Whether we are the parent, grandparent or one of the many aunts and cousins, a newborn baby will be the focus of our attention as soon as he comes home from the hospital. It is with anticipation that we watch his daily development. On the first month he begins to focus on items about a foot away and respond to familiar voices. By the end of the second month he has learned to smile, follow objects with his eyes and make noises. Everybody loves it when he pronounces his first “ah” and “ooh”.

It is for this reason that choosing the right baby room decor is an important phase in preparing for the coming home of a new born. It is essential that the choice of colors, patterns and accessories should contribute to the baby’s continuing development. Framed colorful pictures, charming images may be hung in different parts of the room. Even the pattern of the window curtain should stimulate the development of the baby’s optical faculties. Mobiles over the crib and changing table attract the child’s attention and entertain them.
