What needs to go in a nursery?

When you’re thinking about nursery ideas for girls, it’s very easy to get caught up in how to make things look picture-perfect.

But there are some important things that any nursery needs to help you care for your peanut and keep the room clean and organized.

So how do you set up a baby girl nursery?

Here are some basic furniture and supplies you could consider.

A crib or bassinet

Your baby needs a safe place to sleep.

Make sure you keep the area free of soft toys and blankets.

Here are the recommendations from the CDC for making a safe sleep space.

A mattress

Don’t forget the mattress when you’re ordering your crib or bassinet!

Your little one will need something comfy but firm.

Plus waterproof mattress protectors to make sure the mattress stays clean and dry.

Bedding

You’ll need a fitted sheet to cover the mattress in your baby’s crib or bassinet.

You should probably get at least three to make sure you have spares if your baby leaks or spits up in the night.

A changing table

If you don’t have room for a table, you can put a changing pad on top of an existing dresser.

You’ll need several changing pads as they’re sure to get dirty quite often.

Diaper storage

Baby will need lots of diapers and other changing items like wipes and cream.

A feeding chair

You’ll want somewhere to sit comfortably when you’re feeding your little one.

A hamper

Your peanut will go through lots of clothes in a day.

It’s easier to pop her dirty things in a hamper by the changing table so you can throw them in the wash all at once.

A diaper pail

Again, keep this by the changing table so you can throw the dirty diapers away quickly.

You’ll want something airtight to keep odors to a minimum.

A baby monitor

Unless you’re sleeping in the same room as your baby, you’ll want a baby monitor to keep an eye on her.

How do you decorate a baby girl’s room?

So, you’ve made your list of nursery essentials and now it’s time to decide on how to decorate your little girl’s room.

Do you want it to be colorful or neutral?

Are you going to choose a particular theme, like a favorite cute animal?

Do you have to get smart with storage because you only have a small room?

We’ve collected our favorite nursery ideas for girls to inspire you.

1. Muted pink and gray

If you’re looking for baby girl room decorating ideas, a pink and gray combo is a good place to start.

This palette keeps the vibe soft and sophisticated rather than cutesy.

There are also some grown-up touches here, like the wooden chandelier and shelving.

This will keep the room from feeling too baby-ish as your little one grows up or if you decide to use the room for something else.

2. Calming pastels

Did you know that bright colors are more stimulating for babies?

If you want your little one to stay relaxed in their nursery, you could choose one or more pastel colors to decorate the room.

Lots of soft toys and baby blankets come in these muted tones too.

And just because it’s a girl’s room doesn’t mean you have to choose pink!

Light and medium shades of blue are said to be calming for babies and adults alike.

3. Warm sunny tones

But on the other hand, maybe calm and relaxing isn’t your style!

In this little girl’s room, warm pops of color draw the eye and make the whole space look interesting.

Sunny yellow bursts and colorful polka dot patterns will delight your little girl.

And you can easily find bedding and accessories to match the classic muted walls and rug.

Including plenty of shelving for books allows you to choose the perfect story to send her right to sleep, too.

4. Secret garden

5. Starry skies

6. Into the jungle

Help

My 5 week old is always up from 1am every hour grunting and squeaking and just won’t sleep. I end up having to bring him with me and I’m worried I’m creating a rod for my own back. I’m exhausted. First half of the night he’s okish. But from 1/2 it’s absolute hell. He farts a lot then as well but I just dunno what to do. Last night was the worst it’s been.

Not sure what’s wrong- 5months

Has anyone experienced any of the below problems with their baby?
He’s always a happy baby so this is completely not him. He’s a terrible sleeper but now it’s worse, if it could.

He’s was EBF but now on formula for the last 2 weeks. 2 days in a row now he’s vomitted a lot of milk out everywhere in the evening and just before bed.
For example I was walking around the room with him around 18:45 and it just came out of no where everywhere.

He’s very miserable and takes ages to get to sleep. Crying lots.
He’s been dribbling a lot, flushed one cheek but I can’t see any teeth coming.

All night he just won’t settle in his cot. Sometimes just starts crying hysterically and I can’t settle him at all.

A very tired mama.

Any advise on what it could be?

Sleeping through

If your baby is sleeping through the night are you ever nervous about saying that to other parents with babies of the same age? My toddler no longer sleeps through without coming into our bed but did until about 11 months old and now my 11 week old has been sleeping solid for 3 or 4 weeks now. I always feel like I can’t say it to other mums because it comes across like I’m showing off…I know what the sleep deprivation feels like and how you can just resent anyone for anything🤣 but I kind of feel like I can’t relate sometimes.

Pregnancy insomnia??!

Hey, I’m 28 weeks and this is my 3rd baby. For the past 2 weeks I am able to get to sleep fine but really struggling with 3-4am wake ups. Once I wake up I cannot get back to sleep, meaning come 9-10am I am absolutely exhausted. Has anyone gone through this and is able to shed some tips on what might help

Is there any correlation between sleeping through the night and types of feeding?

Did your baby age 0-6months sleep through the night, 6 hours or more, and how were they fed? It always see like formula fed babies sleep through the night sooner than breastfed babies.
