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!!!!!!

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 night, and then dow

Practical ideas on how to make the most of a small nursery

When your nursery has limited space, keep in mind that less is more. Trying to cram in too much furniture can make the room impractical and create a claustrophobic environment. Here are some practical ideas for a small nursery. Think tall, not wide Make use of the height of the room, using tall rather than wide furniture. Slim, tall, one-door wardrobes are available, and some have shelves all the way up. For safety, secure tall furniture to the wall with a bracket or two. Since baby clothes are small, you can install another one or two hanging rails further down in the wardrobe. You can then hang up more clothes. Put shoe racks, storage boxes or a set of drawers at the bottom of the wardrobe to take advantage of the space. If you have space above the wardrobe, tall plastic drawers or baskets can be placed on top. Multifunctional furniture Multifunctional furniture can save space and money. Try changing units with drawers or shelves underneath or those with longer legs that

Quality Mattress equals happy baby

Finding the best mattress for your baby can be hard work. In fact, there are so many styles, makes and models of mattresses but one of the easiest ways to begin is to decide what size of mattress you should get for your baby and the type. It has been reported that latex mattresses tend to be springier and durable for a baby bed. I was recently asked what kind of mattress is available at custardandmustardcraft and I immediately said "the mattress best for your baby", generally assuming that the client is aware of the different types of baby mattresses. That should not have been my answer, hence the need to blog about it and provide more insight to the kind of mattress best for your baby.   It is common for parents to pay more attention to a child’s bed frame, comforters, and bed sheets than to the mattress. This is unfortunate because there is probably no item in a child’s bedroom that is more important to a baby's health than the mattress. Children sleep longer and d
