The Most Stylish Daybeds to Add to Your Baby’s Nursery

"

When you’re a new parent, everyone tells you to “sleep when the baby sleeps.” And while this is good advice in theory, it can be very difficult to actually put into practice.

What I’ve found and what I’ve learned from much more seasoned parents is that it’s actually much more effective to sleep while your partner is “on duty.” Baby sleep is so fragile, and I had a really hard time getting restful sleep when I knew that I might have to be up in five to ten minutes.

But when your partner is handling everything, you have the peace of mind knowing you won’t have to pop back up as soon as you hear a wail.

Putting a daybed in the nursery is a great way to allow this situation to play out in a practical way. It also allows for the nursery to double as a guest room during the early months if baby is sleeping in your room. Let’s be honest, we could all use a bit more space.

We’ve rounded up some of our favorite daybeds to add a chic yet functional touch to your nursery. The best part is that, unlike so many baby purchases, daybeds are versatile and can be repurposed for years to come in different ways throughout your home.
