security reasons Safety Selecting the best crib for your newborn is crucial to your babys health and wellbeing It is important to ensure that the crib conforms to current safety standards and is free of hazards that may cause harm to your child during their sleep It should be constructed well and sturdy without loose pieces that may catch on clothing or pose a choking risk It is also crucial to follow the manufacturers guidelines for assembly and use and check the crib regularly for signs of wear or damage Be sure to measure the distance between the slats It should not be more than 2 and 38 inches apart to prevent your babys head or limbs from getting caught between them You should also be able to easily reach and observe your baby in the crib If you arent reach your baby the slats must be wider and not so close together Another aspect of the crib to consider is the mattress support system It should be adjustable to different heights so that you can lower the mattress as your baby grows This will decrease the risk of your baby climbing out of the crib as is a common situation as they begin to crawl A fitted sheet that is able to fit the bed securely and solid and sturdy construction are other security features you should look for It is also recommended to choose a crib with fixed sides instead of one with drop sides which could be hazardous for your baby Its also better to share a room with your baby for six months or so and only transfer them to their own bedroom when they are old enough to be watched when they are sleeping on their own Finally you should ensure that the crib is away from radiators and windows and that any hanging objects like curtains or blind cords are kept out of reach Also you should remove any items that might pose danger to your
