A baby bed for a newborn is one of the most essential things. And her choice must be taken seriously enough, tk. the child spends most of the time in it for the first months.
Instructions
Step 1
Some parents buy a "dowry" for a baby even before his birth, others believe in omens and acquire everything only after childbirth. In any case, the question of where to sleep for a newborn arises for everyone. And the choice of a baby bed is quite difficult, especially when it is the first child.
Step 2
The selection of cots is now huge. Special cradles for the little ones are gaining more and more popularity, some of them come with an electric swing mode, built-in melodies and hanging toys. The size of the sleeping bed is small and is designed for about a 6-8 month old baby. The advantage of these cradles is their compactness, as well as the fact that the child will feel more comfortable in them than on a large bed. It is also convenient to move them throughout the apartment, for example, when the mother needs to cook in the kitchen, the baby can sleep peacefully nearby. But these cradles are quite expensive, especially since they are used for a very short time. Alternatively, you can buy from someone else's hands.
Step 3
Another option for baby sleep is a playpen bed. This is a versatile model that can serve as a child and playground. They usually have several levels of bedding, and a removable changing board is also installed. The sides are made in the form of a fine mesh. Conveniently, this bed, if desired, can be easily folded, transported, i.e. great option for travel and travel. With constant use at home, there are disadvantages - not a hard surface for a newborn, too low from the floor, and therefore more opportunities for drafts.
Step 4
The most common option for babies to sleep is a regular crib. Currently, there are a lot of models, and manufacturers are constantly improving them. The dimensions of the berth in these beds are standard 60 x 120 cm. There are models in which the height of the sleeping bed and the side back are adjustable. The beds also differ in the way of motion sickness - there are removable runners, others do not swing at all. The pendulum mechanism, which, with light movement, continues to swing for some time, is becoming more and more popular, because it is quiet and smooth enough to rock the baby without much effort. There are longitudinal and transverse pendulums, which one is better - this is the individual choice of each, as well as the preference of the baby himself.
Step 5
Which bed to choose is up to you, it depends on what requirements you have for it. The main thing worth paying attention to is the naturalness of the materials, good ventilation (it is better when all the walls of the bed are slatted), as well as safety. Now you can find a transforming bed, where a chest of drawers with a changing table goes along with the bed, this chest of drawers can be removed and put separately in the future, and the bed can be used until school age. The presence of drawers at the bottom is a plus for some - as an opportunity for additional storage space, while others consider it a useless acquisition due to the large amount of dust.
