Cribs that Grow with Your Child

A quality crib is the most important furniture purchase expectant parents will make. To ensure you get the best value out of your crib, it is important to purchase a convertible crib.

A convertible crib, also known as a 3-in-1, will initially be your baby’s crib.

When your child begins to climb out, it is time to transition your child to the daybed configuration. With most convertible cribs, the front end of the crib is removed and the mattress is lowered to its lowest level to become a daybed. This set-up will still use the crib mattress and its usually used only for a short time as the crib mattress is small.

Once your child outgrows the crib mattress, you can purchase the conversion kit for your crib so that it will become a double bed requiring a double or full mattress. With that, your bed can be used indefinitely.

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
