Safety A bedside crib (also known as a baby bassinet or co-sleeper) allows your infant to sleep close to you at night, but in their own crib, thereby keeping them safe from the risk of overheating and SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). It is essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines regarding weight limits and that the mattress of your child fits comfortably. If there are gaps this could increase the chance of entrapment, which is another danger. It is also essential to clear the crib of any items that could pose an entrapment risk, such as pillows, blankets and toys. Look for a crib that has an open side panel that which your child can see through, as well as a firm air-conditioned, flat, and comfortable mattress. The slats must be no wider than 2 3/8 inch apart and the headboard should not be higher than the footboard. This will prevent your child from climbing out of the crib. Many models also feature an integrated changing table, shelves for storing diapers and wipes, rockers, music and night lights. These are wonderful features to have, but remember that your baby must remain in their own crib until they're able to stand or sit, around six months, when they'll be able to safely sleep elsewhere. It is also advisable to select a crib with no corner posts. They could pose a risk for your baby as they create spaces where their head and limbs might be caught. If you have a crib with these, you should consider taking them out to avoid your child becoming entangled in their clothing or toys. Also, be sure to keep the crib free of window blind and drape cords, as your baby could get caught in them and fall off or get strangled. If you're using a second-hand cot, make sure it's still safe to use. It should not have rough surfaces or holes, or peeling paint and should be solid and well-maintained with no loose components. It's also important to ensure that the cot has been taken down and repainted. the cots manufactured prior to 1973 may have paint that has leaded on them, which can be harmful to babies.
