Luxury Rocking Chairs

Luxury Rocking Chairs can make all the difference as a furniture in a Nursery. It can get your baby to sleep through the night from experience. My twin girls are 9months now and still wake up at least 2-3 times a night to feed (an issue I have been battling with from their birth). I recently researched and found that I could easily make them sleep through the night by rocking them to bed each time they wake.

Having luxury rocking chairs in my nursery has certainly helped with the pain of having to get up in the night!  According to some experts they should no longer need a feed during the night and I have begun to use this as a source of comfort to get back to sleep.



Also remember that once the struggle of waking up at night is over, a luxury rocking chair makes a lovely place to read your little one a story!

So here are some tips I am currently trying out aside my rocking chair!

1) bedtime routine - bath, massage, story, milk - making this no longer than about 45 minutes and in a calm environment.  - Easier said than done with twin girls to get to bed at the same time - routine yes, calming no, together no! hahahaha

2) sleep late (post 8.30pm) try to bring the time forward - they may sleep better! - I am certainly happy to try this one although not consistent!

3) self soothe - be consistent with the bedtime routine (if you can) and put your baby in her cot while she is still awake. Say goodnight and leave the room. In my case, quiet impossible because my twin girls have a mind of their own...one might go with the flow while the other decides to play till morning :(   - I guess anyone would fall asleep easily if they are being fed in luxury rocking chairs lulled by the soft rocking motion and gentle tones of a lullaby! #wink

4) Controlled Crying - I have been advised severally to try this but I cant stand their cry so its a no no for me. Never will, never can! Mums should be more realistic, Nigerian babies are not made for this, lol

So I have been on this for a week now- I still wake up at night but the good thing is I feed them only once -  I'll be a new woman if I sleep through the night:-) CANT WAIT!!!!!!

Twin Nursery Ideas!!!!!

Thinking about nursery themes for twins? Preparing your nursery for not one, but TWO newborn babies can prove to be an overwhelming task given the number of options you can find in baby furniture, crib bedding, and wall décor on the market today. One of the best ways to start on the design of your twin's room is to research dependable baby furniture and accessory brands you know before making any purchases (try @custardandmustardcraft #wink). Next, choose a furniture collection that uses the nursery space in the best way possible, paying close attention to windows and storage closets (we can help you with that). Once the main baby furniture is put in place, it's time to move on to the decorative aspect of your twins' nursery and incorporate your themed décor ideas! I loved looking through these gorgeous nurseries, decorated and arranged for two tiny occupants. A craft inspiration for custard&mustard craft (interior décor nursery design coming soon). Whether ...

The Transition from Crib to Toddler Bed

This is my current situation as my girls are only 12months and are already attempting to make a jailbreak. This is so scary and I know its also scary for new mums and in order to avoid any domestic accident we tend to rush to switch up the beds. In my opinion, don't rush right out and buy a new bed the day your toddler first climbs out of the crib. He or she may not be ready to move to a new bed, and it may not be safe for him or her to be up and about during the night when everyone else is asleep. Buy yourself some time by lowering the crib mattress as far as possible, so the side rails are relatively higher and more difficult to climb over or buy a convertible crib that turns into a toddler bed with the removal of the front panel, this can make the change seem less drastic to a toddler. This is what we offer at Custard and Mustard Craft, making easy to transition for your toddler. Another reason parents make the switch to a toddler bed is the impending arriv...

choosing nursery furniture

Having a baby is such an exciting time, but it is a long 9 months waiting for your little bundle of joy to arrive.  In that time however there is lots to prepare - baby names, baby groups, work and most importantly the nursery !  Looking for your dream nursery suddenly makes everything seem a lot more real.  I waited until the last possible minute before buying cot beds and changer for my twin girls (I wish I'd launched this blog/website before!), because there are lots of choices out there so a bit of preparation will hopefully make the decisions a bit easier! Firstly, there is the decision as to whether or not to buy a moses basket.  I did not buy one firstly because I felt a cot bed and a moses basket in the same space was going to cloak the nursery and would not have fitted well and I felt that my new born babies would outgrow it fast! Don't get me wrong, a moses basket is great as it is portable and can be used in your own bedroom during the...
