Store baby toys and soft toys
If baby's many soft toys and toys allow him to grow up in a peaceful and pleasant environment, they often take up a lot of space in the baby's room...
To avoid being invaded, the The best solution remains the traditional toy box. Made of wood or plastic, with wheels if possible, the toy box will optimize space by sliding easily onto the baby's bed. Remember to use your ceiling and your door! Fabric storage that hangs on doors or a hammock can be diverted and used as lint guards to optimize space. However, these fabric storage spaces should be reserved for light stuffed animals, to prevent heavy objects from falling on baby.
Tidy up baby's bathroom
Baby bathing is often a whole story.
You need to prepare the bathtub, the soap, the towel, a change of clothes, the diaper, the wipes, etc. The baby toiletry bag is also well stocked with nail clippers, cotton swabs, brush and special baby perfume. Suffice it to say that all this equipment takes up space.
To find your way around, reserve part of a bathroom shelf for baby's things. Plan a toiletry bag with everything you need that you can take with you whenever you want.
Besides this, arrange the different objects in order of use from right to left (or vice versa according to your preferences ).
For example, you will place the shower gel, then the brush, and then the perfume! To store baby's toys, you can opt for a simple plastic box, which is water-resistant and will be reserved for this purpose. Finally, be careful to put all household products and sharp objects (nail clippers, razor, nail file, etc.) out of reach.
