The crib lets parents easily reach their infant so that they can soothe or feed them while they are in their bed. This is especially helpful for new mothers who may suffer from sleep deprivation in the beginning of their pregnancy. It also helps to promote a healthy growth of the baby by providing a safe and comfortable environment for sleeping.

The cribs also have safety standards such as BS EN 1130, which ensures that your baby is safe and secure when they sleep. It is also important to ensure that the mattress that comes with your crib is firm instead of soft, and check for any gaps that could increase your child's risk of suffocation, or entrapment.

Avoid using duvets, pillows or baby bumpers for your baby's crib in the event that they were not designed to be used in conjunction with a crib.
