Baby Stuff List (2) - 家具及用品

By 逍遙津 - Ingrid

Nursery Furniture

Crib --- I think the most important feature is that you should be able to lower the sidebar by one hand.

好的Crib很貴，BabyRUs裏麵動輒200多。剛開始我們用的是朋友給的，後來有點不放心，到IKEA買了一個，$70多。將來可以改成 junior bed。我覺得還是新的比較好，很結實，放心。因為baby長大了很喜歡扒著欄杆在Crib裏麵跳，還是結實最重要。

Mattresses --- Don’t buy foam ones. They are not as good as coiled ones.

我們也是在IKEA買的，跟crib配套的。

Mattress pad --- My mom made this for us. And I think you should have at least one. It’s not very comfortable sleeping directly on the mattress. Some use waterproof ones. But I don’t think those waterproof material is very comfortable. Plus, I think disposable diapers can prevent wetting bed pretty well. Amy hasn’t wet her bed once.

需要。現在我們在matress上麵墊了老人從國內帶來的厚毯子，也很舒服應該。

Changing table --- We don’t have a changing table. We just change her on our bed. Again, it’s because we don’t have that much space.

我們在IKEA買了上麵這樣的一個櫃子給小孩放衣服，也拿這個當changing table用。

Changing pad --- We don’t have it either. The bed is soft enough. But if you have a changing table, then you have to have this.

我們買了一個這個放在上麵的櫃子上頭，很管用。尤其是剛開始學習換diaper的時候，很容易弄得到處都是濕的，這個是塑料的，就不用擔心了。可以在上麵再墊一層毯子，這樣就算濕了，也隻需要洗一個毯子而不是整套床單被罩什麽的。

Bedding/Room Décor

Crib sheet --- We have 2, quite enough.

買一套bedding set就可以了。

Receiving Blankets --- Buy the 30 x 40 ones. There are a lot of 30x30 ones on the market. They are too small. And you don’t need to buy too many. We bought 4, never used them to wrap Amy, though. The reason is that new fabric is not that comfy. We took half a dozen from the hospital. They don’t have fancy patterns. But since they have been washed over and over again, they are really soft.

有用，剛開始的時候包蠟燭包用的，不過ingrid很不喜歡被包得緊緊的，總是想辦法把手伸出來。後來我們就不打包了。

Waterproof pad --- We don’t have any.

same here。

Quilt --- We don’t have any. In winter, we just layered her using our quilt.

以前用的是bedding set裏麵的小被子。後來老人來帶了好幾床小棉被子、絲被子，我都想睡在裏麵，一定又暖和又舒服。

Crib Blanket --- Don’t have any, either.

也是從國內帶來的。

Bedding Set --- We bought one set from IKEA, really cheap, $20, including a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, a blanket, and a bumper around the crib. And that ’s actually quite enough. We found the bumpers people put around the crib very distracting for baby. We stopped using it after we started training Amy to sleep. So I don’t recommend you buy those fancy bedding set. But again, they are really cute.

我們也是在IKEA買了一套。Bumper在她學會站起來之後就拆了，怕她踩著bumper掉出來。
