Do you need a crib
First of all, I’m going to solve the problem of whether to buy a crib or not for those struggling mothers. My answer is definitely yes! Do buy it!
- Adults are easy to press the baby
Even if the mother is very careful, sleep is very light, but does not mean that fathers are also careful, ah, work a day is not easy to fall asleep, sleep when you really may not remember there is a super weak baby.
2. The quilt covers the child easily
Especially in winter, two big quilts, the children in the middle of sleep, small baby is really even a small part of a quilt can not bear.
3. Let your baby develop good habits
The baby has been sleeping on his own since childhood, which is really important for mom and dad. The cultivation from childhood can make the child more independent in the future.
How to choose
1. Choose materials
Safety should always come first and cribs must meet strict safety standards. The 3C standard in China, ASTM F1169 in the United States, BS EN 716 in Europe, AS/NZS 2172 in Australia and New Zealand, where the 3C standard is the lowest, other standards are very high, suitable for infants. The material of crib is real wood mostly, when choose and buy imports pine wood with New Zealand, Germany imports beech wood, bamboo is more ideal. The baby will have a long time love to bite, material environmental protection, for the baby is very important. Crib with log instinctive quality is best, but also not cannot use lacquer, safe environmental protection is borne lacquer can add colour for crib, give the baby more intuitional vision training.
2. Choose size
If the crib is too small, use a year or so will be obsolete, seems a bit wasteful. But if it’s too big, it doesn’t provide security for the baby. So the maximum is 150cm inside. Consider also whether the family type that suits a home and position. Whether can be joined together with adult bed: small baby is just born, establish safe feeling, with mother to sleep together can help him (she) at ease go familiar with new world, when joining together of crib and adult bed should notice to do not have space between, if there is some difference of height, make up with bedding.
3. Choose the fence
The height of fence is advisable with taller than mattess commonly 50 centimeters. If it is too high, it is difficult for parents to lift or lower the baby. So, can choose the crib that the fence can be put down whole, so when carrying a child or changing a child’s diaper need not often bend down to carry the baby, also won’t cause backache. Choose a cylindrical fence with a distance of no more than 6cm (the new standard number) to prevent the baby from sticking his head out of the middle.
4. Choose a mattress
The parent of older generation advocates to sleep hard bed, feel to the back very good, but actually for the baby, the mattress that sleep hard can cause skeleton to grow bad instead, should choose the mattress of medium soft degree so, most baby beds are complete set now, also need not worry about this problem so. Traditional cotton bedding is a good choice. When the mattress is adjusted to its highest position, it should be at least 25 centimeters away from the bed rim. The mattress should be tightly closed with the bedstead to prevent the baby probe into.
5. Select functions
Crib with clapboard layer will be more convenient, baby toys, diapers, laundry, need to be placed in the crib under the clapboard handy. Some cribs are fitted with little wheels that can be pushed around freely. This kind of small bed, must pay attention to whether it is installed with brake device, the small bed that has brake device just is safe, at the same time brake device should be more firm, prevent a touch loose. Still have small bed to be able to rock, have the effect of cradle, this kind of bed also must pay attention to the connection of its each place is close and reliable. There is also versatility, which provides usage rates for the baby as it grows older.
