Safety of the cradles
Before buying the cradle of the baby, it is suitable to take some precautions and to consider questions that seemingly can happen unnoticed. Here we show 20 examples:
1 - Ssi the cradle that they are considering has bars, that the same ones are not very separated, so that the baby does not put his cabecita between them.
2-Cuando the baby is new-born and in his first months, the mattress can be to approximately approximately 40 centimeters in relation to the rims of the cradle because it does not turn round yet if the same it is not even climbed. Then the height will have to be bigger, so that when the baby stops it could not fall down, approximately between 60 than 70 centimeters.
3-El mattress must be hard, that the baby does not sink in the same one. The sheets and blankets must be put so that they come to the baby to the armpit and that it is not possible to be sliding and to remain covered by the same ones. These last two advices are very important to diminish the risk of sudden death together with the indication of which the baby sleeps mouth above or sideways.
4-No to put neither toys nor cushions inside the cradle why he can suffocate. Also when the baby learns to stop only, it can use them to be climbed, at the risk of falling down of the cradle.
5-Utilizar adaptable sheets that are designed especially for cradles. Not to put sheets that remain big.
6-Colocar to the baby in the low end of the cradle, with the piecitos close to the piecera and the sabanita and well exact blanket in the mattress and at a height of the armpits of the baby with his bracitos out of the sheets. This is because the babies move very much and the head can be covered and suffocate. Also it is possible to put to the baby a thermal pijamita in winter replacing this way the blankets and sheets.
7-Si the cradle has screws, be fixed that they are well exact, and that they do not stand out so that the baby does not hurt himself.
8-Si the cradle of the baby or playpen is of material woven, to be fixed that the above mentioned textile is pressed and is not broken in any place so that the baby does not put his arm, leg or head.
9 - If the cradle has bars be fixed that they are well exact, that they have no matchwood, and that none is missing.
10-Si the cradle has movable rail, to make sure permanently that should be well exact.
11-Alejar the cradle of all access to electrical plugs, lamps, curtains and tapes of blinds and windows.
12-Colocar a carpet under the cradle to protect it from possible falls.
13-Si the cradle has wheels, the best thing is that two of them are united, or if not to block them.
14-Si the cradle is painted, to make sure that the painting should not be poisonous.
15-No to put pillow to sleep up to 2 years.
16-lth mobiles or gymnasia must be withdrawn from the cradle of the baby when this one has age sufficient as to sit down it can only, why start them and hang itself with the same ones. And, as we already saw something superficially:
17-Es important so much in the cradle or in the cradle to put a chichonera why the baby usually goes moving towards the sides or up, this way to protect his head of rubbings and blows.
18-Si the cradle has wheels, it is important that you notice that they slide well, and to move it carefully if the baby is put to bed.
19-Para the summer is very useful to put a mosquito net in the cradle of the baby to protect it from the insects.
20-El mattress of the cradle of the baby must fit well to the same one so that the baby could not slide and remain caught between the mattress and the cradle.
