Preparing for the birth of a long-awaited child, the family is trying to figure out how to choose the best and most useful for the baby. Since at first the newborn sleeps most of the day, young mothers are puzzled by the question: what kind of bed does the baby need. To decide, women read the reviews of experienced mothers, where you can see a purely personal opinion about what is good and what is bad.
The market for modern goods and services is so large that buyers are sometimes lost amid the abundance. Baby cots are divided into several types: a simple bed, with a transverse pendulum, with a longitudinal pendulum, a cradle, a transforming bed, a rocking chair. The most common models are pendulum beds and regular cribs. Each of them has a number of specific advantages.
Pendulum bed
For a woman carrying a baby under her heart, it will not be a discovery that a baby gets used to constant shaking and motion sickness in 9 months. He is able to relax and fall asleep in such an environment, while feeling peace and tranquility. Once born, using a pendulum bed will help the newborn easily adapt to a new sleeping place. Mild motion sickness will allow him to feel the same comfort of intrauterine life. When the baby grows up a little and learns to get up, the crib mechanism should be fixed to avoid injury.
Speaking about the disadvantages, it is worth noting, first of all, that the cost of such beds is much higher. In addition, many children, getting used to falling asleep during motion sickness, being at a more conscious age, simply cannot fall asleep on their own.
Often, the mother prefers to lay the baby next to her, as this leaves more time for sleep. For these mothers, there are new types of beds - with attachment to an adult bed.
Regular bed
Many of today's young parents grew up at a time when the only real thing to buy was an ordinary crib. The most important advantage is its stability and the overall strength of the frame. A child under 3 years old will be quite comfortable sleeping in such a bed. Another plus is the relatively low price available for low-income families. Using a regular bed, the newborn gets used to falling asleep on its own, which is extremely important for its development. Of course, at first it will be more difficult for the baby to adapt to the new world, but the swing, so familiar to him, will gradually fade into the background.
It is better not to buy a crib through online stores, as you must personally inspect your child's future sleeping place for any manufacturing defects.
Only mom, like no one else, knows what is best for her child. Whichever bed you choose, the main thing is that it is made of natural wood, well polished and not covered with a layer of varnish. Safety is above all, therefore, it is worth purchasing a crib after a thorough examination of it and familiarization with the documents certifying the quality of the product.
