Cot for newborns

Mom always tries to create maximum comfort and good conditions for her child. Developers of children's furniture know this and offer original options. Traditional cots are increasingly giving way to an alternative form - additional beds for newborns. What is it and why it is worth stopping the choice on them?

This idea came to us from the United States. Previously, there was a popular dream with a child separately. Now pediatricians have proven the opposite - sleep together is very important. Psychologists are advised to contact the baby as much as possible. The baby hears the mother's breath when she is nearby, feels the beating of her heart, which helps to avoid the apnea syndrome, which is a sudden stop of breathing. This is important for both the baby and the mother.

But over time, the parents begin to sleep together. In addition, the child is sometimes hard to teach to his bed.Such models of beds help to teach the child to independence, but at the same time they do not deprive him of the opportunity to be near his mother. At the same time, the mother can safely be close to the baby and not be afraid to pin down him in a dream.

In the disputes of “sleeping together” or “laying separately”, this original invention appeared. You might think that only lazy mothers can wish that. But it is not. After all, this invention is so convenient that it will be a help to any mother.

The main advantages of such beds:

• The baby sleeps nearby, at the same time in its own territory. You can sleep with your child, but this does not make the bed smaller, but even more so due to the console. So the sleep of the child and parents will be more relaxed.

• The child has his own zone, which is limited on all sides. You can not worry that the baby will fall in a dream.

• The father can not worry that he will touch the baby in a dream, and at the same time not “move” to sleep on the sofa, on the floor or in another room. Indeed, during this period, the preservation of the relationship between father and mother is more important than ever. Calm parents - calm children.

• Many kids wake up often at night and need to be rocked. This is not a problem with a cot, because it is enough just to reach out.

• This is very important for mothers who have undergone a cesarean section. Indeed, in this case it is very difficult not only to get up, but sometimes even just to sit. And with a crib, the problem is solved by itself. This is very convenient when there is no need to go somewhere else.

• To feed the child, the mother can lie down while staying on her bed. The design of the console is designed in such a way that you can feed the baby at any time, without taking him out of the crib, while remaining lying.?

• The size of a regular cot and a side crib varies. The prefix is ​​much smaller and thus becomes more convenient for small apartments, will not clutter the space.

• You can find many models of cots. There are those who turn into a table or a playpen, or move apart. The range is so high that you can find comfortable and beautiful beds that will delight parents and their children.

From the above, we can conclude that the added beds for newborns are incredibly convenient not only for children, but also for their parents!

When it was decided to buy a bed for the child,I want to choose a quality product. Eyes run up from a variety of options, but it is important to focus on a few points:

The bed should be such that it was easy to wash. There are some models that are sheathed with cloth. It creates comfort and beauty, but this fabric is difficult to wash, while it absorbs dirt, dust and liquids. Growing up, the baby will start to bite, lick, nibble the sides. Saliva that has been absorbed into the tissue creates a favorable environment for the reproduction of various bacteria, microbes and microorganisms.

For a child, excess contact with dirt is unfavorable. Therefore, we can say that cloth-covered bed - not the best choice.

There are different types of materials, but the most common is wood. There are so many types of wood with varying degrees of environmental friendliness, so when choosing it is important to think about buying a cot made of such wood as pine, oak or birch. These tree species are the most environmentally friendly. Impregnations with which they are treated have a minimal risk for the development of allergies.

Everyone knows that wood is the most environmentally friendly material, but at the same time, wood must be subjected to special treatment: sanding, impregnation, painting or varnishing.In this case, the wooden product will retain its original appearance longer, but how to treat these types of treatment when it comes to a baby cot, will chemical treatment not harm the baby’s body? With constant contact with inorganic substances, the newborn may develop allergies, because the immune system is experiencing very heavy loads these days. Therefore, it is worth thinking about this when choosing a product.

It is necessary to take into account that the bed is a side room and you will often have to move it. But it must also withstand other stresses and mechanical effects: blows from toys, motion sickness, etc. Therefore, it is important to choose a reliable design and manufacturer. When the baby grows up, it will begin to show activity, so the sides must withstand the load and not be flimsy.

Now you can find a huge number of different types and models, because there are more and more manufacturers and the choice is expanding. The most common:

• "Elephants" . The product is created in Siberia. The main material is birch. Cots are designed for babies up to nine months.You can also purchase protection from soft sides. 70-80 dollars - an estimated price.

• Sleep well - USA / Russia. The dimensions of these products are larger and suitable for children up to three years. Beds are made of beech, pine, ash. Approximate price - 200 dollars.

• Bednest - European production. Graceful, stylish, mobile. Easy to fold, packaged in a bag, not heavy, so they can be taken even in travel. Approximate cost - 400 dollars.

• Chicco - production Italy. Next2me models are suitable for babies up to 9 kilograms. These cots are easy to fold and easy to assemble. The bottom can be put both in horizontal position, and in inclined. The beds themselves are light, weighing up to 10 kg.

There are many types and models of such beds. There are models that turn into a table or a playpen, as well as a place to play.

There are about six ways to adjust the bed height.

Many models are equipped with a special crossbar, which closes the gap between the two beds - adult and child.

There are also models that can be transformed into a regular bed - it comes with an extra rim.

When parents buy these beds, it becomes immediately clear why they are in such great demand.If there is a desire, then you can order a bed from a designer, or a home wizard can remake the bed, make the console independently.

Some parents do this:

• remove the front side;
• put the bottom to the desired height;
• and pushing such a bed to the parent.

If a father or grandfather can make hands, then it will be easy for him to make a folding bed on his own. You can choose your favorite model or come up with a design yourself.

To create your own bed you need:

• the bottom on which the mattress will move;
• bars and bars (they must be polished);
• tools for woodwork (electric jigsaw, sandpaper, etc.);
• high-quality mattress;
• tissue walls optional.

Be sure to make a pre-drawing. First you need to process the tree. Paint and varnish are not the best option.

First you need to calculate how many rods will be needed for the product.Remember that the gaps should not be more than seven centimeters, so that the child does not stick his head and not stuck.

Also pay attention to fasteners. Some of them are needed for strong fixation, while others are needed to fix the crib to the parent bed.

Also make a soft upholstery so that the baby does not hurt.

Important:

• the holes must be such that the child’s head does not get stuck;
• the surface must be thoroughly polished;
• bulging corners - constitute a danger, smooth them;
• high sides are necessary so that the child does not fall out;
• determine what height to make the legs: let them coincide with the height of the parent bed;
• will the fourth wall be needed later? If yes, then fixings need to be thought out in advance.

The feedback on the cots is mostly always positive. Indeed, it is difficult to overestimate the benefits of this device, which makes mommy's life easier, creates a comfortable space for the little ones and does not annoy the young dad.

Added beds for newborns are gaining popularity. Doctors and psychologists prove that children who sleep next to their mother develop more rapidly.Anxiety in these babies is much lower than in children who sleep separately from their parents.
