For the first time moms, preparing and baby-proofing a nursery room is the most exciting yet concerning part of being pregnant. Some moms would spend thousands for a safe and comfy nursery room of their little one. Others make the mistake of going crazy buying baby stuff while still not knowing the gender of the baby or worse – buying unsafe items because they seem cheaper.

Fixing the room for the babies is quite thrilling. From the walls, furniture, down to the clothes and all the necessities of the babies. A mom’s excitement is uncontainable in this area but beware of the things that you should buy or use in the nursery room.

Here are some smart parenting tips to guide you in preparing your nursery room:

• Non-toxic wall paint. Choose a non- toxic paint that doesn’t give off toxic molecules that will harm your baby/children. Choose a light color to reduce eye strain.

• High-quality cribs. There are a few things to look out for when buying a crib – from splinters, choking or strangulation hazards, exposed nails or screws, or baby crib gates that don’t lock properly and could fall off any moment. Pick a high-standard crib that can be used for a long time.  Make sure that the crib is not painted with toxic  paint as well.

• Furniture. For all the furniture that you’re going to buy, make sure that the corners must be round or if not, securely put some foam in the corners for the babies’ safety, but always be wary of choking hazards.

• Baby-proofing electricals. Don’t leave electrical wirings exposed. Babies tend to grab anything she/he sees. You can also get child-proof plug socket covers to prevent your little one from plugging conductive items like forks of metal wires from toys. 

For the clothes and bottles:

• For bottles, plastic bottles are safe if it’s FDA approved. It’s safe for babies to use.

• 1 baby bottle brush

• 1 nipple brush

• 6-12 bibs

• 1 breast pump with storage bottles (if you’re breastfeeding)

• 12 burp cloths, receiving blankets, or clean cloth diapers

For baby clothes, don’t forget long sleeves, jumpsuits, kimono tops, hats, and socks. The clothes should warm the babies since their tiny body still can’t adjust to the temperature.
