We all want the best for your new little angels!   Of course we also dream of our babies becoming the next Einstein or Thomas Edison too.  While we can’t baby crib bedding set that you choose is definitely one of the top priorities to accomplish the right setting and balance for your child’s first year.  Here’s some great ideas on creating a crib and color scheme to give your baby the brilliant boost you’re looking for.

Creating a Soothing Baby Environment with the Right Colors

The first step is to choose a color scheme that you and baby like.   To create a soothing and soft surrounding, go with blue, soft green, light purple and soft pink hues as the basic color on her baby crib bedding set.  Blues even slow the nervous system to really create a natural calming technique.  If none of those colors tickle your designer fancy, then go with any of your favorite colors in a softer and lighter shade.  As for prints, try to find sheets and a bumper in an easy-on-the-eyes pattern and lighter colors.  For the real bold prints, you can buy the quilt and accents to set in the crib when not in use. 

Colors to Add for Baby Entertainment Purposes

To add some entertainment and fun colors to the space, hang a musical mobile off the crib rail.   If your baby wakes up in the middle of the night and is fussy, you can always turn on the mobile as the solitary thing to catch her attention and while her muted crib bedding will keep her calm.  Also make sure any accent lighting isn’t glistening directly into the crib when it’s on at night, so not to jolt your baby into a wide awake state.  Now we can focus on the parts of the nursery that can blend in with the baby crib bedding set, but are made to stimulate and inspire your little one in their alert state.

Using Colors of Toys to Spark your Baby’s Senses

For a well rounded nursery, it’s a great idea to design a space that is all about playing, learning and creativity.   Fill a shelf or basket with all your baby’s favorite toy, books, blocks and puzzles in varying degrees of contrasting colors.  The compounding of lights and darks together kick-starts brain activeness and helps with hand and eye coordination.  Adding a cozy rug or soft cushy pillows is another fun way to introduce textures and colors together.  During playtime, try to limit the toys set out in front of her to two with one light and one dark.  With too many toys around, it can be overwhelming and then they concentrate on nada to avoid overstimulation, thus defeating the purpose of the playtime.  In this area, you can also add patterns on the wall as well to make it clear this is a space for activity.  She will love looking at the bold patterns and contrasting colors.  If the baby crib bedding set you chose for your baby has modern circles or cute airplanes, you can carry over the theme onto the walls, but make the images on the walls brighter with more glorious hues.

Creating the Optimal Night Time Feeding Space for Baby

Another area to regard is a night time feeding area.  Using more soothing colors and a comforting glider is best for this space as well.   Although Boppy is coming out with adorable covers with cute prints, try to resist and get a soothing and muted style cover so your child isn’t trying to focus on the puppies or polka-dots with bright colors while feeding in the middle of the night.  It could be hard to put her back down once the feeding is over if she has woken themselves up eyeing fun patterns.

With all these tips on how to divide your baby’s nursery into soothing spaces and exhilarating spaces, your baby will be on her way to healthy boosts of brain activity at the right times.  With this kind of set up, she will be ready to learn, due to a soothing night’s sleep and then her imagination and curiosity will be sparked by the bright and motivating play space for well-rested awake times.
