Some Tips on Baby Cribs and Safe Sleep

The first thing parents think about is the safety of their children. Normally when the baby is awake people take care of themselves and take precautions. But when the baby is asleep, safety is also an important issue. Here are some tips.

What to watch out for when your baby is asleep

It is very important to know the temperature of the nursery. The nursery should be at a comfortable 18 ° C for a relaxing sleep. After a nap, it is a good idea to ventilate the room to help keep the air fresh. A cheerful and airy room helps to create a calm atmosphere. A calm and relaxing environment for your baby can help him have good sleep patterns and can even help him stay in his own bed at night.

A crib or a crib

One person will have to make the decision between a crib and a crib. The advantage of a crib is that it can be cozy and warm for the new baby and can easily fit next to the parents’ bed during the first months of the baby’s life. A crib is much longer and will allow a child to sleep in it longer before having to change to a bed. A crib will generally allow a child to use it until about three and a half years of age.

Sheets or sleeping bag

The next option is whether to use sheets or a sleeping bag. A quilt can be unsafe for babies because they cannot yet regulate their body temperature and can overheat. It can also be dangerous, as they can become tangled and suffocate under the quilt. A sleeping bag is a better alternative as they come in all shapes and sizes. They also come in different thicknesses and will keep baby warm without getting tangled in it.

Some more tips that can help you

Many babies are easy to engage and a bright smile can create an instant change from sleepy to happy and bubbly. Try to avoid eye contact when putting your child to sleep so that he remains calm and quiet. A family hug, with the familiar scent of the father, can be a relaxing and comforting action to help the baby sleep. Some babies will fall asleep independently, but some will have a hard time falling asleep.

If your baby cries, don’t get up right away. Sometimes babies cry in their sleep, and some babies stop crying if no one takes care of them right away. If your baby continues to cry, don’t wait until he is upset, as it will take longer to help him calm down so he can go back to sleep.
