How to choose a crib?

Many pregnant mothers struggle with the crib when preparing for the birth, and don't know if it's necessary to buy. In fact, it is necessary to prepare a crib for your baby.
A reasonable amount of sleep for a newborn is between 16 and 20 hours per day, which means the baby is asleep for most of the day. In order to ensure this quality of sleep, we must provide a comfortable environment for baby to sleep.
More Interesting information from Kimibear.
If a child shares a bed with an adult, the adult is more likely to roll over on the baby at night. Adults are likely to cover the baby's head when tucking in, which is not good for the baby and may even hurt the baby.

If the baby is allowed to sleep with an adult, the carbon dioxide produced by the adult's breathing will be inhaled by the baby, affecting the normal breathing of the baby. Because newborns are very fragile.

Using a crib, giving a child a space to stand alone, cultivating their sense of independence from a young age, it's not cruel, it's scientific.
When the baby sleeps at night, we advocate "same room different bed". For example, parents can prepare a crib for their baby, which will not only help the baby establish good sleeping habits, but also give both parents and baby their own space.

But choosing and arranging a crib is a big deal, and there are a lot of tricks and details to be aware of. Once the neglect of a link, it is likely to affect the baby's health, and even endanger the safety of the baby's life, so the need for extreme caution.

Here's how to choose a crib for your baby:
What should I pay attention to when choosing a crib?
It mainly considers practicability, safety, comfort, convenience and so on.
1. Safety standard
Safety must always be a priority and cribs must meet strict safety standards.
Tips: Chinese 3C standard, American ASTM F1169, European BS EN 716, Australian New Zealand AS/NZS 2172.

2. Structure should be safe
1 the American academy of pediatrics (AAP) recommends no more than 2.375 inches of space between fences. The top of the fence shall be no less than 26 inches (66 cm) from the mattress. But before the baby has not learned to stand can be adjusted appropriately, convenient for parents to put the baby into the crib;
2 The gap between the fences should not exceed 6 cm. If it is too wide, the baby's small head and hands and feet are easy to get stuck in.
3 The mattress should be tightly combined with the bed frame (the distance between the two sides of the mattress and the two sides of the guardrail is within 2cm) to prevent the baby from getting stuck;
4 The crib enclosure should be non-removable. If it can be removed, please make sure that the enclosure is locked and well fixed to prevent accidental fall.

3. The appearance should be simple
The appearance of crib need not be decorated too, do not need too much especially sculpture or pendant, the corner that the sculpture of some head of a bed produces is easy to make darling get hurt.

4. Mattress thickness moderate
Infantile mattess should be designed into harder structure, because in the development process of the baby, too soft spring mattess is used prematurely, can cause children vertebra to be out of shape.
Currently, there are many inspection standards for baby mattresses, such AS New Zealand's AS/NZS 8811.1:2013.
Just choose and buy the crib that accords with national standard will be fine.
Note: do not put pillows, plush toys and other items that are too soft on the baby's bed.

Check out if your little one is getting the protein they need to grow strong and smart. So, is your kiddo eating enough protein? The short answer is: they probably are.
