Baby Furniture For the Other Rooms in Your Home

Once you have planned and designed your nursery, take some time to plan ahead and prepare the other rooms in your home for baby. Naturally, as soon as your baby starts to crawl, you will need to install security gates and "childproof" your home. Let's take a look at some other rooms in which baby furniture will be needed.

The Bathroom

The below are some handy baby accessories to keep in the bathroom at all times:

- Towels and washcloths 
- Separate hamper for baby clothes - separating baby things from adult things will save you sorting time on laundry day 
- Baby bathtub - it creates a safe and comfortable bathing environment for your infant, while giving you greater control

The Kitchen

At around 6 months old, when your baby starts eating solid foods, a high chair will be needed. When choosing a high chair, keep the following in mind:

- It should have a wide base for stability 
- It should not be easy to tip over 
- If it has wheels, you should be able to lock them; this allows you to keep the high chair stable and in one place when you're feeding your child 
- Belts and straps should be strong and washable 
- All mechanisms should be easy for you to use, including the high chair tray

Also, bibs are an important accessory - keep them on hand in a variety of fun colours.

The Living Room/Family Room

A play yard, also referred to as a playpen, is a versatile item to have. Most types of play yards are portable and can be conveniently moved from room to room. A play yard gives your child the freedom to move around in a safe environment. Many kinds of play yards are designed to be multifunctional - your baby can play, sleep and be changed in all in one convenient place. A bouncer is a low-profile seat or rocker that is a great place for your baby sleep or to relax and have fun at the same time. Depending on the brand or the manufacturer, a bouncer can include a select number of small toys to keep your baby occupied and amused.

By creating a "baby-friendly" home, complete with essential baby items, excluding non baby crib items such as changing tables in other much-used rooms, you will add convenience in your life and more comfort for your baby! Source : ezinearticles
