Designing a Feathered Nest
Congratulations! You are expecting a baby. You have alerted your
relatives and friends. Now you can kick back and wait. Wrong!
You have several things to do prior to baby’s arrival, one of which is to “Feather The Nest” (design the nursery).
Tips:
- Babies cry more in yellow rooms; calming colors in greens, blues and
browns give babies and their parents a better night sleep.
- Keep the bed away from the window; drapery controls are dangerous.
- If using antique cribs make sure the distance between the spindles does
not exceed 3”.
Most
importantly, the room should stimulate your baby's senses while
providing a soothing, nurturing environment in which they can grow.
