Set Up a Baby Nursery at Grandma's House - Provide a place for baby to sleep. This is probably the most important item for Grandma's nursery. How much time your baby will be spending at Grandma's and her available space will help you determine what type of sleeping arrangements will be needed.
Changing diapers is inevitable with babies. A changing table is comfortable for both baby and Grandma; it provides baby with a secure feeling and saves Grandma's back from leaning over a bed to change a diaper.
Set Up a Baby Nursery at Grandma's House
Stock the changing table with the essentials Grandma will need to care for baby. Include diapers, wipes, diaper rash ointment, nasal aspirator, thermometer and baby nail scissors.
Keep on hand an ample supply of extra clothing items for baby. Items such as onesies and undershirts are an essential staple in any nursery. Babies go through several outfits a day, sometimes in an hour it seems! Make sure Grandma has enough clothing to keep your little one comfortable and dry.
A laundry hamper is also a helpful item for Grandma to have in her nursery to collect all of the soiled clothes and bedding. A small hamper or basket near the changing table will make it easier for Grandma to launder baby's things.
Grandma's house can sometimes be a surrogate home for your baby. Whether Grandma watches your little one regularly, or relieves you for the occasional well deserved break, making sure baby is comfortable is important. Consider setting up a baby nursery at Grandma's house. Grandma's nursery doesn't need to be as elaborate or decorated as yours at home, but a few familiar touches will soothe your baby and make him feel right at home. - by eHow
