Baby Bed is not the only item that you will need to ensure a good night’s sleep for your baby.
This blog post is a comprehensive attempt to make sure you get everything you will need on one page.
Read on.
Introduction
I speak from experience when I say that the first six-eight months in the life of a baby are exhausting for the parents.
Baby’s sleep patterns are irregular and waking up just when you were about to sleep is a common phenomenon.
Sleepwalking and sleeping with the baby in your lap is not uncommon.
I understand.
My son Atharva has just turned 6 months old and he still wakes up at least three to four times every night for milk etc.
There are multiple products that I think can help new parents to adjust & make their lives easier.
There are also some other posts that I think you should read if you have young babies.
The Perfect Baby Proofing Checklist will prove helpful if you have babies that are nearing 6 months of age.
Let us now take a look at some useful baby sleeping products
1. Baby Beds
The Need For Baby Beds
Do you share a bed with your infant?
Does your baby sleep with you?
I know that in India mothers and babies sleep together and very often it is considered a form of affection and families often frown if the baby is made to sleep in a separate Baby bed.
I think with time, the new generation is definitely coming out of this mindset and buying baby beds for their newborns.
I don’t mean to scare you but a study, published in the journal Pediatrics, found that among 8,207 infant deaths from 24 US states occurring between 2004-2012, 69% of infants were bed-sharing at the time of death. (article from Medical News Today)
Read this screenshot from the same website. (SIDS in the screenshot means sudden infant death syndrome)
Although SIDS is not a major problem in India, It is important to understand what it is and how to avoid it.
Please google SIDS to know more.
Let us now take a look at some of the best Baby beds in India:
