Two nurseries

[Newmummy1994]

We are looking at moving and I am thinking of establishing a nursery downstairs so that in the day if we are home the baby can have peaceful sleeps and all of their bits can be easily accessed. Also it then can be adapted into a playroom as they get older and makes sure that they know their bedroom is for sleeping.
DH thinks I am being silly, but I think that if we have the room then it should make sense somewhere peaceful and in one area.

Seems like a waste of a room to me

Given that current guidance is for babies not to be sleeping in a room alone it seems a bit pointless

Seems a bit odd, if it's going to be a playroom make it a playroom , if you want to put a crib in there for day naps so be it, but you'll have to sit in there anyway when they're very young. I used to either let them nap in the living room or use it as an opportunity to relax on our bed/read a book/fold laundry/do an online shop etc while they napped in the next to me in our room.
Once they are old enough to be left alone to sleep you just put them in their room

Have you had a baby before? They might like naps on you/ in a sling /pram/ with background noise. They should be with you in the room for naps for six months anyway to protect against SIDs.
A changing mat and nappy caddy downstairs is handy, but that plus boobs and lots of muslins were all I needed. Unless you've acres of space I wouldn't waste money and duplicate furniture

Thank you i didn't realise that.

Seems a waste, as others a baby is more than likely going to sleep on you for awhile.

I had a Moses basket for downstairs and I bought two boxes (I'll add link to similar) from mother care to keep nappies, creams etc in so one upstairs and one down.
