Your baby's nursery, A to Z
You will want to be able to control the temperature of the baby's room as much as possible, but you must also be wary of drafts. Ideally, a heating or cooling vent is positioned away from the baby's sleeping area. If your vent is floor-mounted, make sure it is secured and can be opened and closed.

Consider installing a ceiling fan in the room! In addition to providing air circulation and a soothing sound, the movement fascinates many babies.
