Instructions
Step 1
Give preference to a bed made of natural materials, preferably wood (pine, birch, oak). The slats of the bed should be located at such a distance from each other that the handle and the head of the child cannot get stuck in them. It is best if the sides of the bed have an adjustable height that you can change as your baby grows up.
Step 2
Choose a suitable place for your baby cot. It should be light and warm. The bed should not be located near the radiator, window and front door. If you decide to put a crib in your bedroom, place it next to your bed so you can easily watch your baby and get up to him as needed.
Step 3
For a crib, choose an orthopedic comfortable mattress. It should keep its shape well and not bend under the baby. This is a prerequisite for the correct formation of the skeleton. Cover the mattress with oilcloth or put on a special waterproof mattress cover to avoid getting wet.
Step 4
There is a special canopy for a baby bed. It is made of mesh or lightweight fabric. In addition to the aesthetic effect of coziness, the canopy can protect the crumb from mosquitoes or the flow of air from the window. Just remember to wash it regularly, as the canopy collects all the dust.
Step 5
Cover the sides of the bed with padded bumpers to prevent the baby from accidentally hitting. Give preference to pastel colors with simple patterns. Do not choose too bright sides, they strain your eyesight and affect the nervous system.
Step 6
Cover the mattress with an ironed sheet. It's good if it is with rubber bands on the edges. Do not use a pillow for babies under one year old. You can use a soft diaper instead of a pillow. A blanket for a baby should be light and small. If the room is warm, you can use a diaper or a soft, large, light towel. At cool temperatures, a bike or light padding blanket is suitable for the baby.
Step 7
Place the music mobile above the baby's bed. Toys that move smoothly to the music will soothe your little one or help them distract if you leave the room. Attach a toy on a clothespin to the side of the bed. While awake, the baby will be able to examine her and try to reach her. Attach hanging rattles in front of the baby to stimulate the baby's movements. They should be positioned so that the baby, if desired, can reach them with his hands.
