Baby cradles

A bed with a cradle function has a calming effect on your baby. In addition to the classic baby cradle, you can also choose special models suitable, for example, for travel.
Baby cradle with full equipment
The classic baby bassinet is often offered as a set consisting of a bed frame, mattress and canopy frame. A duvet is often included in the package, sometimes even along with the bed linen. Various elements are also available separately. If you choose a special spring bassinet for your baby, remember that it usually requires a fixed suspension from the ceiling. This cradle moves smoothly in all directions. However, some models have their own frame that holds the floating bed in place.
The main pros and cons of a baby cradle
The baby's cradle has a history that goes back to the distant past. Parents have always known how to calm their babies by rocking them to sleep. Today, scientific research shows that small children are lulled to sleep by gentle movement. Relatively small cradles especially give babies the feeling that they are still in the womb. That's why a baby hammock or baby bassinet doesn't have to be particularly large. The rocking function plays a major role in cradles. Unlike a drop-side bed, this kind of bassinet usually cannot be used as an extra bed.
What stage is the baby bassinet suitable for?
Typically, cribs are used in the first six months. When the baby no longer has enough space, it’s time to move to the crib. Depending on how your baby reacts to this change, you can acclimate him to his new bed within a few days or over a longer period of time. This will work best if you only put your baby in the bassinet during the day and in the bed at night. It is important that your children do not bump into the frame; such painful incidents can be avoided by using padding on the sides.
What to look for when choosing a baby cradle?
A classic baby cradle or a spring cradle for a baby should be stable and eliminate all risks of accidents. The mattress should fit perfectly and the slats should be at the correct distance from each other. If you often move the bassinet, it makes sense to buy a model with wheels. Baby cradles with a canopy are especially beautiful. To do this you will need a matching sky pillar and perhaps a few decorative elements. However, the child should not reach for the palate hinges, as this always carries a risk of injury.
Various materials of baby cradles
Most models are made of wood and wicker. A fabric canopy and a cozy nest will provide your child with a comfortable place to stay. Almost all models have wheels, so the cradle can be moved from one room to another. This way, the child will always be with you. Of course, the baby bassinet has appropriate locks to ensure a secure stand. The wheels are also silent and protect your floor. The textiles are washable and can be removed if desired. Of course, there are no sharp corners here. This way, your baby won't get hurt if he kicks vigorously.
Conclusion
Baby cribs offer many benefits such as safety, soothing rocking and space saving. However, parents need to consider the limited use time and potential safety issues. When deciding for or against a crib, consider individual needs, living space and budget!
