If your Pinterest page is any indication, you're all squared away when it comes to your baby-to-be's bedding and a picture-perfect theme. But as your due date arrives, it's time to think outside the crib and consider what gear will really make your life easier when you've got a newborn snoozing in that too-cute nursery. After all, your paint color really won't matter when you're sitting in the dark during a nightly feeding! On that note, one nursery must no mom can do without is a night-light. Sure, your little one likely isn't afraid of the dark just yet, but chances are you're a little wary of tripping over your peanut's pile of board books at 3 a.m. Not only will this little light guide the way when you're tip-toeing out in the wee hours of the morning, it will also help your sweetheart snooze. Choosing a bulb with a soft glow, a strong contrast to a bright overhead light, will give your honey the heads up that it's nighttime — that's right, your little one can set her internal clock to it! And that's not the only small nursery item that will make a huge difference in your new-mom life. Discover which item soothes babies to sleep. 7 other essentials you need now »
