Free checklist: Must-haves in the baby room for girls

Even if the baby girl's room is not particularly large, there are a few essentials that should always be present, regardless of whether it is a baby room for girls or boys

The baby crib determines the style of the baby room

Your little girl will spend a lot of time here. Especially in the first years of life, your baby will sleep here not only at night but also during the day. Depending on your desired style, the crib should determine the style of the baby's room. Opt for a classic baby crib, a playful or a minimalist bed model.

Functions of the crib

Your baby crib should have the following functions in order to grow with your baby and to be practical and comfortable for parents and baby at all times:

Height-adjustable mattress position and
Removable side panels or bars

Changing unit - function & design for daily changing

A changing unit with an attachment or a changing table with a changing mat is also essential. The changing unit should have the following functions to create a safe, back-friendly and comfortable changing experience for parents and baby.

Changing unit with high sides
Height-adjustable changing surface
Plenty of space for changing utensils such as wet wipes, diapers, creams or toys to keep baby occupied in a meaningful way
Easy to reach - changing utensils should be within easy reach
A cushioning, comfortable & skin-friendly changing mat

Of course, the design of the changing unit and changing mat should be coordinated with the rest of the baby room furnishings. Nevertheless, we recommend prioritizing the functionality of the changing unit set. As you will be changing your little girl several times a day, the right height, enough storage space and a large changing surface are essential for safe, comfortable and back-friendly changing.

Basic equipment for the baby room for girls:

Changing unit set consisting of changing table, changing top with high sides and changing mat
Crib, mattress and several fitted sheets
Cotton or woolen blankets and sleeping bags
Children's closet (open according to Montessori)
Montessori shelf for toys
Crawling mat
Night light (if required)

In addition to the baby furniture, the floor of the baby room also plays an important role. The floor of the baby's room is used for playing, painting, sitting and romping around. Babies crawl across the floor on their little hands and knees, lie under the play arch and make their first attempts at walking with their cute little feet.

Crawling mat - protection & comfort for baby & parents

Tummy time in the girls' room: We recommend a high-quality crawling mat for the play area. You will spend a lot of time on the floor with your baby. Whether sitting, kneeling or sitting cross-legged, tummy time, crawling and most baby games take place on the floor.

Crawling mats with particularly dense foam cores protect babies from cold surfaces such as stone floors, tiles or even unheated parquet. They insulate from underneath, protect babies from unintentional injuries when kicking and provide fall protection during their first and still uncertain attempts at walking and standing. Crawling mats can not only be used in girls' nurseries, they can be used in any room in your home to keep your baby safe and comfortable.

Tip: Make sure that your crawling mat is particularly kind to the skin, i.e. NON TOXIC! It should be free from harmful substances such as PVC or phthalates.

Baby room for girls - furnishing tip: soft pastel shades and soft textiles

White baby rooms often look cool. For girls, soft and muted colors are therefore popular for the baby room wall design.

With pastel shades such as rosé, yellow, beige or even light blue, you can create a wonderful play world that stimulates your child's imagination and creativity.

Wooden toys & Montessori toys for babies

Activity & Montessori toys are something for all parents who value meaningful activities for their babies.

Movement plays a special role for babies. Experts say that movement is to babies what reading books is to adults. Movement stimulates the brain and promotes motivation and creativity in babies.

Activity toys such as the Emmi Pikler climbing triangle support the age-appropriate development of babies and toddlers. Babies can train their motor skills and muscles at an early age. In keeping with the idea of free play, babies and toddlers use the climbing triangle as a climbing toy, crawling tunnel or cave. With every rung climbed, the child's self-confidence is strengthened, which literally makes your child's eyes light up.

Baby room for girls with children's wardrobe

An open Montessori children's closet provides valuable educational storage space. It offers plenty of space for baby clothes such as bodysuits, baby socks, baby jackets, baby pants and baby shoes. Once the baby has become a toddler at one and a half to two years old, this children's closet promotes your child's independence according to the principles of Maria Montessori.

Children learn independence at an early age by removing and returning their clothes independently.

With an open children's closet, you have enough storage space and shelves to keep your little girl's room tidy and beautiful.
