How best to arrange bed for baby to make him feel cozy and comfortable there? How to make the baby fall asleep quickly and sleep soundly in his "nest", and his sleep was healthy and safe?

Each mother decides for herself where sleep baby so that it was convenient for both - both the child and herself. After all, even while the baby is sleeping, the mother does not stop taking care of him.

Someone chooses to sleep together, postponing the purchase baby crib. Of course, when the baby sleeps with her mother "under the wing", this has its advantages - she does not need to get up again at night to check how her little treasure is. You can also breastfeed your baby without getting out of bed. And yet this option is not suitable for everyone. Being in the same bed with a child, parents often cannot fully relax, due to the fact that they begin to sleep very sensitively, fearing to disturb the child's sleep. Married life fades into the background. Put crumbs on daytime sleep when mom is not at hand, in a big bed or on a sofa is also not easy, and not safe. Therefore, most parents, even before the birth of the child or immediately upon returning from the hospital, are already equipping his own separate sleeping place. What will it be - a crib or a cradle? Choose!

Wooden crib

To the delight of mothers and babies, a huge selection is presented in stores cribs. Different in size, design, functionality - each of them will definitely wait for its little owner. A wooden classic crib is perhaps the first thing parents will meet in the children's furniture department. She is reliable and practical. A sleeping baby is fenced on all sides with high slatted sides, which means there is no risk that he will roll down and fall out of the crib (but this is quite possible from the parent's bed or sofa - be careful!). The baby is spacious here and there is room for growth.

Life time baby crib depends on its size and functionality. The standard bed size is 120x60 cm - this crib is designed for children from birth to 3 years old. Cribs size 125x65 cm will last a little longer - until the child reaches 4-5 years. There are models in which the bed is even larger - 140x70 cm. As a rule, such beds in the future turn into a sofa (one sidewall is removed) or into a couch (both side walls are removable). After such transformations, a 5-7 year old preschooler can sleep in a bed.

When choosing baby crib keep in mind that it can have a complex design, but at the same time be as simple as possible in terms of functionality - the mattress pad is not adjustable in height, the walls do not open and are not removed. And vice versa, outwardly simple classic design can be successfully combined with many options that make the crib much more convenient for the mother in caring for the baby.

Two or three levels of mattress installation. First, the baby is "settled" at the highest level. Mom does not have to bend over the high side every time to put the baby in the crib or take him out of there. When the baby begins to move actively, learns to sit down, and even more so to stand on his legs, the bottom of the crib must be transferred to the lowest position.

1. The opening wall makes it much more convenient and easier to take care of the child, play and communicate with him. Can be moved at night crib close to your bed to be closer to the baby and, if necessary, take him to bed with you, for example, feed or soothe, and then return the baby to his bed.
2. Rocking function - these can be ordinary rocking runners or a pendulum mechanism with a stopper. "Pendulum" swings crib not from side to side, but smoothly slides from side to side (lateral swing) or back and forth (longitudinal swing). When there is no need for the crib to rock, it locks into place.
3. Leg casters make it easy for mom to move crib within the room and make it possible to slightly pump up the baby by moving the crib back and forth. Rubberized wheels make movements softer and quieter - the roar and creak will not wake the baby, and there will be no scratches on the floor. Check if there are stops on the casters so that the crib can “stand on its feet” more stable.
4. Useful, but optional additions are silicone pads on the edge of the sides, on which a small “critter” can safely “scratch their teeth”. A box for linen and toys - everything you need will always be in perfect order and at hand for mom.

Bed-playpen

Bed-playpen– folding mobile bed with textile upholstery and mesh sides. Its main purpose is a camping version of a baby bed. When folded, the crib is stored in the included bag-case - it is convenient to take it with you to the country house, on a trip, to visit. not to carry crib back and forth, many parents acquire playpen bed as a spare bed especially for a summer residence or for a grandmother's house, if the baby often goes there. Between the arrivals of the child, the crib is folded and removed, it stands in the pantry or on the balcony, without disturbing anyone.

Of course used playpen bed and at home, as the main sleeping place for the baby, but in this case, its ability to fold compactly and quickly unfold remains unrealized. Therefore, before buying a playpen, you should once again weigh the pros and cons so as not to overpay for features that you are not going to use. Arguments in favor of such an acquisition, of course, are sufficient.

A complete set of options that is not inferior in functionality wooden baby cribs. Standard full-size bed (120x60, 125x65, 125x70 cm). Removable top level with a hard mattress raises the newborn in the crib to a comfortable height for mom. Instead of the upper "floor", the playpen bed can be equipped with a removable cradle. It is fixed on the sides of the crib or used separately as a rocking cradle. Lockable wheels make it easy to move the bed. There are models equipped with rocking arches, thanks to which the crib can swing.

Useful extras. A changing table is installed on the sides of the crib, which is included in the kit. After use, the changer (depending on the model) is simply removed or leans back against the wall baby bed- so it does not interfere and does not take up space in the room. Playpens often equipped with hanging plastic shelves for small items, an organizer bag, a bag for pajamas and diapers, a basket for toys, a play arc with hanging rattles. For sweet dreams in the fresh air, a mosquito net and a hood at the head of the crib are provided, covering the baby from wind and bright sunlight.

Vibromusical electronic unit - helps the mother in caring for the baby. The vibration system of motion sickness works in several modes of intensity, with the help of a timer it automatically turns off after a time set by the parents. To create a soothing audio background - several melodies and sounds of nature to choose from. The ability to record and play the voice of the parents, as well as a connector for connecting an external MP3 player to the unit, greatly expand the musical capabilities of the crib. The built-in backlight gently illuminates the sleeping place, it can be turned on both by the mother and automatically, reacting to the crying of the baby. It is convenient if you can choose, configure, turn on and off different modes of operation of the “smart” crib at a distance, using the remote control.

Appearance baby crib also plays a big role in the choice. Bed-playpen has a modern stylish design, outwardly noticeably different from the usual classics made of wood. A wide selection of upholstery colors allows you to fit the crib into any interior. It is convenient if the upholstery can be removed for washing. In addition, for the playpen you do not need to buy a bumper and mattress. The walls of the crib are already soft stuffed - the little fidget will not hurt, and the mattress is already included in the kit.

baby cradle

baby cradle It can be used both instead of a bed, and together with it. If the baby does not sleep in a large bed, maybe things will go better in a cradle that gently rocks its inhabitant - a small "nest" comfortably limits the space for sleeping crumbs. Of course used baby cradle not for long, and this stops some parents from buying it. Depending on the model and size of the bed, the cradle will last from 4 to 6 months. But this is also the most "sleepy" period of a child's life. After all, babies sleep up to 18 hours a day, and, therefore, all these months the cradle will be actively used. In addition, the cradle is more mobile, and in the first months this is especially true for the mother - no matter what you do around the house, take the baby with you, he will always be supervised. When the time comes, the baby will move from the cradle to the crib. When choosing a cradle, be guided by its following parameters:

1. The dimensions of the bed - the larger they are, the longer the life of the cradle will be. Usually the length cradles ranges from 70 to 100 cm, and the width is in the range of 40–50 cm.
2. Production material - in the classic version cradles made of natural wood, woven from rattan and willow vines - wicker cradles are very light, but strong. The cradles on a durable metal frame, combining both plastic and textiles, are not inferior to the classics in terms of functionality and convenience.
3. rocking cradle(depending on the model) is carried out both on rocking chairs and due to the pendulum mechanism. Preferred models with the ability to lock - when the baby is awake, for safety cradle must be motionless, since already at 4–6 months, children can roll over and sit down. From such active movements, the cradle can swing strongly, and the baby risks falling.
4. Electronic cradles- can swing in different modes, have a remote control, lullaby melodies, backlight. It is convenient when the electronic unit automatically activates music and light, reacting to the crying of the baby.
5. Height adjustment - some models of cradles have this option. It allows you to use cradle in the bedside version - move the baby towards you at night, setting his bed at the same level as your bed. And during the day, you can raise the cradle higher so that it is more convenient to lay the baby, care for him and communicate.
6. Wheels with locks for freedom of movement. Check in the store how smoothly and silently the cradle moves. If the cradle will often move from room to room, it is worth measuring its wheelbase (longitudinal distance between the axes of the front and rear wheels) so that the cradle does not get stuck in the door.
7. Completeness - a hanging carousel with toys, shelves, baskets or bags for children's things. For special comfort - a hood at the head or a canopy. When choosing cradle ask if it is equipped with a mattress and bed linen. Otherwise, all this will have to be searched for and selected, and this is not an easy task, because, unlike cribs, cradles can have completely non-standard sizes of a bed.

Chaise lounge and children's swing

A rosy-cheeked toddler, sweetly sniffing in his crib, is the dream of any mother. However, not all babies fall asleep so easily and simply. “Tame” babies require their mother to wear and rock them on their arms before going to bed. Sometimes such laying lasts up to 40 minutes or even longer. Transferring a sleeping baby to crib, mom does not even have time to really relax or do something around the house, as her treasure is already demanding to take him back to her. Tired mother, sleepy baby, accumulated household chores - so close to irritation, resentment and quarrels in the family.

Chaise lounge or swing In many ways, they can become assistants for mom in the first six months. They take on the motion sickness of the baby - they independently lull him, entertain him and thereby literally untie his mother's hands. If during the day the baby prefers to be more awake, you do not need to put him to sleep at all costs. Put it in a deck chair or swing - let the baby swing, look at the toys and the environment around him. Busy with business, having received his portion of emotions and impressions from what he saw and heard, under a measured swaying, he imperceptibly gets tired and falls asleep. During the day, the little one can be left to take a nap in the same place where he fell asleep. At night - gently transfer the sleeping baby to the crib.

Chaise longue for a child is a soft, cozy baby rocking chair. It is mobile and compact, so you can safely carry it around the house so that the baby always remains in the field of view of the mother while she cleans, cooks, relaxes, etc. Most importantly, do not forget to fasten the crumbs with seat belts!

Children's deck chair easily sways or springs from the simple movements of the baby - the baby lies, dangles his arms and legs, trying to reach the toys suspended above him, thereby he rocks his chair and cradles himself. The design includes a safe swing amplitude that prevents tipping.

Sun loungers for children can be equipped with a vibration mechanism (battery operated) - by pressing the button, parents themselves set the rhythm and intensity of motion sickness. The timer will turn off the vibration after the set time.
Several backrest positions - choose the most comfortable fit for your baby: for rest, sleep, wakefulness.

Many armchairs are equipped with a reclining visor - with it the baby is more comfortable, it is convenient to hang toys from the visor.

ATTENTION! Infant sun loungers are low, the baby is located in them only 10–15 cm from the floor. It may not be too convenient for mothers to lean so low to the child every time, and therefore there is a temptation to put the rocking chair higher - on a table, sofa, chest of drawers. For safety reasons, this is strictly prohibited! The sun lounger must be installed only on the floor. And on level ground. If, for example, one side of the deck chair is on the carpet, and the other is just on the floor, then it will not swing well. By the way, this also applies to swings.

Baby swing compared with sun loungers for children, of course, are not so "easy-going" - for them you will need to find a permanent place in the room. But it’s convenient if the swing has a removable carrying basket that can be removed from the base and carried with you from room to room.

When choosing children's swing do not lose sight of the fact that they should be designed for babies from birth. After all, there are also swings for children from 6 months on sale, i.e. It is assumed that the baby has already learned to sit independently.

For a newborn baby, an important element children's swing is a chair. It should be comfortable, anatomically designed for laying a child in it from the first days of life. For the smallest - a soft insert that reduces the space of the chair, making its bed as horizontal as possible. Adjustable back - the baby should be comfortable in the swing to sleep, play, relax.
Adjustable height - mom herself sets the swing chair higher or lower, choosing the most comfortable position for herself.

Latch - makes the swing motionless when you need to seat or disembark the baby. The swing can also be used as the first highchair, in which case they must also be fixed.
Entertainment Center - several speeds and swing directions, sound, lighting effects, a timer to turn off a particular function. With such a swing, it is convenient for both the mother and the baby.
Seat belts securely hold the baby in the swing seat, without interfering with his play and sleep. Do not forget, the baby must be fastened!
Completeness - a game panel, an arc with toys, a removable table for feeding, a headrest, pockets for children's accessories. All these components expand the possibilities of the swing, make it more suitable for daily use.

The electronic block of beds, cradles, chaise lounges and a swing works from batteries. So that at the most inopportune moment they do not disappoint, have a spare set available. Better yet, replace the batteries with rechargeable batteries to recharge them periodically.

Children's room

The right microclimate children's room- the key to a healthy and sound sleep of the child. Ventilate the room regularly and maintain a comfortable temperature in it: 18–20 ° C is the optimal temperature for a night's sleep, and during the day the room thermometer should not rise above 20–22 ° C. In order to breathe easily in the house, it is worth monitoring not only the temperature, but also the humidity of the air - it should be at least 50–70?%. The humidity level will accurately show the hygrometer, which for convenience can be combined into one device with a thermometer. During the heating season and hot summers, the air in the room often becomes too dry, which is the first reaction of the smallest members of the family. The baby begins to sleep worse, is more often naughty, dry crusts appear in the nose, making it difficult to breathe. A humidifier will help solve this problem.

cozy light. When laying the baby to sleep, darken the room - close the curtains, lower the blinds, close the bed with a canopy. In the semi-darkness, it will be easier for the baby to fall asleep. At night, it is better for a child to get used to sleeping with the lights off - so his biological clock will quickly adjust to the change of day and night. A small bedside night light, which gives a soft diffused light, will be useful first of all to the mother - at night it will be more convenient for her to watch the child, change his clothes, and feed him.

Baby bed linen is another important factor in healthy sleep. The baby should sleep on a flat, elastic and moderately hard mattress, the size corresponding to the size of the crib. Check if the mattress fits snugly against its sides, otherwise the child’s handle or leg may accidentally get into the gap formed and get stuck there - the baby will be hurt. The mattress can be raised slightly (about 30°) at the head by placing a small pillow or rolled-up blanket under it. At first, it will be more comfortable for a newborn to sleep, easier to breathe, less risk of choking on the food that he burped. It is advisable to close the mattress with a waterproof mattress cover or oilcloth. To equip a child's bed, you will need 2-3 sets of bedding (per shift), 2-3 sheets, one light blanket or blanket, and one warmer blanket, which can be used instead of a sleeping bag. In it, the baby will be cozy, warm, but not hot. The baby, "packed" in a sleeping bag, will not be able to open up during sleep, no matter how actively he moves. The sleeping bag is completely unzipped, so it is easy to put on and you can not remove it when changing a diaper. Newborns do not need a pillow; instead, you can use a diaper folded several times. Optionally, a soft board (bumper) and a canopy can be added to the crib. Such a kit will not only make the bed very cozy and elegant, but also protect the baby from bruises, drafts and bright light.

Baby sleepwear– should be light, soft and free. Bodysuits and jumpsuits are the best option. There are no elastic bands on the tummy, buttons in the crotch make it easy to change a diaper even for a sleeping baby. This clothes does not go astray, does not ride up, does not twist even on fidgets. So, nothing will interfere with the baby during sleep. Do not wear caps and scarves on the baby - if the temperature is normal at home, it will be hot in the headdress for the little one, because of which his sleep will not be sound, and a foggy head only increases the risk of a cold.

Child safety and his bed should be thought out to the smallest detail. Do not hang shelves for books, toys and hygiene items above the crib - a fallen item can injure the baby. There should not be a hot radiator, hanging wires, sockets and indoor flowers near the crib. Even if it is a harmless plant, a leaf that has fallen into the crib can accidentally end up in the child's mouth - and this is dangerous. In addition, flowering plants can provoke an allergic reaction in the baby. The same applies to pets - limit access to a children's dog and cat, and cages with your favorite birds, hamsters and even an aquarium with fish, until the baby grows up, it is better to take them to another room. Wool, feathers and smell can cause allergies in the crumbs, a pet can unwittingly wake up and frighten the baby with an unexpected sharp movement or sound. Putting the baby in the crib, do not forget to close its folding wall! To avoid trouble, you should make sure that the latches on the side of the crib are securely fixed.

The length of the crib is more than 2 times the height of a newborn baby. One wants to use the empty space more rationally - thus, stacks of diapers, deposits of diapers or a bunch of toys appear in the crib, at the feet of the baby. There should be no mess in the crib so that nothing interferes with the child, and he could not get confused in anything.

A clean bedroom, a clean bed - the baby should not breathe dust (one of the strongest allergens). Do not overload the room with carpets, books, heavy curtains, large soft toys. Regularly carry out wet cleaning of the room, not forgetting about the floor under the bed. The crib itself should also be wiped - especially between the rails, where dust accumulates the most. Be sure to clean the textile upholstery of cradles and playpens, wash canopies and bumpers. Change your baby's bed linen more often - clean clothes always sleep better.

The baby is already fed and laid. Having settled comfortably in his bed, he does not notice how sleep comes to him, and his eyes close. So mom did the right thing. Sweet dreams, baby...

A newborn sleeps about 16 hours a day. We can say that this is his main activity in the first months of life. How to make a newborn's crib safe, comfortable for the baby and convenient for the parents? Let's talk about the rules of how to organize a sleeping place for a baby.

Thinking about how to lay a bed for a newborn, follow the main rule: only the necessary and nothing more!

• Lay a baby oilcloth with fixing elastic bands on the mattress (it is not advisable to use a hospital one - it is cold and uncomfortable on it even through thick diapers).
• Cover the oilcloth with a thick sheet made of natural fabric. For convenience, you can use a sheet for a crib with elastic bands that prevent it from gathering and sliding.
• If you are going to use reusable diapers, lay another small oilcloth. However, sometimes may flow.
• A newborn does not need a pillow! Fear of the insistence of relatives that the child is uncomfortable without a pillow leads to problems with the spine. Pediatricians recommend using it only after a year, or even after two.
• It is better not to use blankets - the baby can get confused and suffocate in them.
• During the day, while the baby is awake, you can hang rattles, but at the time of sleep all this needs to be removed - the toy can fall on the baby and scare him, or he himself can get tangled in a rope or elastic band.

A newborn baby is completely helpless, and the task of parents is to think through everything to the smallest detail so that the crib meets all safety requirements ...

• It is better to put a newborn's crib in the same room where the parents sleep - this will help to look after the child and be calmer yourself.
• The color of the crib should be neutral (not bright) so as not to tire the baby.
• If you plan to place the crib close to your (parent's), make sure that when you remove one side, the rest will not move apart. For strength, you can screw an additional plate.
• For safe sleep, do not put anything extra with your child, including soft toys (collect dust and can cause suffocation), diapers, containers with baby cosmetics.
• Before you have time to look around, you will notice that the child is turning on his stomach. At this moment, he can hit his head on the bars - then the soft sides will not interfere. But, as soon as the baby begins to move more confidently, remove them - extra dust collectors are useless. For the same reason, spending money on a canopy for a crib is also not worth it. True, a light canopy can be relevant for sleeping in nature as protection against insects, for example, in the country, when it is possible to sleep in a crib on the street.
• The bottom of the crib for the first couple of months can be put on the highest level, but as soon as the child begins to try to roll over, immediately rearrange the bottom to a lower level. By the time the child should start to get up, the bottom will have to be lowered even lower. If the levels aren't comfortable for Mom (height is "neither here nor there"), she can ask Dad to drill additional holes and set the bottom to a comfortable height.

There should not be any loose ropes hanging in the children's bed - this threatens to suffocate.

Setting up a newborn bed is one of the most enjoyable activities for new parents. Just do it with love, and our advice and parental instinct will help organize a comfortable sleeping place for a newborn.

In most cases, children prefer to sleep with their parents, and this applies not only to the first months after birth, but also to subsequent years.

Only after that begins to equip their own room. In this case, an excellent solution would be to create a bedroom with, which will require special attention and approach.

In this case, the premises must meet certain mandatory requirements, such as coziness, comfort and, most importantly, safety.

Organization of a bed for a child

First of all, parents should decide on the place where the crib itself will stand, taking into account the fact that it should not focus on itself.

The most advantageous option would be the most illuminated corner near the bed of adults. This will make the baby feel safe and comfortable.

It is important that the location of the child gets as little sunlight and drafts as possible. For safety reasons, it is better not to place items near the crib that can fall on it.

In most cases, the so-called visual fencing is used. To do this, you can put a screen, curtains or even a full-fledged partition, but the latter can significantly reduce the overall space.

Also, a locker can be a good option for separation, this is shown in the photo of a bedroom with a crib, and this is the most natural and at the same time functional way.

It is recommended to arrange furniture in such a way that the child does not see the TV screen or computer monitor. In the case when parents have to get up to the baby relatively often at night, the side edge of the crib is removed altogether, but at the same time it should be close to the parents' bed.

Finishing and decorating a bedroom with a crib

An important role is played by the division into zones of the common space. In most cases, this process is carried out by painting the walls, which is shown in the photo of the bedrooms with cribs, near which the child's bed is located.

You can use wallpaper, but as for the color, it is better to choose a contrasting shade. The main thing is that the final version is in harmony with the overall interior and design of the room.

Wallpaper is better to choose a specific structure, for example:

• paper;
• non-woven;
• fiberglass based.

Due to the manufacture of natural raw materials in the future, it becomes possible to paint them in any desired color.

To highlight the children's area, you can use individual details, such as:

• pictures depicting goodies;
• photographs in unusual frames;
• wall sconces in bright colors;
• small shelves with soft toys.

In no case should you forget about the general concept. The ideal color scheme for creating a bedroom design with a crib is neutral shades that help to calm down.

The presence of textiles in the interior of a bedroom with a crib

Carpets or rugs help to give coziness to a small bedroom with a crib. However, the presence of such elements has its drawbacks - cleaning should be carried out much more often, since all such materials are subject to the accumulation of large amounts of dust and debris.

It is for this reason that it is better to choose a small carpet.

For a parent's bedroom with a crib, it is better to purchase curtains with a dense texture and abstract shades. This will give the room a modern and, of course, comfort.

It is the observance of all these fairly simple rules that will ultimately help create the perfect bedroom interior with a crib, in which it will be comfortable and pleasant to be not only for you, but also for the baby. He will sleep soundly and peacefully at night, and you will get the opportunity to rest.

If a joyful event is approaching in your family, namely the birth of a child, then this article will be especially useful and relevant for you. And we will talk about how to choose a crib for a baby and accessories for it, how to equip a crib, making it comfortable and safe.

Crib selection

First of all, it is important to decide on the type of crib for a newborn that you would like to purchase. Currently, manufacturers of children's furniture offer a huge variety of different types of cribs: cribs, cradles, baskets, cradles, etc. Of course, the first and main criterion for choosing a crib should be functionality and reliability.

Also, keep in mind that a baby grows very quickly, and as a rule, a crib can be used up to 3 years, after which it needs to be changed to a new bed.
Mainly pay attention to the fact that the crib has sides so that the child does not fall out of it. The main materials that are used for the manufacture of baby carriages are the following types of trees: birch, pine, oak.

Choosing the location of the crib

If the family is not cramped in living conditions, then choosing the location of the children's bed will not be difficult, for this it is quite possible to allocate a separate nursery room. But if you live in a one-room apartment or even with your parents, then just try to separate a children's corner in your bedroom. Choose a bright, warm and well-ventilated place. Avoid placing the crib near heaters and windows. Try not to have sharp corners of shelves or a cabinet door near the crib.

Choosing a children's mattress

However, not only the bed is of great importance for a good rest of your baby, the choice of a children's mattress must be given special attention.

First of all, be guided by the following criteria for choosing a children's mattress:

• Orthopedic design;
• Matching the size of the mattress to the size of the crib;
• The surface of the mattress should be flat, without depressions and deflections.

Currently, there are a large number of different types of mattresses: spring, wool, felt, horsehair.
The main and, perhaps, the main rule that must be observed when choosing a mattress is the convenience for the child's spine.

Mattress cover and oilcloth

Also take care of choosing a mattress cover and oilcloth. The mattress pad should be dense, made from natural fabrics, easy to care for.
Additionally, purchase an oilcloth for the mattress, which will serve as a lining and protect the mattress from constant moisture.

The choice of children's bed linen

A few more words about choosing a set of bed linen. It is better to purchase 2 sets of linen made from natural fabrics. As for the sheets, in addition to the 2 large sheets that you will put on the mattress, get 4 small sheets so that you can cover the child.

Try to make bedding made from soft fabrics that do not need to be starched. Do not starch your baby's bedding so as not to cause allergic reactions.

Choosing a Baby Blanket

If we adults can use almost any kind of pillows for sleeping, then the baby does not need to sleep on a pillow, since this does not contribute to the proper development of the spine. The only thing that can be used is a diaper folded in half.

But as for the blanket, you need to take care to purchase 2 blankets for the baby at once: quilted and woolen. Use blankets only if the apartment is really cold, otherwise it is enough to use a warm diaper for shelter.

Choice of accessories for the crib

Anything can be baby accessories for the crib: baby rattles, clothespins on the sides, musical and soft toys. Choose accessories that are manufactured in accordance with all standards, without the use of harmful components.

Well, that's probably all. It is better to foresee all the little things and details in advance, so that later you do not rush in search of something that you missed. Let your children's corner be comfortable and warm for the baby.

Do you want something new that will bring you positive emotions as soon as you wake up? Bed linen with a fashionable and beautiful design, with a very soft and pleasant texture. Here's what you need for a happy morning.

Children's bed in the parents' bedroom

Design of a bedroom with a crib: how to place everything?

I want to redecorate my bedroom. It is small, it contains our bed and a nursery, and two chests of drawers: a regular one and a changing one, and an armchair, and a coffee table, and a larger table on which there is a TV ...

For the second week now, I’ve been thinking about how to arrange everything so that it’s comfortable, and even the children’s swings didn’t stand in the middle of the room, like a poplar on Plyushchikha))

In general, I searched and searched and found this article on this topic (maybe it will be just as useful for someone - I left all links to the source site in the text as thanks for the article):

Where to begin?

1. Consider future changes

First, it must be remembered that the crib in the bedroom is temporary. After two or three years, the babies are moved either to a separate room or to a new bed. It is advisable to plan the design of the bedroom so that the newborn's bed is not a central element, in the absence of which the interior would lose its integrity.

If in the future it is not planned to move the child to a separate room (unfortunately, this is not always possible), after three years redevelopment will still be required. At combining a bedroom with a nursery for a grown child a clear zoning is necessary with a clear distinction between the adult and children's areas. Consequently, very soon after the appearance of the baby, if not a complete rework with repairs, then at least a redesign with a rearrangement. If such a prospect awaits you, then, preparing for the appearance of a newborn, immediately think over the future redevelopment, ensuring the possibility of its easy implementation. Leave room for larger partitions and cribs, as well as storage for toys, a play area and an activity table.

2. Choose a place for an adult bed

First of all, you should decide on the location of the adult bed. Only after that you need to choose a place for the cradle of the newborn.

Draw a plan of the room on a sheet of paper, taking into account the dimensions of the room. Measure the adult bed and find out the dimensions of the nursery. The sizes of cradles can fluctuate: from 120 to 60 (this is the minimum) to 140 to 70. If the crib is combined with a chest of drawers and a changing table, its dimensions are correspondingly larger. These parameters need to be transferred to the plan on paper.

It is necessary to decide what arrangement of furniture will be optimal. It is desirable that near each of the sleeping places there should be at least 70 cm of free space. Passage must be left to both berths of an adult bed.

"Try on" in the drawing different options for the location of the parent box: across the room (for narrow bedrooms), along the room or diagonally. Look at which arrangements have free access to beds and leave room for a crib. Among all the possible options for arranging furniture, choose the most ergonomic, comfortable and safe for the baby.

Remember: - this is a temporary solution, which means that its location must be chosen after the optimal place for an adult bed is found.

3. Choose a place for a crib

How to put a newborn crib in the bedroom? A place in one of the corners is considered optimal. This area is called "corner of the newborn". In the corner, the crib looks more secure. The child is most comfortable here.

The crib should be positioned so that it is protected from bright sunlight and electric light, drafts, cold air flows from the air conditioner. The place must be chosen taking into account the fact that the door and cabinet fronts do not hit the bed. There should be no objects near the child that could fall into the cradle. For example, the location of an open shelving near the crib, filled with books, vases and figurines, is not the best idea. The child in the crib should not see the TV screen and computer monitor.

Corners are not the only possible location. The crib can be placed near the middle of the wall, across the room (narrow side against the wall), or even close to the center of the room. After all, you need to take into account all the factors, including: availability of free space, maximum security, unhindered access to the crib.

Reflect in your plan the different arrangements and compare the pros and cons of each of these solutions.

Common ways to place baby cots in the bedroom:

1. In the corner. As a rule, the cradle is placed through a nightstand or chest of drawers from an adult bed, if the width of the room allows.

2. Opposite the head of an adult bed. It is convenient that the child is always in the field of view of the parents. Subsequently, when the need for a crib disappears, it will be possible to install a cabinet or chest of drawers in this place, and hang a TV on top.

3. Close to an adult bed. This is an idea for co-sleepers. From the side adjacent to the parent bed, the side of the crib is removed. The child is in his own bed, but sleeps with his parents. This creates comfort for successful feeding. However, this arrangement also has disadvantages: this is the lack of passage to the second sleeping place and the difficulty in making the bed.

4. Highlight and decorate the corner of the newborn

Light zoning will not be superfluous: it will bring order to the interior, make the bedroom more comfortable, and the corner of the newborn - nicer.

One of the ways is the accent design of the part of the wall to which the bed adjoins. This area can be pasted over with contrasting wallpaper or painted in a color different from the main shade of the walls. However, you need to think about whether this accent area will be appropriate when the crib leaves the interior.

You can also highlight the corner of the newborn with the help of decor. The walls near the crib are decorated with the following elements:

• framed photographs (children's photographs of the baby's parents, as well as his grandparents look very cute here)
• letters forming the child's name
• posters with funny children's stories
• original wall art objects (for example, framed booties or a tiny dress on a coat hanger)
• paper garlands
• shelves with soft toys
• beautiful night light

Another way to highlight and isolate the zone of the newborn is to create a canopy. A canopy or canopy will protect the child from excessively bright light, insects, drafts. The children's corner will be transformed: it will become tender, touching, romantic.

Baby crib in the bedroom: what else to think about when planning?

When designing a bedroom combined with a nursery, follow the traditional principles of compatibility. So, if the parent's bed, bedside tables and wardrobes are designed in white, then let the "cradle" be white, harmoniously woven into the overall picture. However, the crib can also be accented - for example, blue, pink, green. It can be supported by other elements: drapery on the window, lamps
