Babesta Beat SS16

DECOR TO ADORE Lights, rugs, artwork and a bit of wow! Once you have your anchor pieces, it’s time to give your room some personality. Lighting is essential, and a cool hanging lamp can really make a difference. Add a low pile rug in a neutral, or in a shot of color, and score some great art and photography that’s personal—maybe by a local artist or add some family photos. Make sure you have ample bedding for quick changes, at least 2 sets of fitted crib sheets and waterproof mattress protectors.

GRUB & SUDS OK, the baby’s primary activities during the day will break down pretty simply: sleep, eat and get bathed. That means you’ll need an array of bottles, burp cloths & bibs, pacifiers, teethers, swaddles and towels. There are simple modern versions of these necessities that add some style, be it design or humor. There are loads more bits and bobs you’ll need: baby-proofers and health and beauty aids (like brushes, clippers and the whole Fridababy line of assists.)
