Your nursery is more than just a cute room — it’s your baby’s sleep sanctuary and your middle-of-the-night hangout spot.

Here’s your go-to list for nursery registry success.


🛏️ Sleep Space

  • Crib or bassinet
  • Firm mattress + 2 fitted sheets
  • Waterproof mattress cover
  • Sleep sacks or swaddles

🔊 Safety + Soothing

  • Baby monitor (video or audio)
  • Sound machine
  • Nightlight

🧺 Storage & Decor

  • Diaper caddy or shelf
  • Soft storage bins
  • Blackout curtains
  • Personal touches: wall art, name sign, cozy rug

💡 Nursery Tips

  • Register for items that serve function and style
  • Skip full bedding sets (unsafe for infants)
  • Think about traffic flow for diaper changes and late-night pickups

A smart nursery is a calm, functional space where baby — and parents — can relax.
