Safety
A crib that is bedside is an innovative crib which connects seamlessly with the parents' beds to provide them a convenient way to take care of their infant during the night. The crib lets parents easily reach their infant so that they can comfort or feed them while they are in their bed. This is particularly beneficial for new mothers who may be suffering from sleep deprivation in the early months. It promotes healthy growth for the baby by creating a safe and comfortable environment.
A high-quality bedside crib to cot crib will have a strong connection and an anti-slip design on the foot of the bed. This helps reduce the chance of accidents that may harm your baby. These cribs will also meet safety standards such as BS EN 1130, which ensures that your baby is secure and protected when they sleep. It is also important to ensure that the mattress you get with your crib is firm rather than soft, and also look for any gaps that could increase your child's risk of suffocation or entrapment.
Also, you should be wary of using duvets, pillows or baby bumpers in your baby's crib unless they're designed specifically for use in conjunction with a cot or a crib, as they can pose an immediate danger and not meet safety standards. Also, make sure that any toys your baby utilizes in the crib are securely attached and doesn't extend out too far.
Ask other parents for their advice when you're not sure about a piece of equipment. Also, search for items that are brand new and meet the current safety standards instead of those that were passed down or used. If you're going to buy an older crib, make sure you make sure you check it for damage and make sure all the components are present before purchasing it.
