Hello this is Florence, child psychologist, today we are going to talk together about the layout
of your child's or baby's room.
I thank the toponlinessells blog for allowing me to participate on a subject of how to properly arrange your baby's or child's room?.
The layout of your child's room is directly correlated to your child's sleep, and your child's sleep particularly affects you, because it affects your sleep.
Know that a child who has just spent nine months in the womb of his mother, will try at all costs to reproduce this confinement that he has known all his life, so you will have to arrange your child's room according to this need for confinement.
What is important is that your child is a dedicated space and that it is materialized as being his space, let's see together now the layout of your child's room.

How to properly prepare the baby bed?
the first element to place is the bed, I remind you that the child has really need to be contained and confined.
Also I advise you to put the bed in a corner so that your child is surrounded by two walls, you will see very quickly your child will always go to the corner of these two walls.
You will then ensure that this bed is away from any source of heat, but also from the cold, so we keep it away from a radiator, or a window.
Last little element on the placement of the bed, my advice if possible: make sure that the bed is visually accessible from the entrance, so you can just open the door, watch your child who is sleeping from afar without waking him up.
Or put the changing table away from baby?
The second element that you will place will be the changing table, there it is also about the safety of your child, so I advise you not to put your table lying under the window.
I also invite you to remember to have everything close at hand, I remind you that you never leave a child alone on a changing table.
Practical thought: when you change your child you will have one hand to hold your baby and another hand that will be used to grab a diaper, the cotton, the notion of a spare bodysuit... so all of this must be within easy reach. hand.
You must keep in mind that the bedroom will not just be a place to sleep, your child will grow.
How to design a space in the baby's room?
I invite you to imagine different spaces, the bed space I won't go back to it, just next to the bed you can install a space that will initially be used for breastfeeding, whether breast or bottle feeding.
You can also provide a play area in your room, initially in the play area you will find: an awakening mat, and awakening games, a teething ring.
When your child grows up, you can add a small desk, a chair, a coloring story or board games that will be adapted to your child's age.
How to place the lighting in your child's room?
In order to better materialize all the spaces in your child's room.
The easiest way is to play with the lighting, for example for the breastfeeding corner which will perhaps also serve later simply as a story corner or as a cuddly point, you can provide a night light with a very soft little light.
I take this opportunity to tell you that it has been scientifically proven that a child cannot be afraid of the dark before the age of two.
Also the question of the night light will be settled at this time, some children may request a night light, sometimes the simple fact of opening the door ajar will be enough to reassure your child, other children are still very comfortable with being in the dark.
Again trust yourself and your child.
To finish on the lighting of the bedroom, always put yourself in your child's place, in the first months of his life your child will be lying down, so remember not to put him under a
direct lighting, his eyes are certainly fragile, but even you wouldn't like to be lying under a lamp.
Health advice
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that you ensure that the temperature in your child's room is not too high between; 18 and 21 degrees, however if you cannot adjust the temperature of the heating in your house, for example because you are on central or collective heating, do not hesitate to simply discover your child.
In the bed I remind you that we put nothing but a baby with his sleeping bag, no bumpers, no cushion, no everything.
In terms of decoration, the World Health Organization (WHO) does not yet systematically recommend meters of pink in little girl's rooms and blue in rooms with two little boys.
Nevertheless it is recommended to pay attention to the composition of the materials that you are going to bring into your child's room on the paint for example where the furniture.
