First things first, let's talk about baby furniture. Yes, it might be more comfortable than what you've been dropping into, but there's no shame in wanting your little one to sleep like a rockstar, right? While you toss and turn, baby will be dreaming away on a tempur-pedic-like cloud (comparatively speaking) of dreams. So pick a crib that screams, "My baby's naps will be legendary!"

You're basically Jason Bourne of babyproofing. Go, Mama, go!
