During pregnancy, every mother is worried about how to choose the right bed for her baby. The choice of a crib is a very important and crucial moment for parents, because proper sleep is necessary for the development and growth of children. Therefore, moms and dads need to approach the situation with the utmost seriousness and care. After all, the crib should give the baby a sense of security and peace.
Instructions
Step 1
When choosing a baby cot, pay attention to its safety. It should be made from environmentally friendly material (wood).
Step 2
The legs should be about 80 centimeters high. The bed should not be too narrow, as children are spinning in their sleep. Therefore, its diameter should be at least 60-65 cm. The bottom of the crib should be even and flat.
Step 3
The most convenient to use are two- and three-level beds. The first level is for babies. The second is for children who can sit, and the third is for when the baby is standing. Only bunk beds can be used. The child lies in them, and when the bottom of the crib starts to sit, it goes down, bypassing the middle level.
Step 4
When choosing a crib, pay attention to its convenience both for the baby and for you. At the same time, keep in mind that the baby will sleep in it up to 3 years. It is best to use a crib with castors - it can be easily moved while cleaning.
Step 5
For convenience, you can buy a crib on wheels, which is also a rocking chair. To do this, so that you can rock your child, you just need to take them off. And to prevent the baby from hitting his head on its walls, use a bumper (crib cover) or a rolled blanket. If you decide to use the latter, then wrap the blanket with a sheet and put it around the mattress.
Step 6
An important component of a baby bed is a mattress. You can buy a crib complete with it or separately. But in both cases, choose a mattress from grass, hay, cotton wool or foam rubber.
Step 7
If you are a supporter of Feng Shui, then the requirements for the crib will be completely different. It should not be on casters, as they symbolize instability. A child in such a crib will grow up nervous and restless. It should have a solid back. Semicircular and rectangular backs are favorable. And unfavorable - wavy, lattice, triangular, copper and from rods.
