#BabySussex: How Meghan and Harry can create a space for baby to grow | IOL

With Baby Sussex well in its way, parenting expert Sister Lilian has a few suggestions on how Meghan and Harry can create a space for baby to grow.

A nursery room is more than just a place for your baby to sleep, it’s an essential space for them to grow, be happy and healthy. “Research has shown, that it is not advisable for baby to be left alone in a nursery room in their early months of life. "Attachment parenting is essential for emotional well-being, and bonding. This parenting style is easily built when there is zero separation between parent and child in the early months of life. Having said that, you and baby will spend a lot of time in the nursery, even if they only start sleeping there a few months down the line. So, it’s good to make the space feel like a sanctuary for them”, explains parenting and Pampers Institute Expert, Sister Lilian.

Look at choosing softer, warmer colours that can help create a soothing and calming space. This will come in handy for naps and at bedtime, in the nursery. If you want to add a range of colours at once, ensure that this is broken by a wall with one solid relaxing colour that the baby’s eyes can rest on as well.Patterns can also have an overstimulating effect on your baby. Items on the walls, such as animal paintings, shapes, letters or numbers can be overwhelming for your baby.

Opt for minimal objects/patterns across the walls in the room, or dedicate one corner for the decoration. The walls should have a neutral space with as little stimulation as possible. When it comes to patterns, less is more. Remember, almost everything about life and interaction with loving parents is already stimulating for a small baby.Babies can associate different lighting with different activities. When the room is brightly-lit, babies often associate this with daytime and playtime.
