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!!!!!!

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 lo...

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).

Newborn Essentials – The "ALL"important baby checklist

Having a baby is both a daunting and exciting time.  Changes to your body can be scary and some find the pressures of pregnancy hard to cope with, while others are lucky enough to sail through having that ‘glowing’ look throughout.  Here I was at 33 weeks pregnant with my third child, finding pregnancy harder to bare the second time around.  Juggling my toddler twin girls, business and career took a toll on me at the end of the day! With my first pregnancy I was super organised and had my baby list organised well in advance with many items bought for the nursery and my hospital bag packed!  This time I realised I have not done anything – of course I had the twin’s old nursery furniture and clothes but was rather complacent with regards to everything else thinking I will never need that much really…  But I had to do some research and created that all important newborn checklist ! Lots of lists out there seem to omit, as far as I’m conc...
