Just curious. We will be moving into a new place when LO is about 11.5 months old. At that age is her room still a nursery? Because I always think nursery is for newborns
-
I think once there is a bed instead of a crib it's not a nursery.
-
@JerricaBenton: Same!
-
LO is 18 months and I call it her bedroom.
-
I have always called it her room, not nursery.
-
I call my LO's room, both his room and nursery. We're nursing in there, so it's definitely still a nursery.
-
@JerricaBenton: same!
-
I never called it a nursery. Probably bc I didn't get Lo a crib and etc
-
When the crib & changing table are dismantled. Probably 2yrs? 2.5yrs old?
-
Probably around 2, 2.5...when they're not really babies anymore.
-
I agree with others, when there's a bed instead of a crib in there.
-
I agree with @TurtleDoves: and @hilsy85: Sometime around two years old is when my baby will stop being a baby and on his way to being a pre-schooler. So I guess that's when I'll stop calling it a nursery. Of course, if my kids end up rooming together (which is a very high likelihood), I may have to extend it until he's nearly three and the next one is two!
-
@BelugaBean: @TurtleDoves: @JerricaBenton: What about convertible cribs? I know I'll be turning Henry's crib into a toddler bed when he gets big enough and since he'll probably have to share his room with his new sibling after a while, the changing table will hang out in there too. Would you still call it a bedroom or a nursery?
And on a side note, didn't they have nurseries in England up until the child was something like eight? Or am I just thinking too much Peter Pan-ish?
-
I figure when they have no crib and/or when they understand that it is "their room".
-
@NaturallyCathy: I plan on converting his crib as soon as he can stand because I'm do scared he will climb out & fall that long distance. We will use rail though! So it's still a nursery to me;)
We plan on both LOs sharing a room but our LOs will be so close in age that I'm assuming it'll still be a nursery. -
@TurtleDoves: Henry's been standing for nearly four, five months now and has been walking for nearly a month. He doesn't sleep in a sleep sack and his crib isn't on the absolute lowest setting yet (because with my pregnant belly, I wouldn't be able to reach him... as soon as LO is here, we're dropping it). He hasn't tried climbing out yet and I don't see him trying it for a few more months at least. I'd be scared to change his crib to the toddler rail until a few months from now just because I'm not sure what mayhem he'd get to if I changed it now!
And I'm assuming so too, on the nursery bit since the age difference is so little. It just makes sense.
-
@NaturallyCathy: I guess I'd probably just call it LO's bedroom but if a crib and changing table is still in there I think I'd still classify it as a nursery. I wouldn't say to a 2 year old 'go to your nursery' though
-
Our nursery will stay the same for LO2 and DD will move over to the (currently) guest room once its time.... so I feel like I'll be calling it the nursery forever.
-
I have only ever called it "Audra's Room"
