FAQ
What is the best age to transition a baby to a crib?
Most babies can start sleeping in a crib between 3 to 6 months of age, once they outgrow a bassinet and can roll over on their own
Are baby beds safe for newborns?
Yes, as long as they meet safety standards. Make sure the baby bed has a firm mattress, tight-fitting sheet, and no soft bedding or toys.
What size mattress fits a standard baby crib?
A standard crib mattress is usually 52 inches long by 28 inches wide and should fit snugly with no more than two fingers' width between the mattress and crib frame.
What’s the difference between a crib and a bassinet?
A bassinet is smaller, portable, and often used for newborns up to 3–4 months. A crib is larger and can be used until your child is around 2–3 years old.
Can I use second-hand baby beds?
Yes, but check for recalls, loose parts, and make sure the slats are no more than 2 3/8 inches apart to prevent entrapment.
