How do you decide which is best for your baby's safety and comfort? This guide aims to break down everything you need to know to make an informed decision.

Why a Good Baby Crib is Important

A quality baby cot is essential for your baby’s development and safety. Babies sleep for extended periods of time, and the right baby cot creates a safe and secure sleeping environment.

Choose the Best Baby Cots

Understanding the various types of baby cribs and cots available at Amyzel can help you decide which one suits you best. 

Traditional Wooden Cribs

The most popular kind of cots are standard baby cribs. They are designed for everyday use and are made of sturdy materials such as wood. Usually, these cots have a mattress platform and fixed sides. 

Bedside Cribs

Bedside cribs, sometimes known as co-sleepers, are designed to be placed right next to your bed. Usually, one side can be lowered, allowing easy access to your baby during the night. This design facilitates easier and more convenient overnight feedings while also fostering bonding.

What Are Some Important Things to Consider Before You Purchase a Baby Crib? 

There are many things to consider before buying a baby cot. We have mentioned important ones below: 

Safety First: Always check that the baby crib meets safety standards. Pay attention to details like properly spaced slats, drop-side prevention, and snug mattresses.

Material and Durability: The material of the baby cot affects its durability and safety. Sheesham wood cribs and cots are popular for their robustness and longevity. Ensure that the crib is free from harmful finishes and paints to keep your baby safe.

Non-Toxic Finishes: Babies are known for chewing on crib rails, so it's crucial to choose a crib with non-toxic finishes to keep your baby safe from harmful chemicals. 

Size and Space: Measure your room to make sure that the cot or crib fits perfectly.
