Safety

Bedside cribs take the form of a bassinet which is attached to your bed. You can then raise your baby towards you in the evening for comfort or feeding. They are great for mothers who are recovering from a c-section, but you can also use them as a separate sleep space. The best ones come with high mesh sides that feel strong and safe, though some home testers had difficulty trying to get their babies onto the rails. You should choose cribs that have been tested according to the new safety standard (BS EN1130:2019) that will be introduced in 2020. This means you'll know your baby is sleeping in a safe and secure crib. You can also choose a model that has a manual rocking feature or one that is tilted to aid in reflux.

Maintenance

If you have a second-hand crib or you're an avid clean-serious person, there are a few steps to take to keep your baby's crib clean and safe. First, take all bedding - sheets, blankets, toys and lovies from the cot and clean them according to the manufacturer's instructions. Then, vacuum the frame and slats, paying particular attention to the corners and crevices. It is possible to disassemble the cot to access the narrow spaces.

After you have removed all bedding after removing all bedding, use a solution made of warm soapy water and mild detergent to clean the slats of the cot. Be sure to use a cloth that's soft, so that it doesn't cause damage to the wood. After cleaning the surface, wash it off with clean water and wipe it over again to get rid of any soapy remnants. Afterwards, allow the cot to dry completely before putting it back together.

Moisture can be your bed's silent enemy. It can cause warping, bending, and cracking. To prevent this, place drinks on coasters. Also, avoid placing potted plant directly on the bed. Also, regularly check and lubricate your hardware to ensure smooth operation and prevent creaking.

Cleaning excessively can cause harm to your baby. Research has proven that your baby's early exposure to normal environment-related organisms can help them develop their immune system. This is why it's important to find a balance in frequent cleaning and periodic disinfection.
