In addition to everything necessary for a child, the crib is the main place for him from the very first days of life. Therefore, it must be designed and installed so that the baby feels safe and comfortable in it.
It is best to buy a crib made of natural wood, and the slats in the crib should be placed in such a way that the baby's hand or head does not get stuck between them. In addition, the sides of the crib should be adjusted according to the height of the child.
The place for the crib should be cozy, warm and light. It is not advisable to install the bed near a door, window or radiator. In order to always keep an eye on the baby, it is better to put his bed in his room.
The mattress should be of medium firmness in order for the child's spine to develop correctly. To avoid getting wet, the mattress must be covered with oilcloth. It is also necessary to purchase a canopy that will protect the baby from drafts, flies and mosquitoes.
To prevent the child from hitting the sides of the crib, it is better to close them with bumpers with the usual pattern in pastel colors, because bumpers of bright colors have a bad effect on the child's nervous system and vision.
It is recommended to choose a fairly light blanket, and if it is hot in the room where the child is, then a bath towel may be suitable. And if the temperature in the room suddenly drops, then you can cover the baby with a light fleece blanket.
