Designing and purchasing for a new baby’s nursery can be a daunting experience. Do you have questions about how to create the ideal, babyproof nursery? Maybe you’d like to know more about the colours which work best for babies, or which furniture would be best for your space? Perhaps you’d like an idea of what you should be aware of safety-wise?

Leave any questions you have for John Lewis nursery expert Deborah Glen.

Here’s what Deborah Glen, John Lewis nursery expert has to say: ''I have worked at JL for over 6 years but have 22 years’ experience working within the nursery industry, I am now the selling coach for Stratford and enjoy helping customers with their nursery needs. I am also a grandmother to two boys, so use my own knowledge and usage of the products when assisting customers. Lots of customers come back to introduce me to their newborns. It's nice to see the new additions to the JL families!"

Post your questions to Deborah below by 4th July 2016 and we will send over 20 questions for her to respond to. We will then post a link to her responses on the thread ASAP.

Finance is an issue and I feel that sometimes with baby products you are just paying for the brand name. Can you recommend lower priced items that do not compromise on style, quality or safety, and that can be adapted for extended use?

How far away from a radiator should a Moses basket on a stand be?
I want to put the Moses basket next to the bed but have not got much space and a radiator is on the wall to the side of the bed at a right angle.

Our nursery looks ok - ish. However i think the walls are too plain as we left them (newly) painted without any decoration. We ruled out wall stickers (we thought it would pull the paint off of we wanted to get them off again) and pictures as we were worried they could fall off. However i think it needs pictures. Any guidance on what pictures (i.e safety glass??) and what the best fitting are for normal internal walls? Also any tips for what to do with a cot once they out grow it, apart from throwing it away?

We live in a 1 bedroom flat so baby's nursery will be incorporated into our (reasonable size) bedroom. What are the bare essentials that we can't do without?

Thanks everyone for your questions. The winner of the prize draw is bumblebee86
