When you discover the exciting news that you're expecting a baby, naturally you’re eager to provide your child with the best possible start to life.

With endless amount of gadgets, & the continued introduction of new technologies, there’s no shortage of innovative items to be excited about filling your nursery with.

However, Australia is officially in a recession as COVID has triggered the biggest economic plunge on record.

So, let’s be realistic about this.

Human beings have successfully procreated & parented their newborns for thousands of years without the need for the newest & best version of everything available in the market.

So... how can we establish what items are deemed as essential on our purchase list & what items can we can do without?

To help ascertain what they are we speak with Karen Faulkner.

Karen is a Registered Midwife of 30 years, Child & Family Health Nurse, Baby Sleep Consultant of 20 years & hold a degree in Psychology among a long list of other qualifications

 

We ask Karen questions including:
What are the essential items parents need to build a nursery?
What has been the biggest change in setting up the baby's nursery in the past 30 years?
Why are we gadget-obsessed when it comes to our babies & their nursery?
How would a parent know if their cot is SIDS (Red Nose) safe?
What are the 3 most important factors to help promote sleep for the baby's room?
Is it possible to use a cot from birth, if so how?
What is dock-a-tot snuggle pod and how can they help the transition / the 12-week period immediately after you have had your baby?
Why is it important to invest in a good feeding chair?
