nursery checklist



Crib (Make sure that this conforms to current safety standards by checking for ASTM (American Society for Testing and Material) approval. It should be sturdy with no sharp corners, splinters or exposed hardware. Slats should be close enough together than you cannot fit a cola can through them. Corner posts should not be over 1/16th inches high so baby’s clothes cannot catch.) Position crib away from windows.
Mattress (The mattress should fit firmly so that baby cannot be trapped between the crib and mattress.)
2 Waterproof Mattress Pads

•4 Fitted Sheets
•Crib Bumper
(The bumper should be removed when the baby is able to get up on hands and knees. Some experts are now recommending mesh bumpers to reduce the chance of SIDS.)
•Crib Skirt

•5 Receiving Blankets
•Dresser or Chest of Drawers
•Musical Mobile
•Changing Table & Pad
(You can also convert a waist level dresser top into a changing table. Place a bath mat with slip-resistant backing on dresser top, then add a changing table pad on top. Drawers can be used for diapers, wipes, cream, etc.)
•2 Changing Pad Covers

•Diaper Pail
(Many moms prefer the Diaper Genie or the Neat diaper pail for odor control and ease of use, or the Diaper Champ uses garbage bags for a lower cost alternative to purchasing liner refills.)
•Rocking Chair or Glider Rocker plus Ottoman or Nursing Stool.

•Nursing Pillow (Boppy)
•Baby Monitor
•Toy storage
(Toy boxes, baskets and inexpensive plastic bins.)
•Small Bookshelf
•Window Treatments (Make sure that blind cords are out of reach and childproofed, as they are a strangulation hazard. Free safety tassels are available through the Window Covering Safety Council. Order by calling 1-800-506-4636.)
•Clothes Hamper

•20+ Child Size Clothes Hangers
•Wastebasket
