How to choose the right furniture for your nursery
Choosing furniture and accessories for your baby’s nursery can feel overwhelming at times with so much choice out there. As a start, choose safety and quality from trusted brands. Then decide on the look that reflects your personal style and offers comfort and provides joy. You and bub will be spending many hours in your nursery! Many parents choose clean lines and timeless designs which don’t date and can be used from one baby to your next. This is what makes Babyrest nursery furniture a popular choice for families across Australia. Besides Babyrest furniture and nursery accessories being trusted for their safety and quality, their Scandi design and clean lines makes this range elegant and timeless.
Choose the right cot for your baby
The first consideration in choosing the right cot for your baby is safety. Ensure your cot complies with current Australian and New Zealand safety standards. For second-hand cots, always check the model adheres to all necessary current child safety requirements in Australia/New Zealand. For a new cot, check that the Australian/New Zealand Safety code appears on the product as well as packaging.
Other things to consider when choosing the right cot for your baby includes:
- For the first few months, some parents choose a co-sleeper bassinet as a safe dedicated sleeping place for bub. A co-sleeper bassinet also makes night access, soothing and feeding easier for mum and bub.
- When deciding on the right baby cot, besides your own research, ask friends for their recommendations.
- Because most baby cots are only used for a year or two, convertible cots are a popular choice. The Babyrest Tommi Cot easily converts from a baby cot with 2 mattress heights, to a toddler bed with the addition of the Babyrest Junior Bed Rail
Selecting the best mattress for your newborn’s cot
When buying a baby cot, cot mattresses are rarely included. This means you need to factor in the cost of a new cot mattress. For child safety reasons, even if you’re using a pre-loved baby cot or bassinet, avoid using a second-hand bassinet mattress or cot mattress—there’s a researched link between mould build-up in used child mattresses and SIDS. When buying your new baby bassinet or cot mattress, buy quality and comfort from a trusted brand. Also be sure to measure your cot against the mattress you’re buying to be sure it fits snugly with no gaps—which is also a safety issue for your little one. Many cot mattress protectors and cot accessories are a standard size and can fit other brand cots. For example, Babyrest’s cot mattress protector can fit some Boori mattresses. But be sure to check measurements in advance of buying cross-brand products.
Shop Babyrest mattress protectors at Metro Baby
Metro Baby offers a selection of Babyrest mattress protectors. Parents use a mattress protector on their little one’s cot mattress for a number of reasons. A mattress protector adds another layer of comfort to your bub’s mattress. In addition, because a mattress can be hard to clean, a waterproof mattress protector is an easy and inexpensive way to protect your bassinet, cradle or cot mattress from mishaps and spills. Our range of Babyrest waterproof mattress protectors is available in varying sizes for your baby’s changing needs and includes cradle, bassinet and cot mattress protectors.
Utilise as much space as you can with a chest of drawers
When bub arrives, baby-related items will take over. Which is a beautiful and good thing! This means that smart functional storage solutions that look good will make life easier. A chest of drawers in bub’s nursery means things are kept safely stored, organised and in reach. Babyrest’s Tommi Chest is not only a functional set of storage drawers but also looks beautiful. The Tommi Chest is also environmentally-friendly and certified non-toxic and safe for children.
Create a safe sleeping environment for your baby
To keep your baby safe they need a safe sleeping environment which means a dedicated space to sleep. Some parents opt for a co-sleeper bassinet in the parent’s bedroom for the first few months of bub’s life. A co-sleeper bassinet means bub is in their own sleeping environment but in arm’s length of mum for soothing and feeding through the night. This also means mum gets a better night’s rest! Some parents may choose a cradle or Moses Basket as a dedicated sleeping environment for bubs first couple of months. Or some babies go straight into their cot in their nursery. Whatever your parenting preference, for your baby’s safety, they need a safe and dedicated sleeping environment.
