NURSERY HACKS EVERY MOM SHOULD KNOW | + Nursery Organization and Storage Ideas

[@schill2002]

My favorite nursery “hack” is to keep a small storage tote in the room/closet for “memories”. So much paperwork and other sentimental items come in during the first year. The smaller bin (vs a jumbo tote) keeps it in check but allows for a safe place for special little items.

[@pineapple1383]

I find plastic shoe box sized boxes work great for sentimental through the ages

[@Ihdobevoli]

I wish I saw this comment before. I lost my baby’s umbilical cord and I’m absolutely gutted

[@threearrows2248]

I like the "outgrown box". We keep a bin in the attic with the next size of clothes and cloth diapers. My kids share a room, #3 is due in a month and there will be no more nurseries in this house... We never used a changing table, we just threw the kids on any surface to change them. We use a rolling cart which hold diapers/blankets/burp cloths/wipes in the living room/dining area, which is literally where we spend 95% of our time. We also have a rolling cart which holds all of our homeschool material. I'm convinced rolling carts are the best home hack of our generation!

[@VRiannazzo]

I did the dresser instead of the changing table. It makes so much more sense . The magnets on the curtains is GENIUS!

Do you look for a specific “change table” with drawers or just any usual dresser?

[@LayaRay]

I watched this because I love a useful, convenient space and I wanted to see someone else’s ideas. As I’m watching, I’ve discovered I’ve done the same thing in my daughter’s nursery. The dresser instead of changing table, organizers/dividers in the dresser, ruggable, wall book shelves! These ideas have definitely been useful and convenient in her nursery!

[@21stefari]

I also have a ruggable rug in my baby's room, and I love that they're thin enough to put pads underneath. We just got some super cheap harbor freight anti-fatigue mats and putting them under the ruggle rug is still smooth and no tripping hazard!

[@kawannahardy2924]

A tip to make the blackout curtains more effective: instead of using a decorative or straight curtain rod, use the old school ones that wrap around. They're really cheap in big box stores, and bring the curtains back around to the wall/window frame.

[@leab7789]

Yea! I got mine at home depot for less then $2

[@ambermead5952]

They have really nice and decorated ones as well. I have a double rod one. Works great for layering and adding color and texture but practical as well. I got a curtain with the holes on top that makes it easy to close and open. I find that the fabric ties ones or inserted in fabric ones are hard to close abc open. Makes such a difference.

[@Abcdwagsss]

Yep! $1.50ish and extremely effective

[@JK-fs5qp]

@@Abcdwagsss Could you please share the link of the curtain rod you got?

[@nanaronhano337]

Her room is just beautiful. You did such a great job. 🙂

[@biancalewis4232]

I love the idea of a dresser for a changing table! As someone having a c section I love my changing table that doubles as a baby bath under the change mat. It has a drain hose and it’s so eased to move to and from the bathroom

[@justforthelulz93]

The magnet on the curtains is GENIUS

Watching this even though idk if I'm going to ever have a child because I love you that much.

[@BethanyBeery]

When my first was a baby I finally set up 3 bins, donate, try to sell, and keep (for next baby or give to a friend). I was tired of too small clothes ending up back in the laundry cycle. We also got a tool chest to use as his changing table. It started as a funny photo I showed my husband and he loved it. I actually grew to love it too. I picked white with a beautiful wooden top. It looked really sharp, not hillbilly. I enjoy knowing it’ll be used for years to come in my husband’s shop.

[@DebtFreeMillennials]

I love the IKEA spice rack hack for books. What a great budget-friendly idea! FTM due in March so I'm learning ALL the hacks that I can. Thanks, Kallie!

[@granesperanza6478]

I was going to say the same thing! I was trying to figure out if I could squeeze a bookcase into the nursery, but the spice racks are genuious!

[@Claudia-sm9te]

My kid never had blackout curtains. As a baby she had white shades so for naps her room was just a little dim, but nowhere near dark. She slept like sleeping beauty and I could even go in and vacuum her room without waking her. As for myself, I slept without curtains for years! Love the natural light seeping in, in the morning.

[@aprilbirdww]

I agree the bin of outgrown clothes is a game changer! I always share that tip with fellow new parents!

[@angelinaeasley9471]

I used to not be able to sleep unless it was pitch black. I didnt even like the tiny light that stayed on the on the t.v sensor. I found that Velcro on the inside of the curtain and the wall, all the way around works great!!

[@StFrancis9]

I like how the magnetic strips. Thinking about it for my room too

[@Mrs.Frankenstein]

Black out curtains are EVERYTHING even to an adult with no kids lol.

[@ang_131]

With respect to window coverings, if you mount your curtain rod close to the ceiling and at least a foot wider than the window itself, and then have curtains that are nice and full (fabric should be 2.5 times your actual window width) and that go long, close to the floor is awesome, that sort of mounted curtain plus blinds block out ALL the light, no magnets or fancy tricks required. Also, those are pretty much all standard decorator’s tips for mounting curtains anyways. They look good open and closed.

[@gailagilliland3268]

I am long past the days of having a newborn but I still enjoyed watching this video. You have come up with some great solutions to what can be big problems! I especially like the way you organize the dresser drawers. This habit will serve you well as your kids grow out of baby and toddler days. They will know where to put their clean clothes and what goes where. The rugs in your kids’ rooms are really gorgeous. I remember the day my six years old son puked all the way from his bed, into the hall, and across to the bathroom. Of course there was carpet on the hallway floor. Nasty! That was just a nasty job. Good luck with your delivery and I can’t wait for your birth announcement; I don’t imagine you can wait for it either! LOL ♥️

[@paigebrooks1627]

Personally I found for my sons window to black out the sun i got pulldown shades from walmart that are about $10 and you tear them to fit the window and mount inside the window sill, and i also use a black out curtain in front of it. Youre trick is a great one too Kallie!

[@donnabush7938]

I sewed the loop halves of Velcro strips along the edges of my curtains, then glued the hook halves onto the edge of the window frame to keep the light out

[@clairel5858]

I am so glad you are making these videos! They have helped me so much! ❤️

[@kelliemccarty6041]

A cheap window hack that I use is a black plastic table cloth taped or tacked to the window. I hung our existing curtains over the table cloth and no one can tell that is it there. I also take one with me anytime we travel. It works wonders!

[@kdramsey965]

Some really clever ideas. The blackout window treatment idea is good for a variety of situations. I’m going to offer a different perspective on newborn sleeping. My son was born in winter and had jaundice. (He was born a month early) he slept with therapeutic lights for the first week+ of his life. He needed some kind of light source at night for several years afterward.

[@mandiewood-donaldson5030]

These are awesome hacks. Not just for new moms, but for everyone. Black out curtains are essential. For everyone. 😆 especially for those who are ill or deal with migraines. 😫 Ty for sharing.

[@Jennlewis16]

That magnet hack is brilliant! I can't believe I never thought of that

[@AprilNewlyMe]

Such a cute nursery!! I can’t wait until it my turn. I never really thought about shades or blinds. That’s important for napping! Black out certain seems like a great idea.

[@WhattheFatisHappening]

I love the labels on the drawers. Like on that exact spot! I never thought of putting labels on thr drawers upright where you can actually see them right away once you open the drawer. And its also not outside the drawer that ruins the drawer and it doesnt look cute

[@sashlav04]

I'm expected first baby in May. I have all the tips you suggested except for an empty bin for outgrown clothes. That's a great idea. So I'll be adding that to the top of the closet rack

[@samanthasprague3296]

If you don't want to use magnet's velcro dots will also work to seal the edges of the curtains.

[@Wowzaman638]

It’s better to not use blackout curtains....that way baby can differentiate between night and day. In the NICU we make sure we open the windows during the day so they don’t get day/night switched. Just thought this might help someone!

[@jfr7160]

Olive, Miles, baby girl’s room, and tape in the hair game... what’s not to love?? Great tips! I need the dark out info for my room!!

[@countrymama2839]

Don't think you need to but my expensive furniture...Cube shelves are great for baby/kid rooms because they're super versatile. We have large unit in my son's room (make sure to use the wall anchors); some shelves have books, extra diapers and wipes are in a bin, shoes on another shelf, a bin on the bottom holds some toys, blankets are in a cube, etc. My daughter's room has the same thing happening on just a standard bookcase with some dollar tree plastic baskets (I use them in my drawes for socks too)

[@gurlvlogs1406]

New to your channel, but I really enjoyed this video! Thank you for sharing your tips/hacks it was awesome! 💯😍

[@Alex347Fin]

I bought two dressers and made them into a changing station. One in the living room and one in the bedroom. It just made sense to buy a dresser instead. I personally can sleep just fine whether there’s light or not. I used to be extremely scared of the dark as a kid so I would keep the lights on. I think I’m just gonna let her sleep with naturally dark room without trying to make it darker. It just makes it easier when you’re an adult

[@luisangelynmolina9865]

This is my first pregnancy and this was so helpful. Thank you!!!💗

[@tarigeorge6122]

Both rooms are beautiful.

[@amjhub]

I was gifted a changing table, and thus felt obligated to use it. Not only is it super wobbly and takes up space that could be better used, but she’s outgrown it at not even 18 months. The dresser is so much better.

[@f.g.6680]

I’m a first time mama and these are awesome ideas! Thank you!

[@Arkiegirl26]

Both my girls I've used a dresser as a changing table.

[@kayd731]

My mom did with me.

[@angelicaborda8663]

I don't have a kid....I'm not pregnant....yet I still watch these videos. You make organizing so soothing and easy going. Always a fan of your videos ☺️

[@emilyhennessey8294]

Honestly, I've never had blackout curtains for my girls and they sleep just fine. I think it depends on the kid.

[@cynthiamaria9556]

Same! I have 3 kids never had blackout curtains. Our power went out the other night and my 4 month old screamed and cried so much until I got a camping lantern set up in our room, My 3 year old and 6 year old need some light to sleep too.

[@tajughouse7760]

Exactly. I was thinking the same

[@Starsofneon]

I think it would also depend on what side of the house the nursery is on (windows) , size of windows, as well as the season ! I had a winter baby where it was dark at 4p.m so bed time was easy. I have also had a baby in Summer and her nursery had a large double window facing East so she had alot more light coming in and to as late as midnight. It really does just depend on the specific home, child, etc.

Dear parents! When Your kids are very good behaviour all the time and always taking good care of their things, keeping their rooms very clean, loving their favorite things and want to make nice childhood collections of their things: books, clothes, toys, video games, clothes, DVDs and etc, then donataing is very wrong thing to do. If You have few space then storage boxes and shelves will help You out and Your kids will be very happy and thankful then, if they can keep their favourite things. Childhood things are very valuable and it is very sad, if they won’t see them anymore in their life. Every child should have the right to keep their things, if they can take good care of them all the time!!! Respectfully, Astra Viil ☺️🙏
