Changing

Stuva Changing Table with 4 Drawers

Newborns go through at least six diapers a day, and this practical changing table provides a safe surface without taking up extra space in the nursery, as it serves double duty as a dresser. Pair it with the Skötsam changing pad for added comfort. The table comes in six colors, such as blue, green, and pink.

Önsklig Baskets

Remember those six daily diapers? Well, some of them can be quite messy. This set of four baskets hangs onto the side of your changing table, ready to hold wipes, creams, and even soiled diapers in a lidded container that holds disposable liners.

Nanig Diaper Stacker

Having diapers close at hand is imperative, and these sweet stackers do the job attractively. Available in green, blue or pink, these quilted stackers have a handy loop so you can hang yours on a dresser drawer, doorknob, or anywhere that’s convenient.

Pressa Hanging Dryer with 16 Clothes Clips

If you plan to hand-wash cloth diapers or just need somewhere to air dry soaked onesies, this cute octopus hanger can hold up to 16 small items without requiring much space. With color options including red, white, and black, you can use it indoors, outdoors, or fold it up for easy storage.

Poäng Rocking Chair

Chances are good that you will be up throughout the night feeding your new baby, so having a comfy place to rest is crucial. This ample chair has a rocking base to help you soothe baby back to sleep and a high back to support your head and neck during those late night feedings.

Antilop Highchair with Safety Belt

Before you know it, your baby will be eating solid foods. This highchair helps you feed baby comfortably. You can use the tray included, or set the table-height chair up to the family table to help your little one develop social and self-feeding skills.

Kladding Bib

It’s amazing how one tiny container of strained carrots can cover an entire child; you may wonder if your baby actually swallowed any food. Since this ingenious bib covers baby’s arms and torso, you might be able to make it through lunch without a wardrobe change.

Sleeping

Stuva Crib with Drawers

You want a crib that looks sweet and offers comfort. The Stuva crib gives you this, and extra storage too. When your baby is ready for a big kid bed, simply remove one side of the crib for an instant toddler bed.

Nanig 4-Piece Bed Linen Set For Crib

Including a crib duvet cover, a pillowcase, a fitted sheet, and a crib skirt, this baby bedding is classically cute. Sweet, old-fashioned toys adorn the fitted sheet, which is available in green or pink gingham.

Leka Mobile

The lovable bugs hanging from this modest mobile can help your baby self-soothe day or night. Soft-sculpture insects face your little one, stimulating eyesight and providing entertainment as well.

Smila Stjärna Wall Lamp

You need to be able to find your way around the nursery at night, but glaring light fixtures can awaken the baby more than necessary. This endearing wall light provides sufficient light for nighttime feedings and changings, but not so much that it ruins the sleepy-time ambiance. 

If you make a trip to an IKEA store or visit the brand’s website, think creatively. Many items have multiple uses and can help you prepare for all of your baby’s needs affordably.
