How to get your baby a good night sleep on its new bed.
It is very important to take care that your baby and you get a good night sleep so that your baby and you wake up with a refreshing felling. You may not find it quite affordable to equip your baby with a nursery. Therefore, always think about how your choices will help to get your baby a good night sleep. While shopping for your baby, remember that your baby will not remain a baby for long.
John Lewis’s team of professional advisors of Nursery have brought together some of the best tips that will help you ease the transformation of your baby from its first crib or Moses basket to their toddler bed or cot and make it a smooth transition. They also offer you advice on making the best decision for your baby within your budget.
Cribs
You will find your baby sleeping comfortably in their cribs or Moses basket initially as it provides a miniature and peaceful sleeping and secure environment for your baby. The gliding and rocking action of the crib makes the baby settle in the crib contentedly. This will help you get your baby a good night sleep.
Mothers need to lock their babies swinging cribs while the baby is not near it or if the crib is not been used. Special care needs to taken during their growing stages as they become stronger to ensure your babies safety.
You may shift your baby from its crib or Moses basket to a new bed such as cot when the age of your baby is between four to six months or until the baby starts crawling and sits without any help and starts pushing with their hands.
Cots
Before you shift your baby to its new bed, which is the cot, make sure you introduce its new bed to them by placing it near or next to its crib for some weeks as you plan to shift them permanently into their new bed. Mothers using Moses baskets for their babies can place them on the cot while the baby takes its regular nap during the daytime. In addition, mothers can also let their baby play in the cot while they are awake during daytime.
Always select a cot, which drops downwards, has teething rails, castors and has locks and mattresses that adjusts well to the cot.
Place your baby on the bed in the position of their feet towards foot with their back downwards, tuck the bedding, and make sure the bedding does not go over your babies shoulder.
