Organising baby’s room: Five elements to create a fantastic universe

Baby will soon be here, and you are starting to prepare his or her room? To find the indispensables as pretty as they are useful, here are a few tips to make wise choices that will make baby happy.

Are you sleeping

Creating a fantastic universe for baby is such fun! Whether you choose to sleep with your baby or the crib for the first few months, you also need to find a comfortable bed for all the nights that follow, and why not for life! Convertible beds are an intelligent choice. From crib to the double bed, through child and teen bed, this is a cost-efficient choice and a nice sustainable gift that will follow your child all his or her life.

Timeless noble materials and natural colours should be chosen. Ensure that the furniture finish is non-toxic. Style-wise, a crib with rounded corners will be safer when baby goes exploring!

Rock-a-bye baby

A comfortable ergonomic rocking chair is an essential piece in a child’s room. Not only will it be your space to cuddle with baby, it will also drop him or her into sleep. Studies conducted in Geneva and Lausanne demonstrated that the rocking motion helps us fall asleep faster, and with a deeper sleep. Discover the other benefits of rocking here.

Add a little side table close-by for a glass a water, the telephone, a book and paper to note down baby’s feeding and sleeping times.

Clean bum!

Space to change baby is among those essentials. If some have enough space for a changing table, others might prefer to drop a changing pad directly on the bureau and use one or two drawers for diapers and other products. If you prefer this option, choose a cushy pad with safety straps that is covered with a resistant vinyl!

Goodnight Moon

Blackout blinds or opaque drapes help achieve a deep sleep at nap time. Reducing the light from the window will help create an atmosphere conducive to sleeping. Also, setting a night light in the room is useful for when you must go to baby during the night. This night light will also comfort them if they wake, even more if it emits a red light. Many studies have shown that a red light helps secrete melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep. When we wake in the night, it provides a relaxing effect on the brain, helps restart the sleep cycle and reduces insomnia.
