Bassinet And Cots – A Few Tips On Baby Safety
Thinking of buying a bassinet? Bassinets are extremely popular these days due to the fact that it can be easily moved from one room to another whilst also being detachable off its legs so u can transport your baby around in it.
When doing your research, you will need to look out for bad designs where the bassinet can be easily tipped over – check to also make sure it has wheels that come with brakes that can be locked for safety.
How about a cot then? While bassinets are generally suitable for newborns, cots are for the larger infants who can move around in bed. Because of this, bassinets are no longer safe to use and cots are a more sturdy option. If you decide to purchase a baby cot that requires you to assemble it on your own, then make sure you read the instruction manual very carefully to ensure that you have put everything together the right way, or it could be a potential safety hazard to your baby.
Many parents are worried about their infants rolling over and bumping themselves on the walls of the cots, so they buy extra bumper pillows to buffer the baby. Do not do this.
Anything like a pillow or small dangling toys in the cot could pose as a real threat to your baby’s health, as well as a choking hazard. If you are really worried about your bumping, look for cots that come with cushioned walls as a safety feature, but generally this is not really required.
