Baby is always there - extra beds for newborns

If the baby sleeps alone in a separate bed, this can create a lot of inconvenience to the young mother, she has to get up many times at night to feed or lull the baby. It is almost impossible to fully relax in such conditions. In order to somehow compensate for the lack of sleep, a young mother often decides to sleep with her baby, but this option is fraught with unpleasant consequences: there is an alienation between parents, since dad has to go to another room for the night, and the baby who is used to sleeping near his mother falls asleep very hard in a separate bed. But there is, of course, a way out. Modern manufacturers of cribs offer special cots for babies to help solve the problem of joint sleep between baby and mother.

Extra bed and its advantages

The extra bed, which first appeared in America, was invented for young mothers who find it hard to get up at night. But over time, such a convenient invention has become quite widespread not only among American citizens, but also in European states. So what are the benefits of these cribs?

The fundamental difference between such models of cots from standard ones is the absence of one wall. Previously, an ordinary children's bed was assigned to the parent's bed and the sidewall was removed from it. The legs were adjusted to the desired height, invented fasteners. It was all quite complicated and uncomfortable. Modern cots are much more compact, they will not take up much space. Original durable mounts allow you to reliably connect the product to the parent bed. The baby in such a small bed will be cozy and comfortable. There are other positive aspects that an extra bed gives:

1. Mom is always next to the baby. The baby feels this and sleeps much calmer.
2. Feeding a newborn at night is easy, it can be done without getting out of bed.
3. To reassure a child who suddenly wakes up, you also do not need to get up. It is enough to reach out to him and slightly lull him, stroking the back.
4. When the baby is next to her mother, she constantly hears his breathing, so you can avoid problems associated with apnea syndrome - a sudden complete stop of breathing in infants.
5. Another plus can be considered a joint dream of parents. The baby is next to his mother, but at the same time there is no danger of accidentally crushing the baby during sleep.
6. Subsequently, the child is easier to teach to fall asleep on their own (read also: we teach a child to sleep in his crib separately from his mother (video, real stories)).

Due to such a number of advantages, more and more parents decide to purchase a comfortable and cozy bed for the baby to sleep.However, among the huge variety of similar products offered by modern manufacturers, it is very easy to choose low-quality goods.

What to look for when choosing an extra bed?

Every mother believes that her baby deserves the best, so choosing a bed is quite a challenge. First of all, an extra bed should be:

• comfortable;
• environmentally friendly;
• safe
• functional.

Material

Often parents, choosing this piece of furniture, turn their eyes to neat little beds with soft sides upholstered in fabric. It is quite convenient. Soft pastel colors, in which children's furniture is usually performed, help the baby calm down and fall asleep faster.

The material from which the sleeping place of the baby is made should be easy to clean. For the manufacture of cots, manufacturers most often use wood. It is an environmentally friendly and safe raw material that does not contain any harmful chemical compounds. It is easy to clear a wooden product of dust and dirt. By the way, in medical institutions only metal beds are installed. This is precisely due to the possibility of easy cleaning and disinfection.

Useful advice! It is best to choose a crib made of oak, birch or pine. For such wood, harmless impregnations are used that can not adversely affect the baby's health.

Forms and advanced features

In stores with a wide range of cribs, you can find attached models of various shapes. Be sure to pay attention to the absence of sharp protrusions and corners. If any, then the baby can easily get hurt or injured. All existing fasteners must be securely hidden and well twisted.

It is also worth paying attention to what gap the manufacturer left between the rods. It should not exceed 70-80 mm. In this case, the crumb head does not fit in this gap, so you should not worry that it will fall out or get stuck.

Also, some manufacturers offer soft side mattresses as a kit for a children's bedroom place. By tying them to the bars of the crib from the inside, you can protect the baby from accidental injury. Quite convenient models with additional fabric curtains, zippered. If the mother is afraid to accidentally hurt the baby during sleep, this option is the best crib.

Reviews

Oksana, 28 years old

For our baby we purchased an extra bed from Roba. She has been serving us for more than a year and a half. This model is a transformer. It can be used as an extension and as usual. A huge plus, that came with an additional fabric curtain with zipper. Even with the side wall removed, the crumb could easily be protected from falling if the crib was set aside, as well as quickly gain access to the baby by unzipping the zipper.

Vitaliy, 30 years old

We received a unique Sleep Well cot as a gift for the birth of crumbs. All I can say: convenient, practical, not very expensive. I recommend it to everyone who wants to be closer with their baby.

Elena, 23 years old

After a month of torment, now I feel like a real mom. Mozhga’s crib saved me. The kid was restless, moody, and had to rock him in his arms all night. I was very afraid to take to my bed. Now there is no problem. The baby sleeps next to me, and I'm not afraid to accidentally crush it.

Sofia, 35 years old

A wooden Miracle bed came up to us. There was not enough space in the room, so there was no talk of a large crib, and I did not want to move the baby into a separate room. Now the daughter sleeps all the time next to me. Feeding has become much easier, you do not need to get out of bed every time, and the baby, feeling her mother side by side, sleeps much more calmly.

Vlad, 31 years old

We also had a crib. Now the son has grown up, and we made a table out of her. And when guests arrive, it easily turns into a small sofa, for this you just need to lower the bottom and put small pillows.

You can read reviews, find out prices, choose and buy a crib (and accessories) in online stores.
