Money Saving Tips for Baby's Nursery

September 15, 2011 2:20:58 PM PDT

Everyone knows that setting up baby's nursery can be expensive. Before you start buying furniture, bedding and accessories, make a plan for baby's nursery and try to stick to it. You’ve got to consider how long you'll really use the nursery furniture or accessories. If you think they'll be in storage in couple of years, it may help you cut pricier items from your must-haves list. These budget nursery tips will help you find ways to save money on baby's nursery without sacrificing comfort and style.


Saving Money on Cribs & Mattresses

A stunning crib can be a focal point for a nursery, so it's tempting to buy the first expensive one you fall in love with, right? The crib can be a great place to start saving money, too. There are plenty of budget-friendly options for new, attractive cribs. As long as the crib is sturdy and safe, your baby will sleep just fine in it. An inexpensive new crib is a better choice than a used crib, since re-assembling old cribs can lead to safety issues, and crib hardware can wear out over time. Crib mattresses are also a great place to save money; since spending more doesn't buy you more feature.


Saving Money on Other Nursery Furniture

The full set of gorgeous nursery furniture is tempting, but honestly it’s not necessary to purchase the complete sets. Those tiny baby clothes will store just as easily in a less expensive dresser, or in baskets or bins in the closet or under the crib. You can also add a changing pad on top of a dresser. This option is much cheaper than purchasing a separate changing table. If you want to skip the changing table entirely you can stock a cute basket with diapering supplies and a waterproof changing pad. A rocking chair or glider is nice to have if there's room in the budget, and may be one piece to splurge on so you can get a sturdy one.


Saving Money on Nursery Bedding

If you’re looking to save on Baby Bedding, you can check out our collection of Baby Bedding at our online store. We offer competitive quality and prices with our Baby Bedding.  Make sure to check out our entire collection of My Blankee Baby Blankets as well!


Saving Money on Nursery Walls

You may be full of ideas when it comes to your new baby nursery, so starting out with a blank slate is always a good option. When it comes to wall coverings, though, you can make a big visual impact without spending much money. A fresh coat of paint isn't expensive, and can give the nursery the serene or cheerful look you want. Also, if you'd like to work on a theme, wallpaper borders can be an inexpensive place to start. Even murals are within reach of most budgets if you can transfer sketches to the wall and fill them in. Some of the most amazing murals I've seen in kids' rooms were done on the cheap by parents.


Saving Money on Nursery Themes

Here at My Blankee we offer a variety of prints and patterns to match your baby’s nursery theme. Once you decide on a theme, look for just a few special accessories for the nursery, such as lamps, rugs or wall art, that convey the theme. If you can't find something inexpensive, try making your own artwork, or purchase some stencils and transform an inexpensive lamp into a themed one. Be creative, and remember that your home will seem to overflow with baby and toddler gear in no time. You may decide to enjoy a minimalist nursery while you can!

3 Thoughts on Choosing a Baby Blanket

May 20, 2011 11:22:48 AM PDT

1. Warmth and Security

This is probably two of the main things as parents that we are always concerned with. So picking the right blanket can not only keep your baby warm, but also give them a sense of security as well. Mothers feel relaxed and comfortable when they know that their little angel is safe, warm and secure. So picking a new born infant blanket is very important to not only the child, but the mother as well. My Blankee has a wide variety of baby blankets to meet your babies needs!

 

2. Newborn Brain Stimulation

This one's extremely important! Your newborn baby gets a lot of brain stimulation and comfort from their baby blanket. It's a fact that babies are constantly learning about the world around them through touch, and there is nothing in the first year of their life that they touch more than their baby blanket. They are constantly dragging it around and playing with it. So when you go to purchase you first few baby blankets try to find some that are extra soft or even one that has several different raised designs or textures. There are many different varieties available with different patterns like animal prints, paris designs and various other beautiful patterns. These act as great brain stimulator for your baby. Once he get little older then these blankets may act as a great learning source for him. This will certainly help to stimulate your babies brain and help with their initial learning.

 

 

 

3. Types Of Baby Blankets

There are many types of baby blankets out there. There are newborn blanket, receiving baby blankets, cotton baby blanket, snuggle blanket and organic baby blankets just to name a few. Everyone has their personal favorite blanket depending on what it is going to be used for.

Many people do not realize that conventional cotton that is used in most baby blankets has been subjected to pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fertilizers or other chemicals. Organic cotton, that is used in organic baby blankets, is pure cotton that is natural and free from all of those chemicals. I personally find great peace of mind knowing that the blanket that my child will use every day for many years is safe for their health.

There are many more factors that you should consider when buying your new born baby blankets. I hoped this article was able to spread a little light on the subject and gets you out there thinking a little before you buy that first blanket.

We love Rebecca's My Blankee Review! Here's what Rebecca had to say about My Blankee! She received wonderful feedback from her readers on her blog about My Blankee! One mom had mentioned "Cutest blankets ever. I'm kicking myself for not finding out about this site earlier!!!"

Every baby has to have a "special" blanket. When my first daughter was born, I was blessed to receive 5-6 blankets that were special for her, but when I had my second baby that was 1 thing I didn't receive. I am not sure if people thought that either I had already had enough from my first, or that because she was a summer baby that she wouldn't need one. Either way, Every baby needs a blanket. This brings me to my next review opportunity with My Blankee. Make sure you can read more of her My Blankee review on her blog!
