Check out a list of essential items and learn how to set up a nursery.
Knowing how to set up a nursery is something that involves planning and the right information. Since you will be spending a lot of time in this room with your baby, especially in the first few weeks and months, it’s important to know which items must be on your list. Check them out!
When should I start setting up a nursery?
Most families usually wait until the fourth month of pregnancy to set up a nursery, because by then the gender is already known and it is possible to think about the colors, furniture, and other decoration items.
At that time, it’s important to define the color palette, know which room in the house will be the little one’s room, and, therefore, have an idea of how much space you have to start planning the place.
How to set up a nursery: must-have items
We brought you a list of items that can’t be missed in your little one’s room. Check it out!
Crib
Buying a crib can be a challenge, as there are so many options available. Whatever model you choose, remember to pick one approved by an institute that performs several tests to ensure your baby’s safety.
In addition, prefer functional models that adapt well to the available space. There are cribs with height adjustment, those that can be used as a bed in the future, and, if the room is more compact, cribs with a changing table. The latter is a 3-in-1 piece of furniture, essential if you want to save money and still make good use of the space in your child’s room.

Dresser and Changing Table
The dresser is another very useful piece of furniture in the nursery, as baby shoes and clothes are small and therefore do not justify the purchase of a closet. One advantage of this type of furniture is that it takes up less space and can even serve as a changing table for your baby: just adapt a foam on top and leave the necessary items within reach, such as ointments, wipes, and flexible rods.

Nursery chair
Breastfeeding is a very special moment between mother and baby and goes far beyond providing food for the child. This increases the bond between the two and, for the moment to happen satisfactorily, it is necessary that both feel comfortable.
Therefore, you can consider a nursery chair as an investment. If you want, you can choose a model with a puff, which still provides support for your feet. Using this type of furniture ensures that you have a quiet, cozy, and reserved place for you and your baby.
Side table
As you feed your baby, it’s important that you keep the things you need close by. And a nightstand is a great way to keep items like your water bottle close and within easy reach while breastfeeding.
