Choosing cribs beds (click here for more info) For Your Baby

Sleep is an essential part of the baby's life. A crib allows them to develop the habit of sleeping independently, and also keeps you and your baby safe at night.

There are many cribs of various sizes, styles and mattress support heights. We looked for cribs that are safe and easy to use and aesthetically pleasing.

Size

A crib is a bed that is specifically designed for infants and babies. There are several different types of cribs available, but they all are smaller than a toddler bed and provide a safe place for your child to sleep. Some cribs come with wheels that let them be moved from room-to-room and the majority are designed to lower the risk of SIDS by providing a safe and comfortable environment that is similar to the womb.

While many parents would like their children to stay in a crib for as long as possible but some children are prepared to transition to a toddler bed sooner than others. The most popular type of crib is a standard crib, which can be used from birth until the time your child is about 18 months older or is capable of getting out.

Bassinets can be used for infants from birth to four months or until they are large. These are smaller and less bulky than cribs, but they can offer the comfort and closeness to parents that some infants need in the early years. They are also more compact which makes them a good option if you're not sure what kind of bedding your child would like.

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

You can buy cribs with a variety of styles and finishes. Some come with integrated shelves or changing tables. If you are planning to breastfeed, these cribs can be extremely convenient since you can feed your baby in the crib. If you're limited in space and have a a limited budget there are cribs that just feature the bare essentials.

If you're willing to invest a little more you can purchase cribs that can be converted into daybeds, toddler beds or sofas. These cribs are known as 4-in-1 cribs. They can be a great choice for parents who don't want an entirely new crib each time their child grows out of the old one.

Style

When choosing a crib, take into consideration its style and design in relation to the design of your baby's nursery. If the design of your home reflects an inclination, such as modern or rustic it is possible to select one that matches the overall theme. There are numerous cribs to choose from in various designs and shapes and with natural wood or color finishes.

Cribs are safe sleeping places for babies. Initially, they were simply cribs that could be rocked. As the understanding of child safety evolved and the need for a stationary crib became norm, and the designs changed to ensure better protection against accidents or entrapment. The cribs of today are built with features like sturdy construction, the right spacing of slats, and non-toxic materials. They are designed to ensure your baby's safety and well-being.

You'll also find cribs that incorporate with a changing table or shelving unit to make it easier for parents in the early stages of infanthood. This type of crib is not recommended for babies who are ready to stand or climb. It could make it easier to get out.

Some cribs come with adjustable mattress support heights, meaning you can lower it as your baby grows. The higher setting works well for newborns. The lower position is best used when your baby is able to sit up or roll over in the bed. This usually happens around the age of a year.

The mattress of a crib can be positioned on a single piece of board, a wood-slat grid or spring-wire frames. Both What to Expect and Baby Bargains recommend choosing springs made of metal, because it is believed to be more stable than wood slats that can be prone to breaking or becoming loose over time. The base must be secure and firm to prevent excessive air from moving around the mattress. This could pose a suffocation hazard for infants.

If you're planning on keeping your baby in a crib as long as possible, then think about a crib that can be transformed into a toddler bed, daybed and eventually, a full-size bed. They usually come with rails that are removable, making the transition from a crib a regular mattress easier. They also often come with adjustable levels for the mattress.

Safety

It is essential to select cribs that comply with strict safety standards, no matter the style and design you select. In the United States, this includes certifications from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and conformity to ASTM International standards. Look for these certifications on the crib's packaging or description. Also, check the crib's frame to see whether there are any wood or paint imperfections that could pose a risk for your baby cot online.

If you're looking to purchase a mattress for your child's crib, pick the most solid mattress you can find. This will help reduce the risk of accidental suffocation which is the most common cause of sudden infant death syndrome. Make sure the mattress fits comfortably inside the crib. A mattress that is too big or too small could be risky for your baby because they could get trapped between the mattress's sides and the headboard or the crib's sides.

Certain reports of nonfatal accidents, including 21 reported deaths reported in the NPR, and two deaths that were reported during the NPR Update, involve a crib bed that is too soft. These incidents can lead to a range of dangers, such as gaps between the mattress and the crib's side or footboard, which create entrapment risks and infants slipping into or getting trapped between the mattress and the headboard or wall pillows and blankets that pose suffocation risks; and mattresses that are too hot, causing infants to suffer burns, rashes, and other health issues.

Some manufacturers are now marketing "breathable" crib mattresses, which they claim will help your baby sleep more safely and prevent rebreathing or breathing in your baby's carbon dioxide. It is believed that this could contribute to SIDS. However there is no epidemiological evidence that breathable mattresses lower the risk of SIDS.

Conversion

A Baby Crib joining your family usually results in an influx of new things including toys and clothes to furniture for the nursery. Making the investment in cribs that transform into toddler beds or full size beds can help you save money on furniture and make the transition to childhood easier for both your child and your family. These conversion kits can be purchased for various brands of cots and tots, and come with an adjustable headboard and footboard. Some models are GREENGUARD Gold Certified which means they emit low emissions of chemicals, which makes for better indoor air quality.

It is essential to choose the best mattress for your child's crib whether it be an adjustable crib or a standard crib. This will ensure that they have an enjoyable sleeping. You can pick between foam, innerspring or gel mattresses in a variety of sizes to suit your needs. To ensure safety, select an innerspring mattress that is at a minimum of 2 and 3/8 inches thick, or an innerspring mattress that is in compliance with federal safety standards for cribs and toddler beds.

You'll need to purchase a full-size bed conversion or a toddler bed once your child is ready for larger beds. Ideally, you should have it in place before your child turns two to ensure the transition goes smoothly and your child is comfortable with the transition. After your crib mattress and conversion kit is in place, the process of converting the crib into a toddler bed or full-size bed will take no more than 30 minutes for two people.

Certain things can make the transition to a toddler bed more relaxing for your child. These include keeping the decor and bedding consistent and moving the toddler bed into the same room as their crib. Engaging your child in the transition by giving them a selection of their favorite toys or stuffed animals to sleep with and encouraging them to get into bed on a regular basis can also help them adjust to the new bed arrangement.

A crib that is able to be converted into a full-size bed is a great method to prolong the life of your investment and also provide a bed for your child throughout their teenage years. The conversion kits that are available for these cribs are available in different styles to match your other furniture pieces and can be fitted on various kinds of mattresses, including twin and full size.
