Which is the best one on the market for your budget?
Before you go to the mall or shop online, check out this article first. We’ve done research for you on the best crib brands for babies in the Philippines.
Safety tips for using a baby crib
Before we start with our rundown of the best cribs, we would like to share with you some safety precautions from Healthy Children that you should take when it comes to your little one’s sleeping area.
- Make sure there are no small objects like toy parts, safety pins, and loose items in the crib that your child can possibly swallow.
- Consider safety from SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) also when choosing a crib. Choose a mattress that’s not too soft and it should be the right size for the crib so there are no spaces that can trap any part of the baby’s body.
- Don’t leave loose blankets, soft toys, pillows, and even crib bumpers in the crib area. This can suffocate your little one. If you’re worried that your child will get cold, you can dress him in a sleep sack.
- Ensure that there are no dangling strings, cords, pacifier cords, necklaces, and the like near the crib.
- If the crib you’re getting has slats, it is recommended that these should not be more than 6cm apart so your child’s head or legs can’t be trapped in between.
- Do not forget to inspect the crib for damages such as loose parts, sharp edges, and the like. Replace immediately if there’s anything missing or broken.
What to look for in a crib for baby in the Philippines
- Safety – Check if it has features to make sure your baby sleeps safely and sound while in it. Take into account the tips above as well.
- Comfort – Is it airy? What other features does it have to ensure your baby’s comfort?
- Other features – Take note if it’s easy to store, clean, and maintain.
