Crib
When your baby outgrows the bassinet, or when he starts to
move a great deal and turn over, then
you have to move him to
the crib.
The crib may also be used from the outset, instead of the
bassinet, but the crib cannot be carried from one room to
another as is the case with the bassinet.
Safety concerns
In order for the crib to be safe, attention should be paid to the
following points:
1. It should be strongly constructed and built to last so that you
can use it for subsequent children.
2. It should be possible
to rock or swing the crib, because the
child feels comforted when the crib is rocked. But you have to
make sure that the crib will not tip over when being rocked, and
that it can be immobilised when the baby is sleeping.
3.
The crib should have a firm, flat comfortable mattress that fits
tightly into the crib.
How to keep the baby safe when he is
sleeping
1. Do not use heavy blankets or soft mattresses because that will
make the baby too hot.
2.
It is preferable to use thin, cellular blankets and to tuck the end
of the blanket under the mattress so that it will not cover the
baby’s face and cause him to suffocate.
3. You should always leave his head uncovered.
4. Put your baby in the crib with his feet touching the foot of the
crib, because that will prevent him
slipping beneath the blanket,
and he will be able to free himself from the covers if he feels too
