Preparing for the arrival of the long-awaited baby into the world, mothers are trying their best to provide him with a cozy nest. This is where the dilemma arises. What to see - cribs or cradles? For newborns, of course, the second option is preferable. Imagine the discomfort experienced by the baby, getting into a completely unfamiliar big world. And the small cradle gives him a sense of security, as if he is still in his mother's tummy. It is not for nothing that the history of these cute items for children's use was not interrupted, on the contrary, over time, ordinary "rocking chairs" acquired a high-tech filling.
Indeed, there are models in the catalogs equipped with lighting, an electronic carousel with toys, an automatic vibration system for motion sickness and a selection of lullabies. Although the cost of such "advanced" products is impressive. Although, if additional options are not so important to you, then the simplest cradle for newborns will do just fine. The price for budget models does not bite very much - about 4 thousand rubles. Anyway, after 3 or 4 months, the cradle will have to be abandoned, sohow the baby will grow out of it.
It is much more important to choose the right product. A mother's first priority is the safety of her baby. Therefore, the materials must not be toxic. Wood is the most acceptable option. But even here there are underwater pebbles - the coating. It will be extremely unpleasant to find that varnishes and impregnations with which wood was treated emit harmful substances. Therefore, all cradles for newborns are accompanied by certificates. And in no case do not hesitate to ask the seller for supporting documents.
Decide in advance whether the model will have wheels or not. Wheels give the product mobility. Mommy can easily roll the cradle with the baby closer to her. For example, put it next to the bed in the bedroom. If you have chosen a small cradle with a pendulum motion sickness mechanism, then make sure that there are special latches on it.

What else should you focus on when choosing your ideal cradle from the many products presented. Perhaps pay some attention to the sleeping place of the crumbs. It shouldn't be too soft. Moderately rigid, even - these are two criteria for the quality of the structure. As standard, cradles for newborns are already supplied with a bed set: a mattress, a sheet, a blanket. SometimesThere is a removable fabric upholstery. It would be nice to have an additional "shift". Then it will not be a problem to wash the baby's underwear.
Good cradles for newborns who have a so-called fabric canopy. This hood helps shade your little one's sleeping area so bright lights don't wake him up. In addition, the products themselves are sometimes complemented by a changing table, a laundry basket, a carousel with toys. It’s up to mommy to decide whether she needs these “sweets” or not.
