What is a co-sleeper crib?
A co-sleeper crib is a crib that can be transformed into multiple ways to be used anywhere and anytime, all for increased comfort for both you and your baby. However, its main and most important function is that it can be attached to the double bed, for quicker access to your little one when they need you.
Especially in the first months, you will definitely want to have him close to supervise him and to breastfeed him more comfortably. Many models have adjustable height, so that it is at the same level as the mattress of your bed. With the help of a co-sleeper crib you will no longer need to run from one room to another all night, because the baby will be next to you, being also a great way to give yourself more relaxation and rest.
Safety and comfort for the first months
Now that we know what a co-sleeper is, it's time to think about its safety and comfort. Babies are full of energy and curiosity and can get injured in a split second, even when you're right next to them. That's why it's a good idea to consider the following accessories to protect them from bumps.
1. Crib bumpers
it Individual protectors – easy to install, made of soft materials that allow for better safety. They are mounted on the crib bars with a zipper and can be washed at any time to keep them as clean and bacteria-free as possible.
it Anti-suffocation guards – another very interesting accessory are the anti-suffocation side pillows. If the baby rolls over, he will be able to breathe without problems until you reach him to put him back in a proper position.
it Braided protection – these are not only practical, but also have a design that you will surely fall in love with. You can surround your baby to stabilize him, even when his energy is at its peak.
it Canopy – last but not least, the canopy will be especially useful in the summer, when insects, especially mosquitoes, will make an appearance. It adds a pleasant, fairy-tale look, but also provides additional protection against insects that want to bite.
2. Baby mattress and bedding
Always choose premium anti-allergenic mattresses for babies, as they absolutely need to be treated against dust mites. A medium to hard firmness will be perfect to support the body and maintain the correct position, thus contributing to the healthy development of the child. The same goes for underwear – it should be made of 100% natural cotton, to allow better ventilation and avoid overheating, which can lead to excessive sweating.
3. Adjustable height
The adjustable height and the large number of ways in which a co-sleeper crib can be transformed are an essential advantage for any parent, allowing them to use it for a longer period of time.
Advantages of co-sleeper cribs
it More comfortable nighttime breastfeeding – You can feed your baby without having to get out of bed, which is extremely useful in the first months.
it Safety – The baby sleeps close to the parents, but in their own space, eliminating the risks associated with sleeping in the same bed.
it Comfort for you and baby – Both you and your baby can rest better, with stress and fatigue significantly reduced.
it Easy to move and install – Many models are simple to assemble and move around the house, to be as close to you as possible, wherever you are.
it Versatile – They can be transformed and used up to the age of 4, by detaching the sides. In the last year, the child will be able to use it as a sofa, suitable when they want to look at their favorite cartoons, color or discover the stories you read to them.
What should you look for when looking for evolutionary and transformable cribs?
