The document outlines essential items for creating a nursery, emphasizing the importance of a safe crib, waterproof mattress protector, a comfortable nursing chair with a pillow, and storage for baby products. It suggests that while many items may seem necessary, only a few are truly essential for a baby's well-being. These essentials aim to simplify the experience of caring for a newborn in any part of the home.

When you're putting together a nursery, it's possible to get frustrated. You'll be ooh-
ing and aah-ing over a slew of products in baby boutiques, all of which seem vital to
your child's future joy and well-being, including the pink couch made from 100
percent organic cotton by a foreign artisan.
Babies, on the other hand, are easy creatures. Just a few items are truly essential,
while the rest is merely pleasant to have. So focus your efforts on the essentials
mentioned below. They're everything you'll need to transform any part of your home
into a baby-friendly place, whether it's a corner in your master bedroom or any other
room.

2. Before anything else, the crib must be safe. This should go without saying, but a
newborn will spend the majority of his or her time in a crib. According to Baby
Center, newborns will sleep 16-17 hours a day (67 percent of the time), so having a
good crib is important.
The visibility of a crib is something to consider before buying one. We kept a baby
camera with us at all times, but we discovered that it's difficult to keep the camera in
a position where the baby is almost always visible. Upwards of half of the cribs on
the market today have shut sides. Make sure it's barred and clear from all four sides
so you wouldn't have to rush to the nursery every five minutes to check on your infant.

A waterproof mattress cover is needed not only for the crib, but also for your bed if
your baby spends any time there. For babies, there are countless spit-ups and blow-
outs that are unavoidable. Cover your mattress with a waterproof cover to save time
in the middle of the night by just having to adjust the mattress cover instead of having
to change and wash the mattress itself.

A nursing seat is any chair that helps you to comfortably sit and nurse your infant.
You should be able to lean, rock, swivel, and put your feet up in this chair. Make
sure your seat is as comfortable as possible because a baby can feed every hour, if
not more.
A nursing pillow is also necessary to help the baby feel comfortable. In order to
prevent indigestion and gas, your baby's head should be propped up when
breastfeeding.
This cushion can be used for breastfeeding as well as tummy time exercises. When
the time comes, the Boppy can also be used as a seat rest to help the babies sit up.

quite frankly, where else would it be? A good storage nest is sturdy and allows you
to place all your kids’ toys, essentials and more.
With these tips, you’ll have all the nursery new mom essentials you need for a
happy and bubbly baby!
