Sleep Training has recently become a hot topic, thanks to actress Nikita Willy, who applied sleep training to her 6-month-old baby, Izz. But before that, do you know what sleep training is?

Sleep Training is a method used to teach babies to sleep comfortably and independently throughout the night. This method is beneficial for maintaining the quality of a baby's sleep and for parents as well. While not common in Indonesia, this parenting method is widespread in Western countries. For moms who want to implement sleep training for their little one, the first step is to decorate their room.

A good baby's room should not only be beautiful but also safe and comfortable. In addition to security through CCTV to monitor the baby's movements, safety in terms of furniture also needs to be considered.

Here are some tips for decorating your little one's room:

1. Use a Safe and Comfortable Crib

The primary decoration is using a safe and comfortable crib for your little one. There are many types of cribs, but it's best to choose one made of wood. Wood is not only safer but also protects the baby from falling during sleep. Another reason is that wood is softer and safer compared to other materials.

2. Set the Lighting

One thing to pay attention to when decorating a baby's room is the arrangement of lighting. For sleep mode, you need a wall-mounted lamp. This is to prevent the baby from staring directly at the light. A comfortable sleeping environment for the baby is essential to avoid direct exposure to light.

3. Ensure Air Circulation and Natural Light

In addition to artificial lighting, natural light and good air circulation are essential. Make sure to choose easily adjustable windows and ventilation. Good air and natural light will make the baby's sleep more comfortable.

Choose wall paint that doesn't use harmful chemicals and is safe for the baby's health. For colors, go for neutral and cheerful ones to make the baby feel comfortable. When using wallpaper, opt for fabric, vinyl, or PVC materials to prevent mold and mildew growth.

5. Install Curtains

Curtains are essential for decorating the baby's room because they reduce excessive sunlight exposure in the morning and during the day.
