Crib Sets - Everything You Need For Your Newborn to Sleep Soundly From Day One

The best cots for newborns crib sets include everything you require for your baby to sleep soundly from day one. They are already shrunk and machine washable. They are designed to fit comfortably around the mattress, and avoid the risk of bunching, which is a serious danger for infants.

One parent testigator said that she had used hers for two babies, and then gave it to a friend. This makes it a smart buy. Its sleek design makes it a great option for nurseries with minimalist designs.

Bedding

There are many options when it comes to bedding for your crib. But choosing the right sheet is more than simply choosing a cute design to be in line with your preferences. You need to find one that fits snugly and doesn't bunch up in places where it could be a suffocation hazard for your baby. It is important to choose a soft and durable material to withstand blowouts from diapers, spills, and other messes over the course of months without wearing out.

This Avocado set is one of our top picks. It includes two sheets made of 100% certified organic GOTS cotton. The sheets are MADE SAFE certified, which is an independent third-party certification that assures that Avocado's products meet the highest standards of quality and safety. The sheets are pre-shrunk to ensure that they don't shrink or stretch after washing. They also fit on a standard crib bed (27 1 4 inches wide by 51 5/8 inches long). The blankets can be washed to clean up the inevitable mess that your little bundle will make.

Another great option for newborns and toddlers is crib mattress pads which provides an additional layer of comfort and protects the mattress from spills and staining. Choose mattresses that are less than an inch thick, so your child can breathe easily. Avoid anything that's too soft or has long ribbons, bows and other adornments that could detach and pose a strangulation risk.

Consider purchasing an adjustable crib if you intend to keep your child in the crib for a long time. These cribs can be converted to a toddler bed, and sometimes even a full-size or daybed. Some cribs have the necessary conversion kits included but some require a separate purchase.

A few of our favorite cribs include this Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 crib that is sleigh-style, made of solid wood and features one of the highest mattress heights (for parents who are concerned about reaching down to a low mattress). It's also Greenguard Gold-certified, meaning it complies with strict environmental standards to reduce emissions of gas.

Mattress

When it concerns crib mattresses, firmness and size are crucial. The AAP recommends a firm mattress that fits comfortably and does not leave an indentation when you lay a sheet on it. The mattress should also be the proper size for the crib, and it should remain in place--even after your baby grows out of it.

In addition, you'll want to be aware of whether the mattress is made up of chemicals that could potentially harm your child. Look for mattresses that are odorless and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--which frequently emit a noxious chemical smell. CertiPUR US certification is a good indicator. It certifies that the foam used in the mattress is free of ozone depleters as well as other harmful chemicals.

A few other things to think about include how much the mattress weighs and whether it's waterproof or not. It's likely that you'll be dealing with changes to sheets at night, so having a surface that is waterproof or wipeable will help with cleaning. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2-Stage is the most heavy of the selection we tested at 20 pounds which could be a problem for some parents.

A mattress with two sides may have a firm side for infants and a softer side for toddlers. Pediatricians recommend flipping the mattress after your child is at the peak of their normal growth, which is usually at around 12 months.

We weighed the mattresses and observed how they were able to fold easily to cover the sides of the crib with sheets. We also put a weight of 8 pounds which is slightly heavier than the weight of a newborn baby, on each mattress to see how it reacts. The most effective mattresses did not sink into the mattress and therefore offer enough support to protect your child from falling out of bed while they sleep or to suffocate. The mattresses we tested had a removable cover that can be machine-washed and is water-proof. This makes cleaning and maintaining them a breeze.

Crib Rails

A crib would be incomplete without the right set of fixed rails. Some furniture companies for babies provide Baby beds rails in the crib. Others offer them separately. If you choose to purchase them separately, look for rails that meet the safety requirements. They should, for instance have no loose screws, brackets, and other hardware. They should be strong enough to support your child's weight, but not too thin. They must also be secured in a secure way so they are not able to be removed by your child.

The crib rails should not only be strong and sturdy, but they should also fit within the frame of the crib. This will keep the mattress from becoming too flimsy and potentially risky for your child. Be sure to measure inside the crib frame prior to purchasing the crib rail. There are slight variations in the crib sizes. The ideal space should not be more than three fingers wide.

It is also important to make sure the crib rails are free of cut-outs for decorative purposes and other ornaments, which can be potential dangers for suffocation. Avoid placing pillows, quilts blankets, sheepskins and blankets inside the crib. They can result in a dangerous accumulation of carbon dioxide increasing your baby's SIDS risk. Try a crib cover-and-pad combo if you want a soft sleeping mattress for your cheap baby cots. They consist of mattress pads with waterproof lining and an adjustable "skirt" that wraps over the mattress, much like an oversized sheet.

Lastly, you'll want to find the best crib rail protectors. They are designed to cushion the baby's head when it comes into contact with the crib railings as you're feeding him or her or cradling them on the bed. They can also prevent teeth marks and drool staining on the crib's side railings that are fixed.

Once your infant cot bed outgrows the crib, you'll require a toddler guard rail to keep your child safe in the bed until they're ready to move on to an adult bed. Sweetpea Baby offers a convertible crib toddler rail that will fit on most cribs that are standard. It's simple to install and is compliant with the safety standards of the CPSC.

Crib Hardware

Certain crib design elements are strictly aesthetic and are based on personal taste, but others -- like the design of the slats on the crib or whether it converts into a toddler bed -can have a major impact on the user-friendliness of the crib and its lifespan. The best cribs have solid wood construction, meet multiple safety standards, and are easily adaptable to various mattress heights. Some cribs have special features that make them more useful. For example, the Quick Zip Crib Sheet allows you to change the sheets without having to take off the entire mattress.

Generally, you want to avoid cribs with decorative cut-outs, or other decorations that could catch on clothing or create a choking risk for children. Check the crib hardware for loose bolts and other items that could snag on objects or clothing.

The most effective crib sets come with easy-to-follow instructions and all the essential components, like hardware. Most modern cribs take a half hour or less to assemble, and a majority include all the tools you'll need.

You might also want to consider a convertible crib that can transform into a toddler bed, daybed or a full-size bed. This is a good option for families who intend to use the crib for many years or have a limited space. Be aware that some crib conversion kits require additional items to complete the process.

It can be difficult to comprehend crib hardware, but it is vital to ensure safety and stability. Most cribs are equipped with an arrangement of rectangular blocks, wedges (also called "shims") and huge chocks, also known as step chocks, all designed to secure the contact points between the crib and supported surface.

Some shims and chocks are made from soft woods that break slowly, and can give audible warnings before they fail, while stiffer wooden materials may break suddenly and with greater force. The shims and chocks are made of plastic and can also be purchased. They are simpler to install, since they do not require drilling into the surface.
