As a future parent, many questions cross our minds. One of the first questions we ask ourselves is: when should I start furnishing my future baby’s room? 

Some will say that starting too early is bad luck, while others will assure you that it is good luck. So how do you go about it?

Preparing your baby’s room can be a worry about not wanting to forget anything and the lack of knowledge, especially if it’s your first child. It can also be a great pleasure of pregnancy if you are well prepared and guided.  

To help you choose the ideal moment to start shopping for your future baby’s room, the sleep experts at Kadolis will accompany you and guide you in your choices. 

The 5th month, the ideal time

First of all, it is important to remember to follow your desires. If you want to start in the first few months because it makes you feel better, then go ahead!

At Kadolis, we recommend starting around the 5th month of pregnancy to give yourself time to organise. 

As some products may have long delivery times, and as baby may arrive a little earlier than expected, this will allow you to prepare your future baby’s room calmly. 

It also allows you to spread out the payments, because as we know, a baby’s room can be expensive. 

Starting early will also allow you to compare different options and, why not, take advantage of discounts if there are sales coming up. 

Think about the construction

If you’re planning to carry out work in your future baby’s room, such as painting, we recommend that you start as soon as possible. This will give you time for any touch-ups or unforeseen delays, and it will allow you to air out your baby’s room before he arrives. 

Creating a healthy environment for your baby

The choice of paint and furniture for your baby’s room is crucial. 

Babies are particularly sensitive to chemicals and spend many hours sleeping in their rooms. It is therefore important to carefully choose the products that will be part of their environment, especially those that will be in direct contact with their skin. 

Natural materials

Opt as much as possible for natural materials, without chemical treatment for his mattress and sheets, on which he will spend most of his time during his first weeks. 

There are now many alternatives to polyurethane foam mattresses (which is a petroleum derivative), such as natural latex, which comes from the rubber tree in the Amazon, or coconut fibre. 

Fitted sheets are also important, as they are in direct contact with your baby’s skin. Choose sheets made from 100% organic cotton for their softness, and their absence of dangerous products. 

Certified products

In order to ensure the quality of the product you are going to buy for your future baby, do not hesitate to check the certifications that are attributed to the product. The OEKO-TEX® certification ensures that the product is not dangerous for the baby. This is the essential certification for textiles that will be in contact with your baby’s skin. 

If you would like to discover OEKO-TEX® certified products, discover the ultra-soft Kadolis fitted sheets in organic cotton. 

Another certification to consider, especially for your baby’s organic mattress, is the EUROLATEX® certification. If the product you buy has this certification, it means that it is made of natural latex, not synthetic latex. This is ideal for a baby mattress!

In conclusion, try to start designing your future baby’s room early enough to avoid being caught off guard, but above all, listen to yourself and have fun during these unique and precious moments.
