Decorating:
•While decorating your baby's room is personal and fun, remember that the heart of your child's room is not what is physically held within the four walls. Rather it is the relationship of the parents and child. So if your baby is born into a room of stark white walls, with boxes crammed in a corner, so be it. It won't change how you love him or her, nor will they grow up decoratively challenged.
Baby nursery decorating basics begin with choosing your nursery theme and making decisions on which baby products are suited to your needs.

•Helpful Reminders:
•Above all, choose fabrics and patterns that can be easily cleaned. You will be doing a lot of laundry, and you want crib linens that are easy to clean.
•Consider buying a "crib bib". These are pieces of fabric that stretch across the head of the crib where you place your baby's head. If baby spits up, all you have to do is change the "bib" instead of the entire sheet.
•Invest in a sturdy changing table with a strap. Once baby is moving around, you'll be glad you did.
•Place a mobile or colored pictures above the changing station to keep baby busy while changing.
•If you decide on a border, place it high enough so that baby won't be able to pull it off once he/she is standing in the crib.
•If you choose a "theme" for the room, remember you are going to have to live with it for awhile. Try and avoid things that will become outdated or babyish too soon.

•More Helpfull Reminders
•Make the room soothing for baby and he/she is likely to sleep better. Too much stimulation will do just that...stimulate.
•Consider a dimmer on the light switch for late night changes.
•Consider blackout or room darkening shades, which will also help baby to sleep when the sun is out.
•A high, long shelf is great for displaying baby's special gifts and stuffed animals, where they are out of reach of baby.
•A bookshelf painted in bright colors is great for housing books and small toys.
•It is never too early to think about childproofing...make this a priority in all your decorating/furniture choices.
