Setting Up a Nursery

Setting up a nursery doesn’t have to be a stressful job. It simply needs to be a cozy, functional room that you can bring your baby home to. Find a quiet, comfortable and calm space in your home and stock it with nursery essentials you may need. Choose a crib with a flat mattress and stock your changing table up with diapers and baby products.

Preparing for Nursing Needs

To get ready for breastfeeding, you’ll want to ensure both you and baby are comfortable. Find a chair you can relax into, have pillows nearby for support, and ensure your supplies are nearby. You’ll want to have burp cloths, a water bottle and nursing pads at the ready.
