When designing your newborn baby’s nursery, function is just as important as aesthetics. There are a few utilitarian features that should be included in every nursery – crib, changing table, dresser, etc. – but their design and positioning are up to you. Consider tying the nursery together with a running theme.
This motif could manifest itself subtly in the form of color accents, or you might prefer to make the effect more noticeable. Don’t forget that something as simple as a baby dresser can be incorporated into your grand design scheme. If you’re going for a rugged-looking little boy’s room, a polished wooden dresser packs that manly mystique.
Research has shown that infants who are fed breast milk grow up to be stronger and healthier than formula-fed babies. Breastfeeding is a natural part of human development, but modesty and shifting cultural norms have come into play in recent years. As a result, some women are understandably reluctant about breastfeeding their babies in public places.
Nursing covers lend a modicum of privacy to what really is a private act. They also provide babies with protection from the sun and wind, which allows for uninterrupted feeding. The best nursing covers are derived from materials that are especially soft to the touch – namely eco-friendly bamboo.
