Choosing Cribs Beds For Your Baby

Sleep is a vital part of the baby's life. A crib helps them develop the habit of sleeping independently, and it also keeps you both safe during the night.

There are a myriad of cribs of various dimensions, styles, and mattress support heights. We searched for cribs that are secure and easy to use and aesthetically pleasing.

Size

A crib is a best cot bed made for infants and babies. There are many types of cribs available, but they all are smaller than the standard toddler bed and provide an ideal place for your child to sleep. Some cribs have wheels, which allows them to be moved around the home. They are generally designed to reduce SIDS risk by providing a comfy and safe environment that is like the mother's womb.

While many parents would like their children to remain in a crib for as long as is possible however, some parents will be ready to move them to a toddler bed faster than others. The most common crib is the standard crib. It can be used for your child's first year up until they are 18 months old, or they can climb out.

There are bassinets too, which can be used from newborn to four months, or until the baby is too large for it. They are smaller and less bulky than cribs, but they can give parents the intimacy that infants require in their early months. They also are smaller which makes them a good option if you're not sure what type of bedding your child will prefer.

To ensure your child's safety, cribs and bassinets both have safety guidelines. For instance, there must be no gaps bigger than two fingers between the mattress and the crib frame and the slats must not be missing or loose. The bed should also not have any cutouts on the headboard or footboard because this could trap the child's legs or head and increase the chance of suffocation.

You can buy cribs with a variety of designs and colors. Some come with integrated shelving units or changing tables. These are especially useful when you are planning to breastfeed and allowing you to breastfeed your Baby Cot in the crib. If you're short on space or have a small budget you can still find cribs that have all the necessities.

If you are willing to invest a little more, you can buy cribs that can be transformed into daybeds for toddlers, toddlers or sofas. These are commonly referred to as 4-in-1 cribs. They are a good choice for parents who do not wish to purchase an entirely new crib each when their child grows out of the crib they have.

Style

You might want to choose a crib that matches the overall style of your home, regardless of whether it's rustic or contemporary. There are many cribs available in a variety of designs and shapes that come with natural wood or color finishes.

Some cribs come with adjustable mattress support heights, so you can lower it as your baby grows. The higher position is ideal for newborns, and the lower position should be used prior to when your baby begins to roll or sit up in bed, which typically happens before they are a year old.

The mattress of a crib can be perched on a one-piece board, a grid of wood slats or spring-wire frames. Both What to Expect and Baby Bargains recommend using a metal spring base, as this is considered to be more durable than wood slats that can break or become loose over the course of time. The base should be sturdy and securely attached to the crib, so that it doesn't allow air to circulate around the mattress, a possible risk of suffocation for infants.

Safety

There are reports of non-fatal incidents that include 21 fatalities reported in the NPR and two additional reported fatalities received during the NPR update, are based on the crib mattress being too soft. These incidents can involve a range of dangers, including gaps between the mattress and the side or between the head and footboard that could cause the entrapment of. Infants can also fall onto the mattress or become trapped between it and the headboard or the wall.

Some manufacturers now offer "breathable" crib mattresses which claim to encourage sleeping in a safe manner and reduce the risk of breathing in baby's own carbon dioxide, which is hypothesized to contribute to SIDS. However, there is no epidemiological evidence that breathable mattresses lower the risk of SIDS.

To ensure your safety, pick an innerspring mattress that is between 2 and 3/8 inches thick, Best cot bed or an innerspring mattress that meets federal safety standards for toddler beds and cribs.

Once your crib and mattress conversion kit is in place, converting the crib to a toddler or full-size bed will take no more than 30 minutes when you have two people.
