Buy the baby's cradle by following these tips

If you have a baby in your home whose peaceful sleep is important to you, don't miss this article. Unlike most of the items listed in Sesameen's must-have list, buying baby bedding is one of the must-haves. For the first months, preparing a small crib or a bed next to the mother is considered the best option, and then when the baby is older, you can transfer him to the baby bed. According to the advice of doctors, it is a bit dangerous to put babies in bed before 2 or 3 years old; Because the baby does not have much movement power and may suffer from accidents such as sudden death syndrome. To buy a crib, you should consider some points that will of course be useful later for buying a bed. Since babies spend most of their time in the crib in the early months, in addition to beauty and comfort, you should also think about its safety. 

The characteristics of a cradle for baby:

Convertible Beds

If you want to think economically and buy something that can be used for several years, perhaps buying a baby-teenage bed is one of your priorities. These beds are made in such a way that when your baby is small, you can use it as a baby bed, and when it grows up, you can convert it into a bigger bed by separating the extra parts, which can be used until it is 8-9 years old. use But pay attention to a few points when buying: First, be careful in choosing. Choose a bed that will not get tired of its shape and image after a few years and its design is suitable for both baby and childhood years. Make sure the connections are tight and turn the bed from baby to teenager once so that if there is a problem, you can fix it right away. Check the distance between the fence posts. This distance should not be more than 5 to 10 cm so that the child's head does not pass through it. If this distance is inconsistent with the standards, the baby's head may get stuck between the bars and have an accident.

Cradle Measure

The first point in the field of crib safety is its size. The cradle should not be so big that the baby rolls or turns in it, nor so small that there is no room to move; Rather, its size should be such that the baby feels comfortable in it and has enough space to move his arms and legs. Additional shaking may cause the baby to not be able to return after rolling over and an accident will happen to him.

Coordination of the quilt and mattress

Some cribs are sold at exorbitant prices under the pretext of having a set of quilts and mattresses. It is better not to throw your money away; Because these beautiful sets are only decorative and your baby does not need pillows, quilts and mattresses until at least one year old, and even using these items can be dangerous for his health and cause sudden death syndrome or crib death. If you insist on buying these items, forget about using a pillow. For the mattress, it is better to choose a mattress that has a firm texture and a low height, and fits well in the bottom of the crib and does not leave extra space around it.
