Nursery Essentials for Bringing Baby Home

For many new parents, preparing for the big day when they’ll bring their baby home can be stressful. With so many people saying to do one thing, buy another thing, and then others giving conflicting information, it’s no wonder the planning process can be stressful. The good news is that thousands of babies are born each day and the billions of new parents who have come before you have worked through it too. Let’s take a look at some of the essential items you need in the nursery before welcoming in your baby. 


Burp Cloths, Burp Cloths, and More Burp Cloths

First and foremost, you will be dealing with a lot of spit-up in the near future. There's no getting around it, but if you're prepared with burp cloths and bibs on-hand, you’ll feel less stressed and can save your favorite shirt from an accident. Fortunately, modern companies have created burp cloths with fashionable designs, meaning in addition to being practical they can also match your existing nursery décor and let you show off your style with unique and stylish patterns and designs. 


An Endless Supply of Diapers

Look at any baby shower registry, and you'll find that diapers are usually at the top of everyone's list (maybe even yours). Even if you got a few boxes of diapers from loved ones at the shower, you can never have enough. Make sure that the nursery is fully stocked with diapers for when your baby arrives. The more that you can stockpile beforehand, the fewer late-night trips to the store you’ll have to make. Just make sure you have super soft and absorbent diapers that are also hypoallergenic so they’re safe and gentle on your little one’s sensitive skin. Fun patterns and designs will also up the cuteness factor when it comes to diapers, and hypoallergenic wipes will make diapering much easier as well.


A Dedicated Changing Pad and Washable Cover

In addition to diapers, you should look into a changing pad too. A changing pad is a soft surface that elevates your baby and can be used on any table. They can be more sanitary as they are dedicated only for diaper changing, and you can even find stylish changing pad covers that are machine washable for added cleanliness. The best changing pad covers will feature unique and creative designs, and when purchased from the same brand’s collection as your blankets and other baby necessities, it’s easy to create a matching design theme for the nursery.


A Snuggly Safe Swaddle

Swaddling is an art that every new parent must master. With a swaddle, you’re essentially snuggly wrapping the baby up with their limbs gently tucked in. This prohibits movement, curbing their startle reflex as they sleep, and adds security and warmth. This also lends to helping to keep them calm and can soothe them, as it feels familiar to the womb they called home for nine months. You'll most likely need a few swaddles, but you can find sets of them with cute patterns and designs. Look for ones made with soft and breathable fabric to help regulate your baby's body temperature and keep them comfy all night long.


A Comfy Receiving Blanket

A receiving blanket is useful for a variety of purposes and can provide a soft and comfy surface for your baby to rest. Not all receiving blankets are created equal, so look for ones with multiple layers of soft, breathable fabric to create a perfectly snuggly blanket that will also keep them warm during the colder months of the year. Consider ordering a set with an attractive design that will complement the other patterns in your nursery.
