Whether you plan on dedicating an entire nursery to your baby or just one corner of the bedroom, you’ll surely want to personalize the place your baby will be sleeping and playing. There are many ways to accessorize baby’s crib–here are just some of the products we particularly love.
Aqua Harper Diaper Holder. Although its intended purpose is to hold diapers, the Harper is very versatile and can hang over the edge of the crib as a hamper, or be used for toy storage or for other baby essentials. It’s available in a variety of colors and as is typically the case with Pottery Barn Kids’ products, can be personalized. $29, $7 additional for monogram or name; potterybarnkids.com.
Crib skirts by Serena and Lily. Serena and Lily offers stylish patterned sheets and matching skirts that add a pop of color to baby’s crib. The company is very customer oriented too–they’ll ship free swatches for any pattern so you can see how it will look with your existing décor. $88; serenaandlily.com.
Monkey Blanket Friend. Part stuffed monkey, part blanket, this soft and cuddly toy made from organic cotton is something baby can enjoy playing with during waking hours. It can then be hung safely over the side of the crib for her to look at as she goes to sleep. $18; giggle.com.
Personalized Initials and Adjectives Typographic Wall Art. Deciding on a name for your baby can be tough work. But once you finally do, it’s fun to design custom items. Perfect to hang near baby’s crib, this colorful wall art features baby’s name, first initial, and whatever adjectives you choose to describe him that start with his initial. $65; mbeans.com.
Safe Lift Universal Crib Wedge Cushion. Doctors caution against putting anything in the crib with baby, including sleep positioners. But this wedge is doctor-approved and can slide under the mattress to safely raise your little one’s head and ease cold symptoms without risk. $17; toysrus.com.
Skip Hop Giraffe Safari Musical Crib Mobile. My little ones love this mobile and I confess, so do I. (I’ve found myself staring at the brightly colored giraffes that twirl around and drifting off to sleep as it plays Vivaldi’s “Spring.”) I particularly like how the giraffes hang from a green canopy like the top of a forest, and the music box is shaped like a cloud in the sky overhead. Plus, if you’re interested, there is a very cute and colorful matching collection that includes bedding, crib skirt, wall decals, and optional changing pad. The linen mobile and stand cover are machine washable. $45; skiphop.com.
Trend Lab Crib Wrap Convertible Crib Long Rail Cover. Once your baby starts teething, they’ll gnaw on anything. That’s where this rail cover comes into play. It prevents babies from gumming varnish and wood, while the padding and waterproof backing save the crib from damage. There are a variety of colors available, a well as several Doctor Seuss-themed patterns. $22; diapers.com.
