best IKEA baby products
Nursery shelf
Getting that nursery prepped for baby’s arrival doesn’t have to be pricey. This wall-mounted shelf has five handy surfaces to display all their little knick knacks in a safe place that’s out of reach. LUSTIGT wall shelf, $10, ikea.com
Mobile
The fluffy critters on this adorable mobile will help them fall asleep and the neutral colour palette is pretty much guaranteed to go with any nursery decor. HIMMELSK mobile, multicolor $10, ikea.com
Fitted sheets
Let’s face it, a lot of drool, spit-up and diaper explosions happen that first year in baby’s crib. Do yourself a favour by stocking up on these affordable sheets made from sustainably grown cotton. LEN crib fitted sheet, $15 per 2 pack, ikea.com
Security blanket
While toys in the crib aren’t recommended for infants, once your baby is old enough for a “lovey” or a security blanket, this is a great option. At only $4, you can stockpile a few so you have a backup one for the car, stroller, grandparents’ house or an extra one if yours gets dirty. LEKA snuggle blanket with soft toy, $4, ikea.com
Hooded towel
Bath time will be a breeze with this hooded towel that goes on like a poncho so you don’t have to worry about any tiny parts catching a chill. KLÄMMIG towel with hood, $12, ikea.com
Soft book
How cute is this little lamb? Plush books with different textures and sound effects are great for stimulating baby senses and can be tossed in the wash if they get covered in too much drool. LEKA play book, $8, ikea.com
Stacking cups
Who knew cups could be so much fun? This set is great because the cups nestle inside each other making them easy to transport. Bonus: the bottom of the cups have different sized holes making them fun toys to play with in the bath. MULA stack and nest cups $4, ikea.com
