Here are some tips to guide you on your way: 1. Nursery – there is nothing more exciting than bringing your precious bundle home from hospital and tip-toeing through the door of their carefully designed room for the first time. When designing a nursery, consider the needs of both mum and bub. Less is sometimes more. The choice of cot is important. Consider if the sides easily slide down to take the load off your back when lowering and scooping baby up. Ensure the mattress is comfortable and of a good quality. Choose a breathable easy-to-remove, washable mattress cover and purchase two – one to wash and one to wear. When decorating, choose a theme – there are so many beautiful nursery sets around. You can opt for traditional ‘pink’ for a girl and ‘blue for a boy’ or a gender-neutral theme and colour-scheme. Ensure you have a comfortable chair for nursing and a good night-light. A cosy rug that is warm underfoot on cold nights is a must.
