The crib that your baby sleeps will have a major impact on their health and development regardless of the style of the slats, or the mattress height. Remember that nails and bolts can become loose over time, so be sure to check the crib's hardware regularly. Also, don't place your crib near curtains or window blinds that hang, which can pose a strangulation hazard for your baby. Size Size is one of the most important factors to consider when shopping for the right crib. A crib should be large enough to accommodate a sleepy infant, but small enough so that you are able to safely reach your child to listen to them. It should also be durable enough to withstand the wear and tear of everyday use. The majority of cribs are made out of metal or wood, and a majority have sliding sides. let caregivers view the baby from various angles and also encourage airflow. Cribs can be used until your child reaches the age of two. Most standard cribs come with a mattress height that can be adjusted to accommodate your baby's growth. The lowest setting is suitable for newborns, whereas the highest setting is good for babies who can sit up or crawl. Measure the crib's interior to ensure the mattress is suitable. The slatted structure can leave tiny gaps that could be dangerous to your baby. Manufacturers offer cribs and mattresses that aren't standard sizes, yet have the same safety standards. These include play yards and portable infant beds and bassinets. These cribs usually have rigid or mesh sides, and are usually smaller than full-size cribs. Check the manufacturer's guidelines to determine the recommended mattress size in case you decide to purchase a crib that is not standard. There could be specifications that differ from the standard crib size of 52 inches long and 28 inches
