Arranging a room or sleeping place for a newly-born new family member is always fraught with some difficulties. And this is not only financial costs. First of all, you should choose the right bed. For the safety of the child during sleep and wakefulness use bumpers for the crib. For newborns, this is the key to a calm and carefree sleep.
Sleeping place is the main attribute of a children's room.
Choosing a much-needed thing, you should remember that this is an essential item, and it should last more than one year. The berth should be reliable, convenient and comfortable. If possible, the place to rest as the child grows will need to be changed several times. There are several standard sizes. For children from birth to six months - this is a cradle. Their sizes are 90 x 45 cm. Children up to three years old can stay at sizes 120-125 x 60-65 cm. The model for the next age category is 140 cm long and 70 cm wide, it is suitable for a child up to the age of seven.
You can also purchase a transformer. As the child grows, the bottom sinks so that the baby does not fall out. Whichever model you choose, it is worth considering bumpers-bumpers in the crib for newborns.
Features of children's furniture
Children's furniture is mainly made of wood. The most durable products are obtained from beech, birch or maple. Pine is a soft-processing tree, and pine models are cheaper. In any case, the furniture should be made of natural materials. The focus should be on the stability and safety of the bed. Basically, all models are equipped with lattice guards and a removable front panel. The optimal gap between the fencing rods is 6-8 cm. In addition, bumpers are used for the crib.
For newborns, this is protection against accidental drafts. This is not just a railing, but hinged soft pads of certain shapes and sizes, covering the cradle from the inside around the entire perimeter. When the child becomes more active - rolls over, crawls or rises to the legs, soft protection will protect the baby from injuries, arms and legs will not get stuck between the rods. If the child falls, the pillow will cushion the blow. In such a bed, the most restless baby will be reliably protected from bruises and injuries. Some models have pads on only three sides.
Bedding and accessories
The place of sleep must be supplemented with a mattress, a set of bed linen and other accessories. In addition to the standard set - a sheet, pillowcase, duvet cover - these can be bumpers for the crib, for newborns - a veil or mesh (mosquito net). All items for children must be made with quality and safety in mind. Natural fabrics - cotton, linen, silk. Bed linens should not have coarse seams and spiky finishing materials, foam rubber, synthetic winterizer, holofiber, and holofan are used as filler. The latter material has better characteristics than other synthetic analogues. It keeps heat and at the same time passes air well, is easily erased. Sanitary certificates confirm its safety.
When choosing a set of underwear and protection, you need to consider all sizes. It is better to choose soft pastel colors. The fabric should not fade during washing. Pay attention to how the bumper is mounted in the crib for newborns, the photo is shown above.
Do it yourself protection
Such a wonderful, safe and necessary invention is quite expensive. You can make a bumper in the crib for newborns with your own hands. It consists of two side parts and two or one longitudinal. Based on this, the amount of tissue will be equal to the sum of the lengths of the four (or three) sides of the inner part of the berth. The height of the product will depend on the level of the bottom with the mattress. For certain sizes, you need to sew four rectangular covers. Insert the filler inside - the foam keeps its shape well. In the case of synthetic winterizer, it needs to be quilted or stitched together with the fabric. The bottom of the covers is sewn up manually or a zipper is used. Ties can be made from the main fabric or buy ready-made ribbons. Ready ties are attached, trying on the spot bumpers for the crib.
For newborns, the use of this option is not always justified. The baby needs enough fresh air. Therefore, they should be removed periodically and often air the room.
