Therefore, let’s take a look at the tips for choosing the right baby cot below :
Materials
The material used to make baby cot is very important to determine whether the baby crib is safe or not for babies. In addition to the basic material (wood, plastic, or other), also make sure that the bolts, screws, and nails are securely attached. In addition to ensuring that the baby’s cot is sturdy enough, it is also to ensure that there are no sharp materials that stick out and harm the baby. The paint used must also be considered. Consider more than just color. Make sure the baby bed does not use toxic paint. Cots with chipped paint, even lead-free ones, should be avoided or re-polished.
Distance between bed fence posts
For the safety of the baby, the baby’s bed is usually limited by some kind of wooden or plastic poles that are spaced to prevent the baby from falling. Choose a bed with a gap of less than 6 cm to prevent the baby’s head from snagging and slipping between the posts. The wood in the crib for this one must be free from cracks. All parts of the crib must also be very sturdy with tight joints.
Mattress compatibility with baby cot
When you buy a baby cot, you don’t necessarily get it in a package with a mattress. Therefore, when choosing a mattress, choose one that is specifically designed for babies and the size is according to the purchased baby crib so that there is no gap between the mattress and the baby crib. Special baby mattresses are designed to be sturdy or hard to prevent SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome), and can support the baby’s spine. Instead of following the firmness level on the mattress label, You can test it yourself at home, before it’s ready for your little one to use. If you press hard, the mattress should stay firm and regain its shape quickly.
Selection of baby bedding
As a complement, You will cover the mattress with sheets, complete it with a blanket and maybe a pillow and a cute doll in it. In addition to bed sheets, actually these items should be avoided to prevent SIDS. The soft textured item risks covering your little one’s face and making it difficult to breathe.
Durability and long term use
If you are currently pregnant with your second child, of course will think that the Eldest’s bed can be used again for the little brother/sister. If the old bed is still good and sturdy, there are no dangerous gaps and fences, of course, it’s okay to use the baby bassinet again. However, if the baby cot is no longer suitable for use, don’t force it. Therefore, make sure it is still in good condition and suitable for use.
