The appearance of a child in the family is not only a great joy, but also a certain expenditure, as well as a few compulsory major acquisitions in terms of furniture. Even if you do not have a separate children's room, it will be necessary to buy the minimum necessary set of furniture for the newborn, it will greatly facilitate your life and save the child from many dangers.
What furniture is needed for a newborn?
There are only two items of necessary furniture for a newborn, which you need to purchase, which means that the family budget will not suffer much from this.
Firstly, it is a comfortable bed that will ensure a healthy sleep and child safety. After all, most of the first months of life the baby spends in a state of sleep. There are three most common designs of beds for newborns: cradles, classic beds for newborns and beds and playpens. Cradle is the most ancient element of furniture for babies. Due to its swinging design, it simplifies the child's falling asleep. However, such a bed is suitable only for the first few months of life, when the child can not yet perform active motor movements. After the baby starts to turn and sit down, its being in the cradle can become dangerous, and it will be necessary to replace it with a crib.
A classic children's bed with high sides is a more versatile option. It can be used from birth until the child reaches the age of 3 years. Its high walls will not allow the baby to fall out of the crib or climb over the edge when he learns to stand or will take his first steps. Later, you can even remove one of the walls of the crib, so that the baby could climb and climb down from it.
Bed-manege - a variant of a crib with removable walls, which can be convenient during trips to guests or trips with the child to nature. These cribs are folded, that is, they do not take up much space in the trunk of the car.
The second mandatory attribute of children's furniture for a newborn boy or girl is a changing table . It can be of two types: either as a board that can be placed on a table, a chest of drawers or other convenient for changing places, or as a ready-made table with legs. You can also purchase a complete changing chest that will facilitate the storage of children's things and will allow you to get quick and convenient access to them while changing your baby.
Furniture for the room of the newborn
If you are furnishing a whole room for your baby, it will be superfluous also to purchase such a piece of furniture as a wardrobe. Perhaps, the baby will have a lot of things, and they will not all fit into the chest of drawers. Then the closet will be an excellent solution. But even if it is not needed in the first year of the child's life, this piece of furniture will still serve later, when the child has a large number of toys, clothes, which can be put in the locker.
You can also buy a small sofa or a soft large armchair. After all, in the first months and years of life, the mother is almost constantly beside the baby, and a comfortable place to relax in his room will have to come in handy. So she will be able to constantly keep the child in the field of her vision and at the same time will have the opportunity to relax a little from the cases that are performed during the day.
These are the main pieces of furniture that will be useful in the room of a newborn baby. As it grows, other parts of the environment will also be needed, such as a full-fledged crib, a table and chair, a play area, perhaps even a sports corner. But it is the items listed above that will be needed in the first time of his life.
