The Most Important Part Of Any Nursery Is The Crib. You Want To Make It Safe And Cozy. No Matter What Type Of Crib You Get, Make Sure It Conforms To All Safety Guidelines And Standards. Make Sure The Crib Mattress Fits Snugly Against The Rails, So The Baby Cant Get Wedged Between Them. You Also Want To Be Sure The Crib Sheet Fits Snug And Tight, Nothing Loose Or Bunched Up. Until The Baby Is At Least A Year Old, You Dont Want To Use Sheets Or Blankets. A Comforter Or Quilt Should Be For Decoration Only In That First Year. Make Sure The Babys Sleepwear Is Clean And Soft And Appropriate For Her Age And For The Weather. You Dont Want Them Too Warm Or Too Light, As Babies Cant Regulate Their Own Body Temperatures At First. The Only Crib Accessory That You Want Inside The Crib When The Babys Sleeping Is Perhaps A Small, Foam Wedge That You Can Use To Keep The Baby From Rolling On Her Stomach. Sleeping On Her Back Or On Her Side Is The Position Many Experts Recommend At First.The Sheets Should Always Be Fresh And Clean; Use Unscented Detergent In Case Your Babys Sensitive To Fragrances. Keep The Room Dust-free And The Space Underneath The Crib Clutter-free, So It Wont Accumulate Dust. If Your Babys Sensitive To Dust, You Dont Want To Trigger A Bout Of Sneezing And A Runny Nose At Bedtime Or Naptime. Make The Room And Bed Sheeting Colors Soft And Restful. Too Much Color And Contrast Will Stimulate The Babys Vision And Keep Her Alert, Just When You Want Her To Wind Down For Bedtime Or A Nap. The Babys Room And Crib Should Be Soft And Inviting Places To Be. She Has Busy Days Theres So Much To Learn And Do! The Crib Needs To Be A Place Thats Calm And Restful For Her.
