Choosing Cribs Beds For Your Baby
Sleep is a vital part of your baby’s life. A crib helps them establish the habit of sleeping independently, and it also keeps you and your baby safe at night.
There are many different types of cribs, all with varying dimensions styles, designs, and mattress support heights. We searched for cribs that are secure, simple to use, and in line with the latest design trends.
Size
A crib is a bed that is designed for babies and infants. There are a variety of cribs available, but they are all smaller than a toddler bed and offer an ideal place for your child to sleep. Some cribs are equipped with wheels that allow them to be moved from room-to-room, and most are designed to minimize the chance of SIDS by providing a safe and comfortable environment similar to the birthing womb.
While many parents would like their children to stay in their cribs for as long as they can, some will be prepared to transition to a toddler bed faster than others. The most common crib is the standard crib. It is suitable by your child from birth up until they are 18 months old, or can be removed.
There are also bassinets, that can be used from birth to four months, or until the baby becomes too large for it. These are smaller and smaller than cribs, but they can offer the comfort and closeness to parents that some infants need in the early years. They are also more mobile which makes them a desirable alternative if you're not sure about the kind of bedding you'd like for your child.
Both cribs and bassinets have safety guidelines that must be adhered to in order to protect your child. There should not be a gap greater than two fingers between the crib's frame and mattress and the slats must not be missing or loose. The bed shouldn't have any cutouts on the footboard or headboard because this could trap the child's head or legs and increase the risk of the child to suffocate.
Cribs can be purchased in a variety of designs and finishes, and some even come with changing tables or shelving units. If you plan to breastfeed, these cribs could be very convenient as you can feed your baby in the crib. If you're limited in space and have a an extremely limited budget, you can find cribs that just feature the basic necessities.
If you have a little more money, you can find cribs that will develop with your child into toddler beds and even daybeds and sofas. These are typically referred to as 4-in-1 cribs. They can be an ideal option for parents who don't need to buy a new crib every time their child outgrows the crib they currently have.
Style
When you are looking for a crib, think about the design of the crib in relation to the nursery of your baby. If the design of your home reflects an inclination like modern or rustic then you might want to choose one that matches the overall theme. There are a variety of cribs available in natural wood or bright finishes, and with an array of distinctive shapes and styles.
Cribs have a long-standing tradition of providing safe sleeping spaces for babies. At first, they were just cribs that could be rocked. As understanding of child safety increased, stationary cribs became the standard, and designs shifted to provide better protection against accidents or entrapment. Today's cribs include features like sturdy construction, appropriate spacing of slats and non-toxic materials that are all geared towards your baby's safety and wellbeing.
You'll also find cribs that incorporate with a changing table or shelving unit to make it easier for parents in the early stages of infanthood. However, it's not recommended that you use this kind of crib when your baby is ready to stand or climb as it can make it easier for them to get out.
Some cribs have adjustable mattress support heights so you can lower the mattress as your baby grows. The higher position is ideal for babies, and the lower one should be used before your baby begins to sit or roll in bed, which typically happens before they are a year old.
The mattress can be placed on a single-piece board or grid of wood slats, or spring-wire frame. Both What to Expect and Baby Bargains recommend using a metal spring base, since it is considered to be more durable than wooden slats which can be prone to breaking or becoming loose over time. The base should be tight and firm to stop excessive air from moving around the mattress. This could cause a suffocation hazard for infants.
If you're looking to keep your baby in a crib as long as you can, then look into a crib that can be converted into a daybed, toddler bed and eventually a full-size bed. These cribs generally feature rails that can be removed to make the transition from a regular bed easier, and they often have adjustable mattress heights.
Safety
Whatever design or style you pick regardless of the style or design you choose, it's important to search for cribs that meet strict safety standards. In the United States this includes certifications from the Consumer Product Safety Commission and conformity with ASTM International Standards. These certifications can be found on the packaging of the crib or in the description. In addition, inspect the crib's frame for defects in the wood or paint that could pose a risk to your child.
If you're planning to purchase a new mattress for your baby's crib, go for the firmest one you can find. This will reduce the risk of accidental suffocation, which is the most common cause of sudden infant death syndrome. Make sure the mattress is able to fit snugly within the crib. A mattress that is either too large or too small can be hazardous for your baby as they could be trapped between the mattress' sides and the headboard or the crib's sides.
Certain reports of nonfatal accidents that include 21 fatalities identified in the NPR and two additional reported fatalities received during the NPR update, are based on the crib mattress that was too soft. These incidents involve a variety of hazards, such as gaps between the crib mattress and the sides, or between the footboard and head, that can cause entrapment. Infants can also roll onto the mattress or get wedged between it and the headboard or the wall.
Certain manufacturers are now advertising "breathable" crib mattress, which they claim will help your baby sleep more safely and prevent rebreathing or breathing in carbon dioxide from your baby's body. This is believed to contribute to SIDS. There is no evidence from an epidemiological study that breathable crib mattresses reduce the risk for SIDS.
Conversion
When you add the addition of a new child to your family, you will likely need to purchase lots of new items. This includes everything from clothing and toys to nursery furniture. Making the investment in cribs that convert to toddler beds or full-size beds can aid in saving money on furniture purchases and make the transition from baby to adolescence easier for your child as well as your family. These conversion kits are available for a variety of brands of cribs and typically include a headboard and a footboard. Some models are GREENGUARD Gold Certified that means they have very low chemical emissions, resulting in a healthier indoor environment.
Whether you opt for convertible cribs or a standard crib it is important to buy the correct mattress to ensure your child is comfortable night's sleep. You can pick from foam mattress, innerspring or gel in different sizes to suit your needs. For safety, choose an innerspring mattress that is at least 2 and 3/8 inches thick, or an innerspring mattress that satisfies the safety standards of the federal government for cribs and toddler beds.
You'll need to purchase a full-size bed conversion or a toddler bed when your child is ready for an additional bed. You should do this before your child turns two to ensure the smooth transition and ensure that your child is comfortable. Once you have your mattress and crib kit in place it will take less than 30 minutes to transform the crib into an adult size bed.
Certain things can make the transition to a toddler bed more relaxing for your child, including keeping the bedroom decor and bedding uniform and moving the toddler bed into the same room as their crib. Give your child a variety of stuffed animals or other toys to sleep with, and urging them to go to bed on a regular time can help them adjust.
A crib that can be converted into a full-size bed is a great way to extend the lifespan of your investment and also provide a bed for your child through their teens. The conversion kits that are available for these cribs come in a variety of designs to complement your other furniture pieces and are suitable for various types of mattresses, including twin and full size.
