After hard repetitious works of wailing, and getting fulfilments; before you knew it, the little one roars again “break, time to hit the sack!” Joining you folks out there as yours truly, Sam Yoong arms you with head knowledge in pursuit for answer and to get prepared for desperate measures!
The era of fast-evolving fashions and décors
Times have changed for many have been ‘kiasu’ when it comes to fashion and decors – men and women alike. This includes teens, pregnant mums and even babies! Well, before the babies innocently take the blame, probably one could re-steer the pointing fingers to their parents (while me cackling away with delight). Just kidding there; okay, down to serious business here…
What do babies really need?

What do babies really need?
Truthfully, all babies really need is merely a nice place to finally call it a day. Cot or cradle, with mattress coupled with soothing bed sheets, and blankets would do the trick.
What do babies really want?
What do babies really want?
There are parents who would go all out in fulfilling their child’s needs. Amongst the things secured by these adventurous ones are like chairs and ottomans – sized just for the little ones! Optionally, the list includes changing table (for changing diapers in case you’re wondering), bassinet, chest of drawers, cabinets, bedside chest, glider rocker, musical mobile, and many more. The musical mobile as mentioned, stimulates babies’ visual and hearing.

A rule of thumbUltimately safety and comfort come first in fulfilling your baby’s needs.
Safety for the babe in his nurseryAmongst the aspects on watch-list are:
- Ensure that the posts of your child’s crib do not exceed certain distances apart – to avoid baby slipping through it
- Keep an eye for items that could trap a child’s head or limbs
- To make sure that paints on furniture aren’t lead-based as babies tend to chew anything that seems tempting to them
- Securing the pads (that is the base to place the baby) on the changing table with straps to keep baby from falling off
- To avoid curtains that reach to the floor, as they run risk for the baby when he has learned to crawl. The baby might pull the curtains on top of him and suffocate in the process.
- To avoid blinds which have long pull cords, for the cords might get entangled around the child’s neck.
- Employ curtains that end at windowsill (should you decide to have curtains anyhow).
- To have the walls of the nursery painted ahead in time (for those who wish to have the nursery’s walls repainted), in allocating time for the fumes to fade away.
- To get rid of things which have small items or parts attached. The baby could choke himself on such materials.
Comfort for the babe in his nurseryAfter complete installation, you could look into the lighting of your child’s room. In specific, to survey the room at different times of the day; in the morning, afternoon, evening, and at night.
Notice on whether the sunshine is reaching right into the nursery? You would not want that as it may disrupt your child’s sleep.
Same goes when the night comes; observe whether the nursery is brightly lit by neighbouring or street lights?
In taking extreme measure, you might even want to reconsider a different room altogether for your child’s nursery should there be too much noise from surrounding areas.
Attempt to perceive the nursery from a child’s point of view. That way, comfort is at least in hand for your brand new arrival when the time comes.
Comfort for you and your spouseYou might want to relax in the nursery in events where you and your spouse have to stay put with your baby for the entire night. Amongst items that you could eye on are like a soothing recliner, rocker glider, sofa and so forth.
Thematic roomsThere are various decors that are centred on themes. From wallpapers, to the carpets, and whatnots; everything’s there for you to match to your heart’s content.
The colours of the interior are to a certain extent, dictated by the gender of your child. To keep it on the safe side; you might want to have neutral colours instead.
It used to be that pink colours were for girls and blue colours for boys. Contemporary designs these days though, have broken the barriers and employ a mixture of colours across gender. Researches have come to show that colours aid and facilitate the development of children.
Ultimately anyhow anyway… As a parent, you have the final say when it comes to making the final decision on your child’s nursery, alongside your spouse.
You would want to look long term during planning. For some of you who might be cost-conscious, it would be good to get items that could remain usable, as your baby grows into a young child with differing interests and tastes by then. Scout around; there are many items out there which could fit in this case.
Not forgetting too; always prioritise the usefulness of the items as opposed to their external outlooks prior to purchasing. Accessories could be included after the necessities are ready in place.
Should you encounter used furniture, you might want to save the furniture for later use by your child and wait until’ he’s older as some furniture might not be safe for him for the time being.
Adios and bon voyage!We have reached the part for a wrap up. Hopefully you folks out there have gathered as much from this writing of mine. In the meantime, relax while stay focus on your planning for your child’s nursery!
