Here are Celia's Top Five Tips on how to create the perfect room for a baby:
1. COLOUR: Choose your colours wisely to promote a calm, tranquil and relaxing environment for yourselves and your baby.
2. MUSIC: Add music to your baby’s nursery. Classical music is great for relaxing and nursery rhymes are fun for playtimes.
3. TEMPERATURE: Room temperature is the key to baby’s comfort and safety, invest in a good room thermometer to monitor this.
4. MAKE IT COMFORTABLE FOR MUM & DAD: Have a rocking chair for nursing, ideally an ottoman. Remember if you are comfortable and relaxed it will help your baby to be the same way.
5. AVOID CLUTTER: Ensure your nursery contains all the essentials but avoid clutter, floor space is really important for you to lay out with and play with your baby.
