That's why most of these have the animals face down or angled....

First time posting here in Baby Bumps, but I’ve been a long time commenter/fan of this sub. Currently 38+6 and a FTM. I LOVE seeing everyone’s nurseries and am so excited to share ours! Had so much fun putting the nursery together.
Here are some of the things we got that I love in our nursery:
I know we will probably have to adjust things in the nursery once the baby comes and he gets older (I’ve seen plenty of moms comment on here how they laugh at some of the nurseries because they’ll eventually get wrecked or puked on or whatever) but for right now, I absolutely love it. I wanted to have a lush, forest feel...with dragons!
Good luck to all the moms out there. I’m so excited to become a mom myself. :)
If you do s registry through Amazon they have a great walk through thing that goes through different categories and sub categories of things you might need or want.
I'm not a first timer so here are a few things you may want to register for aside from what you already have :
Things you shouldn't register for:
Hope this starter list helps!

Disclaimer: There's really no theme to our nursery, despite the abundance of giraffes and Poohs. I already owned all of these Winnie the Pooh stuffed bears...he's a lifelong love of mine, and I just think giraffes are neat.

Maybe get this! It goes perfectly with your theme!
This sounds silly I know, but my little boy loves pressing buttons. We got him this mobile and took the actual mobile part off. The little bottom part is four buttons, a night light and each button plays a song. We lay him down and he's drowsy, he pressed the buttons and falls asleep. The baby monitor goes off in the night with him waking randomly then pressing them and going back to sleep - maybe something like that sort of distraction would help?
Of all the nursery themes I've seen I love this most of all. The Small world disney ride has the warmest memories. For my baby I made a crib mobile and bought a musical mobile spinner and Its a small world is one of the songs, it would be perfect for your room!

Omg this thing has been his favorite since he was 3 weeks old. He still goes nuts over it at 4 months. It keeps him entertained longer than anything else in the house.

I love my boppy, my LO is 11 weeks and I’ve used it for breastfeeding every day. He also does tummy time on it because he hates laying on a flat surface and hangs out lounging on it. I get so much use out of this thing. It’s one of my favorite purchases. Boppy Nursing Pillow and Positioner, Sketch Slate Gray https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075GLC4RK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ow2VCb8AT517E
If you’re gonna BF, instead of getting disposable pads I got these washable ones which are velour on the inside so they’re soft on your nipples, and they are good at absorption. They have different shapes for different amounts of protection, I wouldn’t get any of them except the blue rounds “overnight” ones because they are the most absorbable.

This baby tub is awesome because it folds flat (i live in a NYC apt and space is very dear!) and it also has a little hammock so you don’t have to hold the baby the whole time he’s bathing.

My baby loves this mobile. It’s super engaging. Tiny Love Classic Mobile, Into The Forest https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0771N1BZW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_kB2VCbHCM9BJE
Baby is OBSESSED with this toy. We have it hanging over his changing table and he lays there and stares at it forever. It’s his absolute favorite thing. I’m serious. The only thing is I read that the ink on the eyes smear off if they put it in their mouth so I don’t plan on giving it to him to hold/play with but just as a distraction while he’s getting his diaper changed. But seriously he never gets tired of looking at it and it was the first thing that made him happy when he started being aware and I really recommend it.

Baby also hated the "bucket" style infant seat. A few things helped us:
An assortment of thoughts and questions for today:
Formula smell question: We use Similac Sensitive Non-GMO. If he doesn't drink it all right away, it develops a foul smell within maybe 15 minutes. Is this true of other formulas? Any recommendations?
Post-partum nausea? Does anyone else get occasional bouts of post-partum nausea? I get it when I swim, e.g. when I do cardiovascular exercise. After about 25 minutes I start to feel sick. It feels very similar to when I was pregnant. Maybe hormonal?
Shout out to this mobile. We put it up last night and I thought my baby might hyperventilate with excitement. It was like Sue getting a surprise.
We got a mobile that contrary to the pictures, the animals face down. Also my baby monitor projects stars etc onto the wall. Is it necesary? No, probably not. But it gives him something to look at when he's ready to pay attention to these things.
....Also the husband really wanted them.

We originally wanted to do a space and elephant themed room, then changed it to animals and space, then changed it to a general sky theme. These pictures are from yesterday when we finally finished, a day before our c section we were just surprised with! Due to complications this ended up being our best option, I’m sitting in the waiting room right now trying not to think about how thirsty I am, haha. Pictures and birth story are soon to come of our baby boy Isaac! 😊
Edit: ignore the plain gray sheet on the twin bed, that will have a comforter set on it soon for my seven year old daughter who will be joining us part time in a couple months. It’s hard to see in the photos but we put some glow stars over her bed, and my mother will be making her a sheer canopy to hang over as well.
I am obsessed with my baby boy’s nursery! Husband painted the mural and it’s perfect. I’m 37 weeks now and I am so happy we have it done. Below are my favorite items and where you can get them:

Our babies loved the Manhattan Toy mobile and would stare at the black and white patterns for ages. https://www.amazon.com/Manhattan-Toy-Wimmer-Ferguson-Infant-Stim-Mobile/dp/B00W89SX2S

Ok. I know this one take batteries but it turns off automatically after 30 minutes. We've had one for a couple months now, use it every day, and still haven't had to change the AAs yet. It's on long enough that my babies play for a minute and then conk out watching it. The animals face down and it spins. Can be played with music or no music. Also, it can attach to anything. I ordered one for each babe and am considering a third so it can stay in the car for outings. By far this is the most useful piece of non-essential baby gear we bought.

My mom and mom-in-law always told me that he would grow out of it... at 15 months, he sure did! Every baby is different, give love more than anything! :)
Still needs to grow out of bottles at nighttime, though...
Edit to add: He seemed to really take to this new mobile I got for him that I saw on Homeland (lol), it totally soothes him right down to sleep town.
You totally need this mobile now!

Right here actually

I got it as a Christmas gift from my BIL. I love it!
It looks similar to one I've seen on Amazon: Baby Crib Mobile by Tik Tak Design Co - Felt Ball Mobile https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075VJTWGW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_uXwgDbE7DK8J1
Check Etsy!! I ordered a custom one from Etsy (my nursery theme is puppies, but colors are navy, pink, and grey - all generic puppy type stuff for babies is very masculine looking so I custom ordered) that I LOVE. It was $56 but it's absolutely perfect and exactly what I wanted because it's custom.
I hung it from the ceiling and bought this music box thingy that I tied between the mobile itself and the ribbon affixing it to the ceiling hook. It plays music, and spins the mobile. I like it a lot.
I have a video of the mobile going if you want it. I ordered on Etsy from this shop, GraceAnnBaby but she's since moved to Amazon Handmade instead of Etsy. She did a great job! It did take about 2 months from when I placed the order to receiving it though.
Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Authentic-Models-GL061-F4-System/dp/B00606O9NC/ref=br_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&colid=3NN6JIIJ4UHL0&coliid=IC3NQ7AWKZDAO It was waaay on sale though. My hubby wanted this mobile and a baby carrier so he can hold Jax while he plays video games lol Those were his only requests.
hahaha id be thinking the same thing! im convinced there is a ghost in our house. my daughter has a mobile on her crib that's battery operated. its this one. as you can see the only way to turn it on is by pressing the buttons on the front and/or by pressing the button on the remote. until recently she slept in a bassinet in our room so I had time to get her nursery perfected. anyway i had the mobile attached to the crib but because she didn't sleep in there i hung the remote on the door handle so i wouldn't misplace it. so i was putting clothes away in her dresser and the mobile just turns on. the dresser btw is about 8ft from her crib and about 6ft from the door so theres no way i could've either pressed the button on accident or touched the remote. just altogether freaks me out.
what about something like this Baby Mobile Motor. Might be able to find one that is plugged in and would work forever.
Where I literally get everything ever. Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00W89SX2S/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1492140247&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=developmental+mobile&dpPl=1&dpID=51NS6yUJv7L&ref=plSrch
I really like it because you can swap the images as baby grows. They start out as black and white geometrical shapes and progress to colors and more complex shapes (houses/fish). Plus one of the images is a black and white baby face which he freaking loves. He's always smiling and squealing at the baby.

This does not have sound or move, but we loved it.
I had this one, but if this one had been available when I was looking for one, I probably would've gone with it instead, it looks better.
This one looks pretty good, top amazon result. Not sure if you're looking for bigger.
Here is the desktop version of your link
Once my baby noticed it (around 8-10 weeks) she really enjoyed looking at. I was able to put her down in her crib, turn it on, and it would give me 20 minutes of free time to use the bathroom and eat! She's 6 months now and she still enjoys it and I think she finds the music comforting b/c she's heard it so much! I got this inexpensive one and it's great b/c it's easy to move and travel with.

We have this one, but would like to keep it for baby #2. Just thought I'd share the link. :)
I ordered it from Amazon! Here you go! :)

I highly recommend this mobile. It’s awesome we still use ours at 2 years old we just clip it to the sunroof opening now instead of the seat handle

We had the same problem with a tall homemade mobile, had good luck with this one from Amazon. The extra arms come off easily if you don't need them (we didn't) and it's pretty inexpensive.
