Safety

The choice of the best rated cribs crib for newborns is crucial for your Baby beds's health and wellbeing. It is important to ensure that the crib conforms to current safety standards and is free from dangers that could cause harm to your baby as they sleep. It should be constructed well and strong, with no loose pieces that could catch on clothing or pose a choking risk. It is essential to follow the instructions of the manufacturer for assembly and use, and to inspect the crib on a regular basis.

Be sure to measure the distance between the slats. It should be no more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart to prevent your baby's head or legs from getting caught between them. You should also be able to easily see and reach your baby's crib. If you aren't reach your baby, the slats may be too close together and need to be a bit wider.

The mattress support system is another aspect to take into consideration when selecting the crib. It should be adjustable so that you can lower the crib mattress as your child grows. This will decrease the chance that your baby will fall out of the crib when they begin to crawl.

Other security features to look out for include a fitted sheet that fits the mattress securely, and solid and stable construction. It is also recommended to choose a crib that has fixed sides rather than one with drop sides which can be hazardous for your baby. It's also better to share a room as your baby for the first six months or so, and then transfer them to their own bedroom when they are old enough to be monitored when they are sleeping on their own.

The last thing to do is make sure the crib is kept away from radiators and windows and that any hanging objects such as blind cords or curtains are not in reach. Also, you should remove any objects that could pose danger to your child's health like blankets or pillows. Be careful when purchasing used cribs as they may not meet the current safety standards or have been recalls.
