Getting Ready for Baby: Nursery Bedding and Bath Checklist
One of the biggest challenges when preparing for a newborn is narrowing down what you need—and what you don’t. While the necessity of some products comes down to personal preference, certain items are non-negotiable. Explore our guide to getting ready for baby and find nursery and bath checklists that cover all the basics.
Nursery Essentials
Depending on the layout of your home, your nursery will be the space where baby sleeps, as well as where they have their diapers changed, where they hear bedtime stories, and even where they play. Start with furniture—a crib, dresser, changing table, comfortable rocking chair or glider, and bookcase or other practical storage. Then, add an area rug for comfort on hardwood floors or to soften carpeted rooms. Linens and other nursery essentials further define the style of your space; stock the nursery with these necessities for the crib, changing table, and play area.
