The Ideal Crib for Your Infant

Author: KatiesWorld, 05 21st, 2009

When it comes to choosing the right crib, it’s about more than size and cost, it’s also about protecting infants.  It’s important that cribs don’t have sharp edges that could be a danger to a small child, and it’s also important that cribs don’t have any areas where an infants hand or foot could become caught.  The best cribs tend to be round cribs, as these don’t have sharp edges.  It’s also important that a crib be assembled in the proper manner (if assembly is required).  Even if just installing a canopy to an existing crib, make sure all the correct bolts are tightened and in place, and that there’s nothing on the crib that could be of potential danger to the infant. 

When choosing crib bedding, make sure to pick the right size for the crib, as bedding that is too small or large can expose the hard bottom of the crib which can be a danger to infants.  Crib bedding should have soft padding, and be snug inside the crib.  It’s a good idea to have extra blankets in the crib, as well as softer toys like stuffed animals with which the child can interact.  With soft, warm, and cuddly crib bedding, parents shouldn’t be surprised if their infant sleeps longer!
