheels, it makes it easier to move around the room;
- the distance between the slats of the walls should not exceed 5-6 cm;
- Natural wood bed does not emit toxins, stronger and more durable.
Of course, you can not do without a mattress, which is better to choose with naturalfillers: buckwheat husk, cotton wool or felt. Due to the necessary coefficient of rigidity, the child develops the spine correctly, without deflections. Diapers and bedding should be exclusively made of cotton fabrics to avoid allergies and skin irritations.
Baby furniture: shape and safety
Natural wood has always been considered the best material for making cribs, chairs and tables. Reliable and environmentally friendly, these items will be ergonomically placed in the baby's room. It is very important to ensure that the furniture for the newborn's room has a minimum number of open and protruding corners. If possible, you need to buy cribs and tables with rounded ledges. This approach will protect the child from possible injuries and bruises when he begins to move around the crib and room on his own.
Parental care and warmth can create a special world for the baby in which he will live and develop to the delight of his family.
