Essential Baby Nursery Furniture Checklist

Choosing the baby nursery furniture for your baby's new room is fun and exciting. If you are the do-it-yourself type, you may want to get some unfinished pieces and finish them just the way you like by painting, stenciling, adding decals and special knobs. You can also purchase ready to use furniture. While you may be tempted to go on a shopping spree, it is best to make a list of the essential baby nursery furniture that you can't do without.

Safe Baby Cribs

One of the important things to consider when choosing your baby nursery furniture is how long you expect to use the pieces. You may want to use some pieces for a few years. In that case, choose something that will grow with your baby. The piece of nursery furniture may look great with a baby theme but it may not look good in a child's room. The following information will help you choose the most essential pieces of furniture for a baby nursery:

Safe Baby Cribs

Baby Cribs

The baby crib could be the most important piece of nursery furniture. Your baby will spend most of his time in the crib during the first year. A baby crib can cost a few hundred dollars up to over a thousand dollars. If you are on a tight budget, you may want to consider a standard baby crib. On the other hand, if you have a few extra dollars, convertible baby cribs offer great value for the money. A convertible baby bed can be transformed into a toddler bed, day bed, or full size bed when your baby grows up.

You may also prefer a small baby bed such as a cradle, bassinet or Moses basket. Whatever baby bed you choose, make sure it is safe and durable.

Changing Table

Changing baby's diapers can be back-breaking. You will also have to bathe baby, dry him, brush his hair, trim his nails, etc. A changing table will let you do all these in comfort. Choose a table that is just above waist-high, and find one with drawers where you can store baby's diapers and outfits.

Baby Hamper

You will need a baby hamper to keep baby's used outfits. Baby's clothes must be washed separately from the rest of the family laundry. If space is a concern, you can use a laundry bag hung behind the nursery door.

Night Stand

A night stand or table is a very practical piece of baby nursery furniture. You can place a nursery lamp and nightlight on it. Drawers can hold baby's feeding items and keep you organized for night time feedings.

Rocking Chair or Glider

Morning nursing sessions will be a pleasure if you have a rocking chair or glider. This piece of baby nursery furniture comes in different designs and sizes. Find one that is most comfortable for you and you will be able to spend hours of precious bonding time with your little one.

Christmas Sales The First Years Close and Secure Sleeper, Colors May Vary Overview

The First Years Close & Secure Sleeper lets you keep your child close with the reassurance that baby is snug, secure, and comfortable next to you in your bed. Sleeper is easy to transport. When your baby is ready for the crib, you can continue to use this sleeper for an easy transition.

Christmas Sales The First Years Close and Secure Sleeper, Colors May Vary Specifications

The First Years deceptively simple Close & Secure Sleeper allows you to feed, soothe, monitor, and bond with baby in the comfort of your own bed. Meant to be used from birth until baby rolls over or pushes up on their own, the sleeper is anchored to your bed by a large flap that tucks under your mattress. The patented Airflow design of the hollow frame and breathable mesh fabric keep air circulating and baby cool.

The sleeper folds up nicely for convenient portability and compact storage.
A durable, cloth-covered U-shaped "wall" surrounds baby’s head and torso to limit their movement and help prevent parents from rolling onto them. The soft head barrier reduces the risk of entrapment, while the foot wedge--which can be used as a sleep positioner in future months--ensures baby stays snugly inside the sleep area. The supportive bottom is a cozy resting spot with the included soft cover, vinyl covered mattress, and removable, machine washable mattress sheet.

Reassurance and safety weren’t the only things The First Years folks thought of when creating this sleeper. Other benefits include its portability, a nightlight, and transitional use. For travel convenience, the Close & Secure folds up easily, is lightweight, and sports a carrying handle. Once baby has outgrown it, this feature means that it can also be compactly stored until needed again. A built-in nightlight allows you to quietly check on your bundle of joy during the night and provides enough illumination for feedings without waking your partner. When you are ready to transition baby to the crib, this sleeper can go with them--simply place it in the crib until baby is used to their new setting.

Two AA batteries are required for the nightlight.
