bedroom ? This makes it more convenient to monitor your baby.
However, you can always opt for an audio or video monitor.
Time to decorate! Choosing a particular theme and design for your
baby room depends on how much you want to spend, how much space you
have, and whether it's a boy or a girl. To be safe, you can always go
for gender-neutral colors such as greens, purples, and reds.

get some ideas, visit a few baby stores and check out different
styles. They may even have example rooms set up that you can check
