After birth, your baby can have a crib, a bed, or both at two specific times, i.e. for the first few months, a crib and then a bed. In fact, you are the one who needs to check and plan before birth to see if you want the bed only for your child's infancy or if you intend for your child to use this bed for at least his entire childhood. This also applies to all baby items. Also, in the first month of the baby's birth, some parents prefer to sleep their baby close to them but in a separate bed or crib to make them more comfortable. Also remember that when buying baby bedding, you don't need to spend a lot of extra money and buy pillows and blankets, because your baby should sleep without pillows and blankets for at least six months after birth.
The size and size of the bed
The first thing you should pay attention to when buying a bed for your child is the size of the bed. Before buying a bed, it is better to see if you only need it for infancy or the first few months of birth, or if you want a bed that can be used throughout your child's childhood and perhaps adolescence. Economically, it is much better if you get a bigger bed for the child so that it can be used during the child's adolescence. Also, your child should have enough space on his bed to play and be active.
For example, a suitable bed does not need to be so big that it leads to the child constantly rolling over and not being able to return to its original position, nor is it so small and narrow that it takes away enough movement power from him. Also, because most apartment rooms today are small, parents may prefer to use smaller beds or cribs. But over time, when the child's weight increases or his height increases, it is better to change his bed.
Height adjustable
In the first months of birth, the child sleeps on his back without shaking or moving too much, and it is better to have a high bed and mattress to pick him up and put him down, but after a few months, the child starts to be active and play in his bed, which is better. The height of his bed is too low. Some of your baby's beds have height-adjustable slats that allow you to change the height of the mattress. This feature is for when your child becomes more active and can get up, stand or walk a few steps and get out of bed. But this is not necessarily a good feature, because if the bottom of the bed does not have the necessary quality and strength, the holding lever on the bottom of the bed may come off with the activities and jumping up and down of the child and cause injury to your child. Therefore, you should definitely ask the seller about the firmness and durability of the bed floor when buying and be sure.
Flat wheels
Some baby beds or cribs have wheels and you can move them around. Having wheels under the baby's bed is another thing that should be considered when buying baby bedding. This feature has both a positive and a negative point; Since it can be difficult to move the bed and crib a lot, having wheels makes it easier to move it, but on the other hand, having wheels can sometimes cause the bed or crib to slide back and forth with your baby's movements. For this reason, it is recommended that if you want your baby's crib or bed to have wheels, you should pay attention to the fact that the wheel has a lock when you buy it, so that when you move it, lock the wheels so that the bed does not move.
Flat sex
The best material for children's beds is natural wood. The use of MDF and other synthetic materials in baby bedding is often not a good feature, because in making beds with MDF or other synthetic materials, sometimes things are used that are harmful to children's health and can cause sensitivity and allergies in infants. So if you can, it is much better if you use beds made of all natural wood. But there are some baby bed sets made of MDF, which use very little harmful substances and are not a problem, so ask the seller about this too. Metal beds are also usually made of aluminum, nickel and brass, which usually have a long life, but you should be careful not to cause harm to the child.
The strength and quality of the bed building
The strength of the bed is also important. You can check the bed a little more when you buy it to make sure how stable it is. Ask the seller to give you a complete explanation about the strength of the bed, its connections and fasteners. For example, a wobbly bed is considered a problem, of course, provided that the floor of the store is level. Separate parts of the bed are also important. Some baby beds are also designed in such a way that with the passage of time and the growth of your baby, they will squirm and squeak with the slightest movement, so never forget that it is your right to ask questions from the seller.
Flat
The next priority is the guard or flat fences. A good baby bed should have a movable mesh guard instead of fences and bars to fully prevent injury to the baby. But if you chose a bed that was suitable in every way but had a fence instead of a net guard, it is necessary that the distance between each fence and the next fence is not more than 7 cm to prevent the child's head from getting stuck between them. Also, these guards should not be in such a way that the child uses them as a ladder and goes up and down from the bed. The locks and latches of the bed protection should not be sharp, but should have rounded edges.
Also, it is much, much better if the bed has railings on the top, left and right sides instead of side railings on all four sides, and the bottom of the bed is open so that the child can wake up instead of climbing the bed railings to get out of the bed. Get out of the bottom of the bed. This possibility will prevent the child from falling. But don't forget that this case is suitable for beds that have a very low and standard height and a long length of a normal teenage or adult bed, because a child rolling in a bed with a short length is at risk of falling off the bed. /p>
The more important point is that it is much better if the railings of the child's bed are not fixed and can be separated for years to come, but not in the form of rails and with side railings that open to the bottom and go up and down with the push of a button. Because these beds are very dangerous and if the fences suddenly come down due to the pressure of the child, there is a possibility of getting stuck and hurting the child. These movable fences should be able to be put in and taken out, and of course your child should not learn to do this, and also make sure that it is completely fixed every time your child is placed, for example, it can be locked. So try it when you buy the bed or when you receive it to make sure that the sides of the bed are easily and securely adjusted.
Flat hit
It is better in the baby's bed, and perhaps more specifically, bumpers should not be used, because these unnecessary devices increase the risk of suffocation and sudden infant death syndrome. But in the following months, from six months onwards, when your baby has the ability to move more, it may be possible to use some 100% safe bed bumpers so that the baby does not hit the bed rails when rolling and moving. Also, as the child grows older and has the ability to stand and get up, the upper edges of the bed can be covered with a tooth guard so that the child does not damage his gums and teeth by biting it.
Ability to stick to the parent's bed
As we know, sleeping a very small baby in the parent's bed is not a good thing and is dangerous for the child. For this reason, some parents prepare a crib for their child that opens from one side and can be attached to the sides or back of the mother's and father's bed, and actually attaches to the parents' bed. Also, these cribs are often small and can be moved around the house and room. In this way, in addition to the fact that the child is close to the parents in the first month or months, it will be easier to feed him at night. We just remind you that it is better for the crib to be without wheels or if it has wheels, the wheels should be completely lockable so that there is no problem for the child.
The mattress coordination with the bed
It is better to get the bed mattress at the same time as buying the bed so that it is the size of the bed you choose. You can also sew it yourself or put the baby in the baby's wearable blanket in his bed or crib. The minimum standard size of a baby mattress is 130 cm for length and 70 cm for width, and the thickness or diameter of the mattress is also between 7 and 15 cm. Also, you should make sure that the mattress inside your baby's bed has a cap, that is, there is no gap between the mattress and the walls or the baby's bed guard, so that your baby does not get hurt. As a principle; If there is a distance of more than two fingers between the mattress and the wall of the bed, it means that the mattress is too small for the bed.
Flat guarantee
Any type and model of bed that you buy for your child must have a valid guarantee or warranty to ensure that it has the necessary safety and will not cause trouble and harm to your child. Therefore, ask the seller about the warranty, the duration of this warranty and the conditions that this valuable piece of paper provides for you.
Easy installation
If the bed you buy is installed for you when you bring it, which is a good feature of some stores, you may not pay attention to how to install it, but this problem will cause you problems when you move furniture or change the place of the bed. It is at such a time that if the bed has a manual for installation, it will be of great help to you. Also, during installation, if you feel that your child's bed is too slippery and loosely installed, or there are parts of it still left in the box that you don't think it will do, and there is something that you are not sure about, maybe having a manual to help you fix the installation problem.
