Nursery furniture essentials: A checklist for new parents

As a new parent, setting up a nursery can be exciting and overwhelming. There are many things to consider and choose from, and it can take time to know where to start. A helpful first step is creating a checklist of the essential nursery furniture pieces you need.

Here are some items to consider including on your nursery furniture essentials checklist:

1. Crib: A crib is the centrepiece of the nursery and provides a safe and comfortable place for your baby to sleep. Choose a high-quality, convertible model that can grow with your child.
2. Changing table: A changing table provides a convenient place to change your baby's diaper and get them dressed. Look for a model with storage space for diapers, wipes, and other essentials.
3. Dresser: A dresser is a must-have for storing your baby's clothes and linens. Choose one with plenty of drawers to provide ample storage space.
4. Glider or rocking chair: A comfortable chair is necessary for feeding and rocking your baby to sleep. Look for a chair with a smooth gliding or rocking motion and good back support.
5. Bookshelf: A bookshelf is an excellent addition to the nursery for storing books, toys, and other items. Look for a sturdy model that can withstand the wear and tear of everyday use.
6. Baby monitor:  Watching your baby from another room gives you peace of mind and getting some rest.
7. Nightlight: A nightlight can provide a soft, comforting glow in the nursery and make it easier to see when you need to get up at night.

Creating a checklist of nursery furniture essentials can help make setting up the nursery less overwhelming and ensure you have everything you need for your new arrival.
