When did you set up babies room?

We have done everything completely- including nursery, travel system, clothes, everything…. I’m nearly 18 weeks 😂🥲

I don't even have a room to set up for the baby I'm currently pregnant with 😩 but with my first he didn't go into his room until he was about 3 years old so only then did i decorate/set it up

We are setting the room up before because that's where all the babies clothes etc will go. Basically babies store room rather than a bedroom for a while

I think its whatever will suit you. We decorated the nursery before LO was here as I didn't want paint fumes or dust around a new born but she's now 5 months and hasn't spent more than an hour in there as she's still in our room. Its great for having somewhere for all her stuff and getting her used to the room before she moves in (trying to make it a fun happy place fore her). Maybe decorate the room before baby but keep the bed in there for guests until baby is old enough to use the room. That way its a win win 😉

My partner painted the room at 30 weeks, built her wardrobe and chest of drawers last week at 34 weeks, then built her next to me cot, pram system, and installed her car seat yesterday at 35+3.

I'm now washing all of the clothes, muslins, and anything fabric and putting them away this week along with prepping our hospital bags. All I have left is for bottles to steralise which my mum will come do when I go to hospital in labour.

I’m 34 weeks now with my first and we had this same dilemma!

I had the addition of the sooner it is the babies room the sooner it stops being my work office / our guest room and I am working until week 38.

We made the decision to paint, set up wardrobe, drawers and cot and keep my desk in the corner until week 36 as there is enough room.

This meant we could start getting ahead with washing / storing clothes, nappies, bedding. And we currently use the cot with the front removed as a large easy to reach bench for me to sort from so I’m not bending over / up and down off the floor.

I did it around 26 weeks pregnant - currently 38. I found it useful to have all her clothes/bits and bobs in one place rather than all over the house, obviously she’ll be in the next 2 me for the first 6 months but it’s good to have a designated space x

We did it before, again nicer to have everything together and organised but also had a rocking chair so we used it for night feeds so the other could still sleep!

We didn't properly set up until baby was probably 3 months or so, we needed to move a bed and desk and stuff before setting up the cot, so we just had clothes in a chest of drawers in a room.

It's whatever works for you, I painted and set up the big stuff in the nursery at 20weeks because it was Christmas and I had annual leave. Figured it was beat to do it then as I was going to save 2026 annual leave for after mat. Its come in handy having the nursery as a base for clothes and all things baby, plus its nice to spend time in there for tummy time etc 😊

I was 37 weeks when we decorated and did his room x
