Beyond the aesthetic and decorative aspect, the baby’s room needs minimum environmental requirements that contribute to its good development.

To define the baby’s room you should think about the interaction with the environment, because it is the key to the development of your baby since it must guarantee support in terms of health, nutrition, affection, stimulation and protection. These components can not be separated since their combination depends on the immediate and future well-being of your child. This combination expresses the care, attention and position of your baby within the family.

It is simple to ensure compliance with minimum environmental requirements focused on the care of your baby. For example, the temperature of the baby’s room should be comfortable and drafty; Ideally, your baby should sleep only in his or her crib, that is away from contact with pets, that all visitors wash their hands well before touching it and, as much as possible, avoid kissing; It is preferable that smokers do not visit the baby, although ideally in the first month visits are few.

If the conditions demand it, the baby’s room can be shared with the siblings, but from the six months and taking into account that the crib must be separate, be individual and never shared.

The colors of the baby’s room are chosen by the parents; The important thing is that the painted surfaces should be washable to keep them clean, because when you grow up, your baby will explore, play and anoint. Likewise, remember that toys and mobiles that adorn it must have volume, not be flat, or dismantleable in small parts.

Assigning spaces exclusively for your baby reinforces their identity and strengthens their self-esteem. Moving him to his own room with age-appropriate decorations is a good start to indicate that he has a right to a place in this world. Also, if you put a chair on the table, it confirms that you are a member of a family.
