12 NURSERY SETUP

12 Nursery setup

The crib is the most important constituent in any nursery. It has to be made really safe and cozy.
The type of the crib does not matter, but it must be made sure that it is restricted to all sorts of
guidelines and standards. The mattress must fit to the rails perfectly, so that the baby does not
get wedged in between. The crib sheets must be fit in tight and snuggled up, so that it is not
loosened or bunched up.

Do not use sheets till the baby is a year old. A quilt is best preferred for the first year. The baby's
wear must be really clean and comfortable, and should go with the weather. The baby can
regulate its body temperature; so, make sure that the clothing is right.

A foam wedge would do a great help as a crib accessory, it prevents the baby from rolling over
and sleeping on her stomach. It is suggested that the kid sleeps on her back or the side first
than on her stomach.

It is important to get the tone of the kid, keep the sheets fresh and clean, and use mild
detergents.

Make sure that the room in which the kid is kept is free of dust and the space under the crib
must be clutter free, so that it does not allow the accumulation of dust. Dust allergic kids might
get affected with sneeze and running nose.

The colors of the bed sheet must be soft and soulful. Too much of contrast and bright colors
might keep the baby awake. The crib and the room in which the baby is kept must be really
inviting and clean. The kid must feel absolute peace and cool and restful nature in the room
where she is kept.
