The oldest piece of furniture for babies can bename the cradle. It is intended only for the smallest. As soon as the little person learns to roll over and tries to sit up, it will be time for a crib, because leaving him in the cradle will become dangerous. The whole family is in joyful anticipation: very soon another, the smallest, but the most important member of the family will be born. And do not listen to those who assure that you should not buy things for your baby before his birth. When the baby is born, he will need all your time and care, and it is better to take care of his "dowry" in advance. Buy for a baby crib

The most important thing for such a baby:gentle hands of mother, and a cozy crib. And let a separate room furnished with special children's furniture wait until he grows up a little. Let's talk about the crib. There are three types of children's cribs: classic cribs, playpens and cradles (cradles). The cradle came into our lives from ancient times. Even our great-great-great-grandmothers hung a basket with a baby from the ceiling to be able to rock him without interrupting their housework. Modern cradles are usually made in the form of wicker baskets on a stand or wooden baskets, on special runners equipped with a rocking mechanism. The small size of the cradle gives the baby a feeling of security and comfort, like in the mother's belly. Modern cradles are compact and mobile and this will allow you to move it around the house without parting with your baby for a second. But do not forget that such models are designed only for newborn babies. Literally after a few months, when your baby begins to roll over on his own and tries to sit up, leaving him in the cradle will no longer be possible. And it will be the turn of the crib. A baby crib will serve your baby up to three years. Modern cribs are produced on runners, on legs, or on wheels. Some models include all these elements and you have the ability to change them at your discretion. Most models provide for adjustable height of the bottom of the crib. The sides and backs of the bed are either made of slats or solid. If they are made of slats, remember that the distance between the rods should not be more than 2.5-6 centimeters, otherwise the child may get injured by sticking out an arm or leg. Cribs with rods are more practical than with solid walls. The child does not feel lonely, watching what is happening in the room, learns to stand up independently, holding on to the slats. When the baby grows up, the bars can be removed or sawed off. Then the child will be able to get out of the crib and climb back without the risk of falling, without climbing over the top. A model with solid walls and sides is less comfortable: the child has nothing to grab onto, he does not see what is happening in the room, and air access is difficult.
