Increasingly popular among modern mothers are supplementary cribs for newborns. For the first time, beds of this design appeared in America, and a couple of years later they spread in Western countries.
A very small child needs a constant presence of the mother. If the baby has a separate crib, this creates certain inconveniences - mom has to get up in the middle of the night, because of what the parents' rest is difficult to consider full. The other extreme, when a young mother sleeps in the same bed with an infant, is also fraught with consequences. First, between the father and the mother of the child, alienation is created, and secondly, the person who is accustomed to fall asleep next to the baby's mother sometimes finds it difficult to accustom to sleeping in a separate bed.
The use of a crib, which is a separate children's room, firmly attached to the parents' bed, helps to solve these problems.
Advantages of a child's bed
- The child feels the presence of the mother, so that his sleep is calm.
- Mum hears how the baby breathes, so the manifestation of the syndrome of apnea - a sudden stop of breathing in infants, is almost impossible.
- In the crib, it is convenient to feed the child at night - you can do this without getting out of bed.
- To lull a suddenly awakened baby, sometimes it's enough to reach out to pat or lightly pat him on the back.
- Parents sleep together, Dad does not have to move to the sofa.
I would like to note that if my mother underwent surgery
In recent years, buying a ready-made child's crib for a parent's cot is not a problem, as before, when the father removed one of the kochki's walls and figured out how to secure the baby's safety. It is important only to choose the material from which this piece of furniture is made. Of course, a natural tree is preferable. Industrially produced cots made of oak, ash, pine or birch are perfectly processed and have absolutely harmless coating. Moreover, the cost of many models of baby cots is quite democratic.
The cot will gradually accustom your baby to a separate sleep, and, therefore, you will start to develop the child's independence in time.
