Cot with bars. This is probably the most frequent choice of the parents to sleep the baby. But not the only possible. Handy if the bottom of a crib can be placed in different positions. While the child is still very small, the mattress can be lifted up so it was comfortable to put baby. When he grows up and begins to stand on all fours, the mattress should be lowered to the bottom of the crib that the child fell through the edge. The mattress needs to be clear on the size of the crib. There must be no gaps between the bars and sleeping baby.
The very bed should be durable and sustainable. Some models feature a pendulum: you can rock the baby in my arms and in the crib. But you must check that the cot is not swayed too much and could not roll over on its side.
If cot has the function of lowering the side walls it is always good to check whether the closed mechanism. Quite often the story when a mother will not clip the rising side of the crib and the baby falls, leaning on it.

Some parents buy soft bumpers on the crib. It looks nice, protects the baby – he can't stick his arm or leg between the bars. But such boards have a number of disadvantages. They restrict the air flow into the crib. In addition, they can be dangerous for the baby: the laces they attached to the bars of the crib; filling of bumpers in the event of rupture of the joint – can be dangerous. If such edges are stitched with cloth, it was very uncomfortable to lay something in the crib, and in the event of a leak you have to completely remove the entire structure. So first evaluate how the bumpers in the crib you need. Often they are expensive, but in practice parents quickly take them out.

Another option bed baby cradle. It will last much less than a bed with bars about six months. But takes up far less space. Often the cradle is equipped with a mechanism for motion sickness and wheels in order to easily move around the room. The cost of the cradles varies greatly, but you can find very inexpensive. Cribs are usually more expensive. The design of the crib manufacturers often build mobiles with music and toys, as well as an automatic mechanism for rocking the baby.

Another option to organize baby sleep – co-sleep with their parents. This trend is very popular lately. Sometimes it really is easier to put the baby next to him in the parental bed that allows you to breastfeed without getting up at night. In this case, you should have a large enough bed that is room enough for all: mom, dad and baby. Also you have to prevent the falling baby from the edge of the bed. To do this, it is easier to push the bed against the wall and put the baby between her and him. The bed should not have armrests or other structures in which between the wall and the sleeping place will be the cracks. As with any sleeping place of a small child, it is not necessary to push the bed close to the battery.

Possible intermediate solutions: you shoot one side wall of the crib with the bars and pull her close to his bed; or can purchase a crib that can be attached to the parent. So you will sleep with the baby close, with no barriers between you, but the baby will not take a seat on the parent's bed.Possible intermediate solutions: you shoot one side wall of the crib with the bars and pull her close to his bed; or can purchase a crib that can be attached to the parent.
