Baby Proofing the Baby’s Room

admin — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0000

So you bought the crib, you bought the toys, you bought the monitors and everything else and now you have just put the finishing touches on that adt security system and you think there’s nothing more that needs to be done for the baby’s safety. WRONG! Parenting is a full-time job and there is much that needs to be done in order to successfully baby proof the baby’s room.

For starters, you should always do your research. If you have not yet bought a crib, then check with various manufacturers online to determine the safest one. If you have already bought the crib, check online to make sure your model was not recalled. If it was, no problem, follow the instructions online and send it back. Once you are sure the crib is safe, take a look at the toys you put in it. You might not think a stuffed bear is too heavy but for a newborn, the weight and the size could be deadly – smothering, even. And if you have a wood floor, invest in a soft carpet or rug to soften the surface. Babies like to explore and they sometimes trip and stumble.

A baby is a very fragile creature and you need to do everything you can to ensure his or her safety and future.

Before worrying about what to put in a babies crib, having a good quality crib is of the utmost importance. It’s recommended never to purchase a used or antique crib because it could be missing bolts that could make the crib collapse and cause injury to your child. It could also be chipped and could cause your child to get splinters or be poisoned from the paint if the put their mouths on the crib from the previous owner. For maximum comfort, make sure that there is a good mattress in the crib with the appropriate bedding and that the crib is adjusted to the right height. When your child is able to stand up you need to make sure the mattress is adjusted lower so that they cannot get out and fall causing them an injury. Toys that are small enough to fit in their mouths should not be put in the crib because they could choke. Small stuffed animals with hazard less choking material with no ribbons should be fine. However, babies are easily entertained with moving objects and most cribs come equipped it levers that support hangin toys for them to look at and reach for to keep them busy while trying to fall asleep.

Nothing is more important to new parents than keeping their baby safe and happy. The ideal crib will do both and also fit in with your home and budget. Follow these tips for choosing the perfect crib for your new baby and you.

Make Safety a Priority
It does not matter how stylish a crib is if it is not safely constructed. JPMA-certified cribs are guaranteed to have met the minimum safety requirements outlined by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Do not buy a crib without this certification. Check to make sure all parts fit tightly, surfaces are smooth and paint is not peeling.

Consider Size, Style and Shape
Will your baby be sharing a room with you? If so, consider using a bassinet or cradle. A full-size crib is perfect for a nursery. Mini cribs and corner cribs are also available to make the most out of small spaces. Keep in mind that babies grow faster than you can imagine. A convertible crib is a good investment that can grow along with your child. Choose neutral colors if you will be passing the crib onto another baby, plan on redecorating in the future or purchase a convertible model that will be used for years.
