Description

Dr. Carole Keim talks about baby furniture in today’s episode. She summarizes the furniture needed for your baby as a place for your baby to sleep, a place to set your baby down in each room, some stuff to care for your baby’s everyday needs, stuff for travel, and some babyproofing items. But there are so many things on the market, how can you know what’s useful and what isn’t? That’s what this episode is about.

Dr. Keim talks about cribs and how 3-in-1 cribs are very useful but for the first 12 months of life, you don’t need that crib. You need a bassinet. So you can wait to buy the crib. She talks about what travel bassinets to invest in, what crib sheets work best, and even what kind of light works best in your baby’s room. For every one of your baby’s needs, Dr. Keim sorts through the furniture you need and when you actually need it, advising on what things can wait and what things aren’t even important. This guide will ensure you get the most useful things first and help you sort through all the furniture on offer.
