Nesting & Your Nursery
- Create a Comfortable and Functional Nursery
Designing your baby’s nursery is a blend of aesthetics and practicality. Choose furniture that grows with your child, ensuring longevity and value.
- CuddleCo’s Clara 3-Piece Nursery Furniture Set: This set includes a cot bed, dresser changer, and wardrobe, all in a timeless design that complements various decor styles, option for cashmere & ash or white & ash!
- Aria Rattan Crib: For those seeking a touch of natural elegance, this handcrafted crib offers both style and comfort.
Remember to position the cot away from windows and heaters, and ensure all furniture meets UK safety standards.
- Pack Your Hospital Bag Early
Aim to have your hospital bag ready by 36 weeks. Include essentials such as:
- Maternity notes and birth plan.
- Comfortable clothing and toiletries.
- Snacks and drinks for parents.
- Baby’s first outfit, nappies, and blanket.
Ensure your partner packs a bag too, including change for parking and a phone charger.
- Install the Car Seat
Before the due date, practice installing your baby’s car seat to ensure safety and confidence. Many UK retailers offer free fitting services or online tutorials to assist you.
- Attend Antenatal Classes
Antenatal classes provide valuable insights into labour, delivery, and newborn care. They also offer an opportunity to meet other expectant parents. Check with your local NHS trust or private providers for available courses.
- Prepare Meals in Advance
In the weeks leading up to your due date, batch-cook and freeze meals. This ensures you have nutritious food readily available during the early days postpartum when time and energy may be limited.
- Organise Baby Essentials
Stock up on newborn necessities:
- Nappies and wipes.
- Baby clothes in various sizes.
- Feeding equipment (bottles, steriliser, breast pump).
- Changing mat and toiletries.
CuddleCo offers a range of changing mats and storage solutions to keep your nursery organised and functional.
- Take Time for Yourself
Before your baby arrives, indulge in self-care:
- Enjoy a relaxing bath.
- Read a book.
- Spend quality time with your partner.
Cherishing these moments helps you recharge and prepare mentally for the journey ahead.
Preparing for your baby’s arrival is a blend of practical tasks and emotional readiness. By taking these steps, you set the foundation for a smoother transition into parenthood. Explore CuddleCo’s range of nursery furniture and accessories to support you on this exciting journey!
With love,
CuddleCo.
