Cribs consume a lot of room, so bassinets might be a better choice in case your home is small. Many parents prefer a crib because of security concerns.

Safety

The health and wellbeing of your baby's infant is dependent on the crib you select. You should ensure that it is in line with current safety standards and is free of dangers that could harm your child during sleep. It should be strong and well-constructed, without loose parts that could get caught on clothing or present a choking hazard. It is also essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for assembly and use and regularly inspect the crib for signs of wear or damage.

The first thing to look at is the spacing between slats. It should not be more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart to keep your cheap baby cots's head or legs from getting caught between them. You must also be able to easily reach and observe your baby in the crib. If not, the slats should be broader and not as close to each other.

It's also better to sleep in the same room with your baby for the first six months or so, and only move them into their own bedroom when they are old enough to be watched when they are sleeping on their own.

Last but not least, make sure the crib is kept away from radiators and windows and that dangling items like curtains or blind cords are kept out of reach. Also, you should remove anything that could create a choking risk such as blankets or pillows. Be cautious of buying second-hand cribs, since they may not meet the current safety standards or been recalled for other reasons.

Design
