Setting Up the Nursery
An ultrasonic cool-mist humidifier is perfect for keeping baby’s mucous membranes moisturized and keeping moisture in the nursery. This is especially important when living in a dry climate or if you live in an area where heating or air conditioning is used often. This humidifier is whisper-quiet and features variable output control for customizable relief from dry air.
Modernist Convertible Crib - Winter Wood
I love this eco-friendly modern style baby crib. The solid wood frame is so delightful, soft to look at, and compatible with nursery décor of every gender. This crib grows with your baby, featuring two platform height options.
Modernist Toddler Bed Conversion Kit – Winter Wood
When purchasing the crib, I always suggest buying the Toddler Conversion Kit at the same time, in case the product gets discontinued. This way, baby’s crib can grow with your growing child.
This dresser is amazing. With child-safe, water-based finishes, and six roomy drawers, it has tons of storage and no need for an additional changing table.
Serene House Astro White Small 90mm - Glass/Light Wood Base Diffuser
I always suggest the use of a diffuser in the nursery. Essentials Oils have tremendous calming and healing effects for everyone in the family, especially baby.
Organic Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender is one of my particular favorites for adding to the calming mood in the nursery. It’s also particularly helpful for a baby that is having sleep challenges. Simply put a drop on linens near where the baby’s head rests during sleep. NOTE: Never apply directly to the baby’s skin.
The Nanit Plus easily mounts to the wall above the crib, has two-way audio, real-time sound and motion notifications, temperature monitors, and displays baby’s sleep stats each morning plus timelapse highlight reel of their sleep so that you can rewatch their entire night in seconds. My favorite thing about Nanit is that baby can be viewed away from home by parents. It’s live and can let them know how long baby has been sleeping, the room temperature, and so much more.
Hatch is a sleek model for gentle light and sound that takes up very little space.
It’s easy on and off finger touch feature makes it super user friendly. While it is Bluetooth friendly for access outside of the nursery, it is also Alexa-Enabled for hands-free help too. Change light, sounds and more without lifting a finger.
Music is so important for baby, and the Echo Dot makes it a hands-free easy instant access. This Alexa-Enabled device can also be connected to your Hatch Rest + for hands-free help.
*DISCLAIMER: Please note as a natural health practitioner I do not promote the use of electro-magnetic fields surrounding babies. With that being said, many of my mom’s ask what my favorite products are in that area. The three I have mentioned here are what I have found to be most effective, with the fewest electronic devices in the nursery. I always suggest that if purchased, they are placed as far away from baby as possible.
Avocado Green® Organic Crib Mattress
This is the highest quality crib mattress at an affordable price. This handmade, certified organic cotton, wool, and latex mattress is safe and non-toxic. It’s also practical. A dual-sided design — one for infants and one for toddlers — offers different firmness levels to support the growth of your child for years.
Avocado Green® Organic Crib Mattress Protector
This Crib Mattress Pad Protector is made with a gentle GOTS organic certified cotton ticking and an absorbent cotton fiberfill for an extra layer of coziness for baby’s back.
Coyuchi Naturepedic Organic Waterproof Crib Pad
Made with soft organic cotton flannel on top and organic cotton muslin on bottom with an ultra-thin waterproof barrier in the center, this pad provides protection for the mattress during those times when there is spit up or overflow from the diaper. It features DrySleep™ technology, which effectively blocks liquids from passing through.
In my opinion, this is one of the softest crib sheets on the market. It’s free of all the harmful elements and also stain-resistant, hypoallergenic, and temperature regulating.
Infant Halo Bassinest(TM) Luxe Plus Bedside Swivel Sleeper
For those families that want to have baby close by the bed rather than in a crib, this is a perfect option. This rotating bedside bassinet is comfortable with user-friendly features, especially in the middle of the night, and rest is of the utmost importance. The sidewall lowers allowing you to tend to baby without leaving your bed, and the entire bassinet swivels 360 degrees so that you can position baby in a way that's just right for both of you. The LUXE Series includes a floor light to help you find your footing in the dark without waking your little one.
