Safe sleep & nursery
Keep the sleep space simple, firm and clear.
⚓ Felipe, Bianca & Pudding are expecting
A little sailor is joining the crew in January 2027. This is the family’s calm, practical place to count down, prepare the nursery and plan every nappy.

Estimated arrival
Mid-January for now — the exact due date can be swapped in later.
The voyage plan
Buy what protects sleep, transport, feeding and daily care first. Everything else can wait until Acerola shows the crew what he actually likes.
The master checklist
Selections stay saved on this device. “Wait” does not mean unnecessary — it means there is value in learning Acerola’s needs before buying.
Keep the sleep space simple, firm and clear.
A small first stock avoids being stranded with the wrong fit.
For a January baby: light layers, frequent washing and room to grow.
Buy a flexible starter set; feeding needs become clearer after birth.
The car restraint is the one item that must be ready before the trip home.
Pack by 36 weeks, then make the first fortnight deliberately easy.
Baby-shower nappy planner
Trying to collect a full year at the shower can create waste if the fit or brand does not suit Acerola. This plan deliberately favours Sizes 2–4 and keeps Newborn stock small.
Set the guest list
This shower could provide
Roughly 180 days (26 weeks) at an average of 8 changes a day. A first year is commonly around 2,700–3,000 disposable nappies, but every baby differs.

Size reference
Months are only a planning guide. Frequent leaks, red marks or poor coverage can signal it is time to size up.

Quick guides for the crew
Pack by 36 weeks: paperwork, chargers, comfortable clothes, toiletries, feeding support items, maternity pads, snacks, baby’s going-home clothes and the installed car restraint.
Official Australian checklist ↗Freeze easy meals, share night and household duties, limit demanding visits, stock parent medications safely, and nominate one person to coordinate help so Bianca and Felipe can rest.
Refresh calm cues before birth, create Pudding’s quiet retreat, introduce baby scents first, greet calmly, reward relaxed behaviour and supervise every interaction — no exceptions.
Choose breathable light layers, protect from direct sun, keep the pram ventilated and never cover it with a blanket. Dress Acerola for the room temperature, not a fixed outfit formula.
The non-negotiables
Always place Acerola on his back; keep his head and face uncovered; use a safe cot and firm, flat mattress; keep the cot clear of pillows, bumpers, toys and loose bedding; keep him smoke-free; and use his own sleep space in the parents’ room for at least the first six months.
