As a result, there is a risk of the whole apartment spaceturn into a solid nursery. Stop! Here you need to exhale and figure out what things really come in handy for the baby in the first months of life, and with which you can wait or do without them. The baby grows and changes so quickly that in most cases the purchases remain in packages. Therefore, do not take everything at once. Something better to leave for gifts to relatives and friends. And about something better to forget. And for, and loved ones will not have to wrestle with, and you do not have to throw out money on useless things.

Crib

Some mothers prefer to sleep with the baby, and this, of course, has its advantages. The child feels safer next to the mother, falls asleep easier. The problem with abrupt jumping up at night for feeding disappears, space in the apartment is saved. But there are also disadvantages: the mother's sleep is more sensitive, intermittent, she gets worse sleep. There is no room for the father and for personal life. Subsequently, accustoming the child to independent sleep in his own bed can be very difficult. In general, each family makes its own choice here. If your choice is for, then it is better to look towards furniture made of wood without special varnish treatments. The material is considered the most useful and safe. When choosing, you need to consider the quality of different species. Beech is considered the most durable wood, but birch, maple and alder are not much inferior in quality. The softest is pine, so cribs made of this wood are some of the cheapest. If the bed is bought for growth, then you need to consider that soon the baby will begin to sit up, and then stand up. Therefore, the front wall and the bottom of the crib should be height-adjustable. It makes sense to immediately buy a baby mattress (pediatricians recommend a hard one), a breathable fabric oilcloth, preferably with an elastic band. You will also need a blanket and a set of bed linen. The rest of the bedding can wait.
