About this episode

Hi MLN Podcast fam! I am so glad you are here for part 2 of our new series - Baby Registry 101! If you haven't listened to part 1 (episode 198) be sure to check that out to learn where to start with your registry. But today, let's move our focus to nursery essentials!

Designing and decorating your baby's nursery is one of the most exciting tasks of pregnancy! But let's be honest - it can also be kind of overwhelming too! So today, I'll guide you through the must-have items you need to create a cozy and safe sleep environment for your baby.

From cribs and mattresses, to bedding and sound machines, we're going to talk through it all - with a healthy dose of pros and cons thrown in!
