Creating the Perfect Nursery: Essentials (And Extras) for New Moms

Welcoming a new baby is an exciting and overwhelming time, but creating a cozy, functional nursery can make those early days a little smoother. With so many baby products out there, it can be hard to know what’s truly essential. We’ve rounded up our team’s favorite must-haves–let’s dive in! 

1. Soft and Supportive Crib Mattress

A good night’s sleep starts with the right foundation. Choose a high-quality crib mattress that’s both firm and breathable to ensure your little one sleeps both safely and soundly. Look for one with a washable cover to make cleanup easier.

2. Stretchy Crib Sheets

Not all crib sheets are created equal! Saranoni’s minky stretch luxe crib sheets are ultra-soft, breathable, and perfectly snug, making them a must-have for a cozy and safe sleeping environment. Plus, they come in adorable prints that add charm to any nursery. 

3. Blackout Curtains

Help your baby establish a good sleep routine with blackout curtains. These will keep the nursery dark during naps and early bedtimes, making it easier for little ones to sleep longer and more soundly. Which means, in turn–that you’ll be getting better sleep yourself! 

4. Comfortable Rocking Chair

Late-night feedings and early morning snuggles call for a cozy place to sit. A well-padded rocking chair or glider can make those moments even sweeter. Add a plush throw blanket to keep both mom and baby warm during nighttime cuddles.

5. Stuffed Animals

A nursery isn’t complete without a few little companions. Saranoni’s luxuriously soft stuffed animals are the perfect first friend for your little one. Designed to be snuggly and timeless, these plush companions bring warmth and comfort to any nursery setup.

6. Storage Solutions

Keeping things organized is key to maintaining a peaceful space. Baskets, shelves, and drawer organizers will help keep diapers, clothes, and blankets easily accessible while keeping clutter and the impending stress it brings–out of your way! 

7. Animal Rockers

Once your little one starts exploring, having a few engaging pieces in the nursery is a great way to encourage play and development. Saranoni’s animal rockers are sturdy, stylish, and perfect for growing toddlers to enjoy. They add a touch of whimsy to any nursery while being a fun and functional addition.

8. White Noise Machine

Babies love soothing sounds, and a white noise machine can help create a calming environment for restful sleep. Whether it’s gentle rainfall or soft lullabies, a little background noise can work wonders for fussy sleepers.

Wrapping it UP!

Creating the perfect nursery is all about balancing comfort, functionality, and a touch of charm. With these essentials—including Saranoni’s stretchy crib sheets, stuffed animals, and animal rockers—you’ll have a beautifully designed space that makes both baby and mom feel right at home.
