Designing a nursery for your baby is one of the most joyful parts of pregnancy—especially for first-time moms. But it can also raise a lot of questions: When should I start shopping for baby furniture? What items are truly essential? Which brands are safe and reliable?

This guide will help you plan your nursery step-by-step, featuring top-rated furniture brands like Dadada Baby, Million Dollar Baby Classic, and Delta Children—all available at MacroBaby.


🗓️ The Ideal Time to Buy Nursery Furniture

Most experts recommend that you start choosing and ordering nursery furniture during your second trimester, ideally between 20 and 28 weeks of pregnancy. This gives you plenty of time for items to be delivered, assembled, and styled before your third trimester when you’ll want to take it easy.

Also, some cribs and furniture pieces can be on backorder—shopping early ensures you're ready before your baby arrives.


🛏️ Nursery Must-Haves for First-Time Parents

Here’s a list of essential nursery furniture that every new mom should consider:

Crib or Mini Crib

A crib is the heart of any nursery. Whether you go for a convertible option or a smaller mini crib, choose something safe, sturdy, and certified for infant use.

Storage Solutions

From onesies to diapers, you’ll need organized storage. A dresser with multiple drawers is a great place to keep baby clothes, wipes, and more.

Nursery Chair

A glider or rocker creates a calming space for late-night feedings and cuddles. Comfort is key—look for padded armrests and smooth motion.

Changing Station

Some parents opt for a dedicated changing table, while others use a changing pad on top of a dresser. Either way, you’ll need a clean, accessible surface for diaper changes.

Lighting and Finishing Touches

Soft lighting, breathable curtains, and cozy rugs make the nursery feel like home. Dimmable lamps or nightlights help with those 3 AM wakeups.
