Baby Cribs

Baby Cribs - Choosing a safe crib for your baby is especially important because a crib is one of the places you should feel comfortable about leaving your baby alone for short periods of time while he or she sleeps. 
 

Selecting a baby crib bedding set

Baby Crib safety tips:

• Check a new baby crib bedding carefully, the surface must be smooth and splinter free. 
• Check your baby's crib regularly for potential hazards eg screws may need to be tightened regularly if they are loose.
• Use the original crib mattress & ensure that it fits properly. If you have to replace the crib mattress, ensure that it is the same size as the original so there are no gaps and the mattress is tight against all four sides of the crib.
• Check the mattress regularly & ensure it is still in good condition. If it is soft or worn down in any area, it should be replaced.
• Remove pillows, quilts, & comforters from the crib. No comforters, stuffed toys or bumper pads should be put in your baby's crib as they can be hazardous.
• Do not attempt to restrain your baby in his /her crib.
• Items which may become wound around your baby's neck eg necklaces, strings or clothing with a drawstring, should not be left with a baby in a crib.
• Baby cribs should be placed far enough away from hazards, such as windows, curtains, blind cords, electrical plugs, extension cords etc so the baby can't reach them.
• As soon as your baby has grown & is able to stand, remove anything that could be used as a step to climb out of the baby's crib. 
• Never use an adult sheet on your baby's crib mattress; it can come loose and become an entanglement hazard to young baby.
