Frequently Asked Questions

What furniture do you need in a baby's room?

Creating a functional and comfortable nursery involves several furniture pieces. The core items needed for a baby's room typically include:

• Crib, Mattress, and Sheets: A safe and sturdy crib is paramount for the baby's sleep. This requires a firm crib mattress and fitted crib sheets for comfort and hygiene.
  
• Dresser: Essential for storing baby clothes, diapers, and other necessities. Many parents opt to use the top of the dresser as a changing station by adding a changing pad.
  
• Changing Table: (Optional, if using a dresser top for changes) A dedicated piece of furniture designed specifically for diaper changes, often with built-in storage.
  
• Rocking Chair or Glider: Provides a comfortable and soothing spot for feeding, comforting, reading, and bonding with the baby.
• Clothing Storage: A closet with hanging space or additional storage solutions to organize baby clothes.  
• Nightstand: A convenient surface to keep items you use often, like lamps, bottles, burp cloths, or a monitor, within easy reach during nighttime feedings or checks.  

Do I really need a baby dresser?

Yes, a baby dresser is considered a must-have furniture item for any nursery. It provides storage space for baby clothes, diapers, toys, and other necessities, and it can also effectively double as a convenient diaper changing station.

When to start buying furniture for baby?

The best time to begin shopping for nursery furniture for most people is during the second trimester of pregnancy, specifically between weeks 20 and 28. This period is recommended because the risk of early pregnancy complications is lower, and parents have often already discovered the baby's gender, which allows for more informed decor and furniture choices.

At what age does a baby need a room?

There is no definitive age when a baby needs their own room, but many experts suggest transitioning your baby into their own room around 6 to 7 months old.

The big reason for this recommendation is that after 7 months, babies become significantly more aware of their surroundings and may find it harder to adjust to a new environment. Moving them before this stage can help facilitate a smoother transition and establish independent sleep habits.
