What things would be good for a nursery?

Q. Right now I plan on buying the following for my 1st baby nursery:

Crib
Changing table/dresser combo
Toy Box
Rocking chair
Toys
Hamper
Baskets for baby supplies
Wall Decorations
Curtains



What else should a nursery have besides clothes and stuff like that? What do you think are nice extras?

A. CD player for lullabies @ naptime

Conair soothing sounds machine (I'm not positive that's what it's called - http://www.sleepmachinesplus.com/ProductDetail.cfm?ProductId=56 ...) We play it on heartbeat sound all night long instead of lullabies and have a baby that slept through the night from 3 weeks old. She seemed to know the difference between music @ naps & heartbeat @ night. We couldn't live without it!!

Something for you to look at if you plan on feeding the baby in that rocking chair. A friend of mine has a little fish tank in there. The hum of the filter also soothes the baby.

Baby monitor

Really good blinds that block the light when closed (we got the cordless ones that you just push up and down. No cords to get caught up in and less little holes for the light to come through.)

Diaper Genie

Soft light to leave on near the changing table for late night changes and feedings. (A bright light will stimulate your baby too much and wake them right up!)

My Dad made our change table to put on top of an existing desk. (A change table in and of itself becomes a REALLY useless piece of furniture in no time at all.) Our change table is one that you stand at the feet of the baby rather than changing them sideways. (Think about it... if you ever change a baby on a bed or on the floor how are they usually lying?) If you can orient your change table that way do it! It's the smartest thing I did in my nursery!!

Oh and a baby of course :-)


How much do we need to monitor radiation in our home?
Q. Ever since we had our daughter, my husband is obsessed with eliminating any sources of radiation in our house. He wants to turn off our wireless router, stop using cell phones, and stop using the video baby monitor in the nursery because he has read that all of these things give out harmful amounts of radiation, especially impacting the development of children's brains.
Is there any validity to his concerns? Or is he just being an overprotective parent?

A. he,s a little overboard, and misdirected. you get much more radiation on a long distance plane flight than you do from those sources. living in high elevations is a greater risk than living downwind from a nuclear power plant. you get more radioactivity from living downwind of a coal fired power plant.


What is the purpose of the gold heart I've seen on babies chest?
Q. I've mostly seen this on House, M.D. but I've seen it on other shows too. They showed new born babies in the nursery with a gold heart on their chest. I've searched the internet and cannot find what this is. Does anyone know the purpose/function of this heart? Is it a monitor lead or something?

A. heartbeat monitor
