Why a Good Baby Crib is Important

A good quality baby cot can help create a safe and comfortable sleeping space for your baby. Since infants tend to sleep for long hours, choosing a well-designed crib may support consistent rest.

How to choose the Baby Cot or crib?

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.
