These are a great place for baby when you need a few "hands-free" minutes to fold laundry or answer the door. A seat that bounces with babys own movement not only soothes, but also helps baby develop physical abilities. Because of their gepact size,Baby Bouncers are easy to move from room to roomeven into the bathroom so Mom can take a shower knowing baby is secure and entertained in theBouncer! Nursery LightingLighting for the nursery requires careful thought and planning. A dimmer for the main ceiling light is essential. If lamps are within toddler height, choose one designed for the nursery which has a hidden bulb and stay-cool exterior.A nightlight or lamp is reassuring to your baby and useful for you when you go in at night. You can buy nightlight lamps or a nightlight that plugs into an electric socket to provide a small glow. Or you could simply use a lamp with a low watt bulb.Crib Mattresses, Changing Table Pads and Crib Mattress Encasements Crib Mattresses like adult mattresses vary in price. Some high priced mattresses offer all natural qualities others coil and others are basic foam with a vinyl covering. It really is your preference but we do suggest firmcrib mattresses for babies.One thing you can do to help prevent your baby from having allergies is to use dust mite barrier bedding. Usually this is only needed with natural mattresses as most other mattresses have a vinyl cover which will act as a barrierAn crib mattress encasement provides a barrier between your baby and the places dust mites live. A crib mattress encasement easily slips over your baby'scrib mattress and under your stylish crib sheet to provide the ultimate in allergy relief and prevention.Baby Monitors Every new mom will tell you tales of how they regularly rush to check on their new baby for no good reason - some inner instinct makes them anxious and forces them to stop what they are doing and go check their baby is ok. Baby Monitors help take the anxiety out of this natural urge and can give parents peace of mind whatever they are doing and wherever they are around the house. The most basicbaby monitors listen and transmit any sounds the baby makes, more sophisticated ones allow you to mute the sound but to see the level of noise geing from the baby via a visual lights display. The most cutting edge ones also allow you to view your baby via video links, even in a darkened room. Just whichbaby monitor you choose will depend on just how much you want to know about your baby. Very anxious moms, or those with very premature or at risk babies, will certainly findbaby monitors which detect breathing and movement very reassuring. Most operate on two channels so you switch between channels to minimize interference. Baby Monitors gee in 49 MHz,900 MHz and 2.4MHz technology. 49 MHz technology operates on a less-used channel. This means youre less likely to run into interference from home phones and other products that employ 900 MHz technology. 900 MHz and more recently 2.4 MHz technology offers more powerful signals, with excellent clarity and up to three times the range of mostbaby monitors .Baby Safety Gates and Baby Guards Baby safety gates and baby guards can be invaluable once your baby begees mobile. Position them at the top or bottom of a staircase or across a door opening and you can limit your child's exploration to a safe area. Styles vary and include those that secure to the wall at just one side and swing to open, those which are secured on both sides with an integral walk through gate section and those which work as barriers and have to be removed when you want to walk through. All have their uses in certain situations and depending how regularly you are going to be going through the barrier different styles offer different benefits. Most important for those to be in regular use is the ease of opening and securing, and the stability of the fixings. Look for a very robust fit because toddlers will often push at the barrier or try to climb over it. A pressure fit style is generally the quickest and easiest to install. Be aware that those with a floor level cross bar can present a tripping hazard which you need to be particularly careful. We do not regemend these at the top of stairs.Also great as apet or dog gate to keep puppy and baby apart when you can not be with them!Shameless Plug - AtJackrabbit baby we strive to offer you as many options as possible to furnish your babies nursery in any style or on any budget.
