1.DIAPERING STATION
IMAGES VIA CART, WALL STORAGE, CADDY
You will be changing a LOT of diapers once the baby is born. So set up a diaper changing station stocked with all the diapering essentials. Having everything you need for diaper changes close by will make diaper changes run smoothly.
2.PORTABLE PUMPING STATION
Though breastfeeding is great for baby and good for bonding, it is time consuming. And, pumping can also be quite time consuming and tiring. Prioritize setting up a portable pumping station with everything you need for pumping to make it less of a chore.
3.DIVIDERS FOR HANGING CLOTHES
Organizing your baby's closet will save you time and also create more space. Baby clothes may be tiny but when you get a lot of baby clothes in varying sizes, they can add up. Use baby clothes dividers to sort baby's clothes by size so you can better manage all the cute little outfits.
4.OVER THE DOOR ORGANIZERS
Maximize every inch of available space in your nursery for storage. We love the flexibility of over the door organizers. Hang one over the door and use it to store everything from shoes to baby accessories and toiletries.
5.BASKETS FOR STORAGE
We can't emphasis enough, how baskets are going to be your best kept secret to a clean and tidy nursery. Place baskets near your nursery chair for blankets and burp clothes, baskets near baby's play mat for storing toys and anywhere else you can think of.
6.DRAWERS DIVIDERS
Since baby's clothes are so tiny, use compartments inside the drawer to store and organize baby's clothes. You have an easier time looking for a particular outfit and keeping the drawer tidy!
7.A SIDE TABLE
Invest in a side table for the nursery and place it beside your nursery chair. If you are a breastfeeding mom, have a few bottles of water on it along with a note pad. You'll need it!
8.A pack 'N play in the living room
Keep a pack n'play in the living for baby to nap and also for diaper changes. If the nursery is upstairs, this will save you from constantly going up and down the stairs with the baby. So invest in a pack n' play with a changing station.
9.A REMOTE CONTROL ORGANIZER for THE NURSERY CHAIR
Get an over the arm remote holder caddy for the nursery chair to store baby's pacifiers, burp clothes, etc.
10.TIERED BASKET FOR TOILETRIES
We love the flexibility of storing baby's toiletries on a tiered basket. Use it stash wash clothes, burp clothes, lotions. It will save you time when getting ready for baby's bath time.
11.SET UP A COMMAND CENTER AND an ORGANIZATION SYSTEM
Spend some time before baby is born to set up a command center and an organizational system for the house. Even with a baby, you'll still have to run the household. Having a system for organizing papers and planning your schedules/ chores will help you be more efficient.
12.A HAMPER NEAR THE DIAPERING STATION
Don't forget to get a hamper for baby's dirty clothes and place one near the diapering station to put away soiled clothes easily.
13.USE CLOTHESPINS
Use inexpensive clothespins to keep cute two piece outfits together by clipping the pants or skirts to the bottom part of the hanger.
14.GET DOOR LATCH COVERS
Babies get startled quite easily by loud noises. The last thing you want is to finally rock the baby to sleep and have them wake up suddenly because of the sound of a closing door. Use these awesome door latch covers to dampen the sound.
15. SPECIAL PLACE FOR BABY'S ACCESSORIES
If you are like us, we love our accessories. And, you are sure to buy lots and lots of bows and headbands for your little girl. You could always tuck them in a drawer for storage, but we love to display those beauties. Find a special place to store baby's accessories for convenience.
16. Hang a mobile
It might not always go with your nursery design style, but do consider hanging a mobile for the baby. A mobile will keep the baby engaged while in the crib, providing visual and sound stimulation for the little one. Remember it is essentially a toy for baby, so look for one with bold colors, movements an sounds.
17. PLACE A STORAGE BIN IN THE CLOSET
Babies outgrow their cute little outfits so quickly. Always, keep a storage bin in the nursery closet and put clothes baby can't wear in it. You could always put it away for future kids or donate.
18. LEAVE A FEW TANKS NEAR THE NURSERY CHAIR
Moms, you are going to have leaky breasts every now and then or get baby's spit-up on your t-shirt. Keep a few tanks within easy reach of the nursing chair, should you need a quick change.
19. GET A NURSING NIGHT LIGHT
At least for the first few months, you'll be up a LOT at night to feed the baby. Use a nursing night light to navigate the dark without having to turn the overhead lights, waking everybody else in the house. Just clip the nursing light to your t-shirt or bra and you'll have just enough light to navigate and see the baby while nursing.
20. GET 2 NURSING PILLOWS
If you are downstairs with the little one, do you want to run all the way upstairs to breastfeed or to grab your nursing pillow? Keeping a nursing pillow downstairs will save you time and energy.
With these Nursery Organization Hacks you'll be better prepared for your baby's arrival!
