Baby Feng Shui



The essence of adorable.
Feng Shui for babies is very important. Babies are also the most sensitive to energies, both good and bad. They are the best barometers of the energy in your home. Paying attention to those energies will help when planning  the baby nursery and the products used in it. To insure the new baby will have a healthy start in life, use as many organic, non-toxic products as possible. Think of organic cotton and other fibers that do not use bleach, dyes or other chemicals in their manufacturing. This includes the crib mattress, sheets, curtains, rugs or carpets, baby clothing and toys.  Crib bumpers, comforters and pillows should not be used in the baby's crib. Do not use air fresheners, scented candles or inhalants in the nursery. If a vaporizer is temporarily needed, a couple of drops of tea tree oil or other organic essential oils added to the water are all that is needed.  If possible, have an Electromagnetic reading done in the room before the baby arrives. Clear the room of too many electrical items. Too many electrical items, as well as overloaded outlets in the nursery will disturb the baby's sleep. Keep a baby monitor as far away from the crib as practical.
The nursery should not occupy a room over the garage or empty space in the house. The position of the crib is also extremely important. It should be placed against a solid wall and the baby's head should not point out a window. The crib should not be directly in line with the door.
If you want to paint the nursery, use no or low VOC paint. Do not use bright colors, as they may stimulate the baby too much and disrupt sleep. Muted colors are soothing. Lighting should also be muted, window shades should be used at sleep time. Bright overhead lights are very startling to baby.
Keep clutter to an absolute minimum in the nursery. Clutter bogs down energy. Keep all of the necessary items in a convenient place, where they are used the most. For example, keep a supply of diapers at the changing table or in a "changing" basket.
Babies born in 2009 will be born in the Year of the Ox. (The Chinese Year ends on Feb. 14th) Ox babies are steadfast, but strong-willed. They are patient, but do have their limits. When they are hungry - they need to be fed fast!
Babies born after Feb 14th in 2010 will be Tiger babies.
Tiger babies and children are cheerful, with a curious nature. They enjoy the competiveness and athleticism that sports offer. From an early age, Tiger children can't pass on a dare or a challenge. They are intelligent and friendly. They need stimulation, but must be allowed to rest when tired. Parents with a Tiger baby should take their cues from the baby, as to when they need attention and when they need to rest.
