Safety

A crib that is bedside is a unique crib that connects seamlessly with the parents’ beds to provide parents with a convenient method to take care of their infant during the night. This crib allows parents to easily reach their infant so that they can soothe or feed them without having to leave bed. This is particularly beneficial for new mothers who may be suffering from sleep deprivation during the early months. It also helps to promote the development of a healthy baby by providing a secure and comfortable environment for sleeping.

A high-quality bedside crib will have a strong connection and an anti-slip design on the foot of the bed. This helps to reduce the chance of accidents that could harm your baby. The cribs also have safety standards like BS EN 1130, which assures your baby is secure and protected while they sleep. Also, make sure the mattress you get with your crib is firm, not soft, and look for any gaps that could increase your child’s danger of suffocation or getting trapped.

You should also avoid using pillows, duvets, or baby bumpers in your baby’s crib unless they are designed specifically to be used with a crib or cot, as they can pose danger and not meet safety standards. It is also important to ensure that any toys or objects that your child plays with in the crib are securely secured, and that they aren’t too far out of the edges.

Ask other parents for their advice in case you are uncertain about certain pieces of equipment. Also, search for products that are new and have met current safety standards rather than ones that were passed down or used. Examine the crib for any damage prior to purchasing it.
