Baby Nursery Setup Tips
For most parents it can be an enjoyable experience to set up a baby nursery. A baby nursery will provide a safe corner for your baby to romp and play. For this reason, it is important that you put in adequate thought and care into setting up your baby’s nursery.
Here are some things you will require to furnish a baby nursery:
- To start with, the most essential thing your baby’s nursery will need is a crib. Ensure that the crib you invest in subscribes to safety standards. Ensure that the bars are not too wide apart—2 and 3/8 inches. The rails should be high enough to prevent your baby from crawling out. Also, buy a mattress and linen for the crib.
- A changing table will be another essential item for your baby nursery. Again, safety should be paramount—safety belts and a guardrail will prevent your baby from falling off. The changing table should always store clean diapers, powder, baby creams, and other accessories you require to change your baby’s diapers. Having the garbage can (or diaper genie) for dirty diapers and a laundry hamper nearby will be convenient for you.
- Have a soft night-lamp in your baby nursery. Lamps with adjustable brightness are best as they allow you to brighten the light if required.
- A mobile hung over the crib will not only keep your child engrossed, but also help to develop your baby’s senses.
- You can decorate the walls of your baby nursery with bright pictures, toys, or stuffed animals.
- A glider chair will be an added asset to your baby’s nursery. It can be used to rock the baby to sleep at night and is safer than a rocking chair.
- You can even buy special closets and baby coat hangars in the baby nursery to hang some of your child’s clothes.

Help answer the question about baby nursery
What do I need to buy when setting up the baby nursery?I am only 7 weeks along but hubby and I decided to check out some baby stores this weekend just to know how much stuff costs (and budget for it in the future). I'm more confused now than I was before! There are all these different items I wasn't even aware we needed, and it turns out everything is super expensive!
I know the baby industry tries to sell you everything under the sun, so what exactly will I need in setting up the nursery before the baby is born?
Thanks!

Actually keeping the temperature that high in the nursery and putting a blanket on your baby may not be such a good idea. Baby's like us maintain homeostasis very well. A good way to tell if the temperature is right in the room is by asking yourself, Am I comfortable. Dress your baby in the same amount of clothes you would to be comfortable. This should be the same for the room temperature, unless you plan on keeping the baby naked. As a matter of fact, keeping your baby's room temp that high could actually cause "prickly heat" which are small bumps where your baby's body is trying to sweat. I would keep the room temp around 72-76 and dress him/her like you would dress yourself to stay comfortable at night. After all they do have the same body temperature as you do, right?
This may not be true if you have a preemie. Consult your physician if you feel uncomfortable about any situation.
I would go with Humphreys Corner
I reckon it is perfect for boys or girls 
Congrats
Unfortunately I don't recall the titles but I found some great ideas in the books at the Home Depot and Lowes stores. I kinda cheat by browsing the books while shopping and haven't purchased one because they are all around $25 each when I really only need 2 pages! But beleive me, they have some georgeous, easy to do ideas.
A crib, a changing table, a bassinet (if you plan on keeping the baby in your room at the beginning), nursery decorations (crib mattress, curtains, crib sheet, crib skirt, etc.), blankets, towels, onesies, dresser to keep all the clothes, maybe a playpen.
Good luck.
Fabric books are the most ideal for babys this age as they're soft and harder to rip/break. If you're any good at stitching, it might be a good idea to buy some felt and have a go with that. You could then write the rhymes on the pages and maybe embroider/applique the titles or some shapes/pictures. If you do decide to do this, though, you'll hae to make sure everything is stitched securely enough and that there are no loose parts or long pieces of thread.
If you're not keen on that idea, your idea sounds great. try to use card or something a bit thicker than normal paper because once the baby gets older, he/she will then be able to try and turn the pages. The thinner the pages are, the harder this would be. Also, make sure that the corners of the pages are rounded off so that they aren't sharp and again, make sure that everything is very securely attatched.
Good luck with you little project – it's a really clever and original idea to make a book, I hope it works well
