Round cribs have the same beautiful woodwork and rich finishes as traditional baby cribs, but the round shape adds a contemporary look to the crib while there are no corners for baby to get into. Round cribs tuck easily into a corner or baby can take center stage in or near the center of a room for baby’s optical stimulation while being seen by parents from any part of the room. Round cribs can feature canopies with designs that coordinate with other nursery decor. There are multiple birth cribs that go together or come apart as needed. Avoid co-bedding which is placing more than one baby in a crib, since babies need space for moving and developing those large and small muscles. These rectangle cribs and round cribs are sold at Look at the list on the left side of the front page and click on Baby Cribs. 

As baby grows, baby is going to be moving about and developing large and small muscles. Crib safety is important during all the monthly ages and stages of baby development. In fact, you need to find and use all those safety factors for baby, baby’s room and your home. Always, at any age, hold baby while baby is on the changing dresser, table, bed or anything. Never leave growing and developing baby alone anywhere except sleeping in baby’s safe crib. Keep the mattress base at the lowest setting as baby begins turning over and moving around. Keep all small objects away from baby’s reach, get cabinet locks, drawer locks and gates. At four to six months, baby could hold baby’s head steady in a sitting position. Continue to support baby’s back and head when lifting bay until baby can hold up baby’s head when sitting alone. If there are any questions about baby’s safety, development or health, be sure to read the good baby books and talk with baby’s doctor.

At about finve months, baby may be rolling over, playing with baby’s toes and even sucking baby’s toes. Play tummy time games with baby. Make sure baby gets enough time on baby’s tummy during the day while awake and supervised. These activities can include handling, diapering, positioning and playing. The tummy times promote muscle development in the neck and shoulders, while building the muscles needed to roll, sit and walk. They prevent tight neck muscles and help prevent flat areas on the back of the head. Around six to eight months, baby could bring objects to baby’s mouth at will, bang objects on the table, drop one toy, to reach for another and could sit alone. When baby is nene to ten months of age, baby can have good hand-eye coordination, pick up small objects with a pincer grasp and pull self to a standing position. Just remove all objects from low tables and low furniture. Fasten bookcases and other furniture to the wall. Let baby explore in a baby safe environment, gain confidence and develop thse large and small muscles with mother’s supervision. At ten to eleven months of age, baby’s large muscle development could include beginning to crawl backward instead of forward, scooting along on baby’s bottom or sliding on the tummy when baby is on the floor. Around nine to eleven months baby could begin walking sideways while holding on to a sturdy table with mother’s supervision. Continue playing gently with baby through all of these ages and stages of baby development.There are so many cute games in the good baby books. The games help with developmental growth of every kind. We all need to remember that this exercise helps the development of small muscles for sphincter control that needs to happen before complete potty training can occur.

After seeing the mathematically correct and precisely carved underground earthen interior, we walked outside to board the tour bus. What a surprise, when we saw no vehicles in sight but saw some people carrying gelato cones placed in holes in trays. The milk had been pasteurized. the gelato was amazing. Skim milk had been used and there was almost no sugar. It slaked the thirst magnificently. One person said that this is the way we need to eat all of our lives. Just as parents need to take care of baby growing through all the stages of childhood development, parents need to take care of themselves.

Baby Cribs Communique

The first baby crib was made by St. Francis of Assissi, who, when visiting Bethlehem in 1222, was impressed by the simplicity of the way of life there. The first baby crib made as we view it today, was created of marble by Arnolfo di Cambio in Italy in 1283. That was the first rectangle baby crib.

Two basic cribs are the rectangle baby crib and the round baby crib. Although rectangle baby cribs have a long history, round baby cribs were developed rather recently. A baby crib is specifically designed for only one baby. Baby spends most of baby’s time sleeping, especially at first. The baby crib is intended to provide a safe place for baby to sleep.

When preparing for baby, do not use an old baby crib with broken spindles, missing pieces or projecting parts that can injure baby as baby begins to move around the crib. A new crib assembled correctly with well designed parts will have a strong fit together and create a good baby bed. If you have a problem assembling one of our www.developingbabyfurniture.com high quality baby cribs, contact us for assistance.

A good quality baby crib can be made of hardwoods, various metals, or injection molded super-strong Lexan plastic that’s tested at the U.S. Testing Laboratories. Lexan was developed by N.A.S.A. (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). Non-toxic paints, strong hardware, a multi-positional base, a safe sure-lock base, an anti-microbial base, a firm mattress, no formaldehyde, and each spindle anchored into the two sides of the support arc or rectangle. These are other high quality baby crib features. Our baby cribs include these features while meeting or exceeding the safety requirements of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The following points help prevent S.I.D.S. (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). Use the free round baby crib high density firm mattress made specifically for the round crib you purchase. Measure the baby crib and purchase a firm high density crib mattress that fits the rectangle baby crib you purchase. Use the fitted sheets made for your high density firm baby crib mattress. Place no soft bedding on the mattress under baby. A high density firm mattress is best for baby. Tuck blankets or comforters down around the crib mattress and use baby bumpers. We have baby crib bedding sets created specifically for each of our baby cribs at www.developingbabyfurniture.com  Do not place toys or pillows in the baby crib with new born baby or while baby is sleeping. Do not place baby in parents’ beds or childrens’ beds. When baby is awake, change baby’s position often.

A rectangle baby crib is usually placed against a wall. A round baby crib can be placed “in the middle of a room” for baby’s 360 degree increased visual stimulation. There’s 360 degree observation of baby from the parents’ point of view. Do not place a crib in the sun or near a window with blind or curtain cords. Do not place mobiles or other hanging visual stimulation toys within baby’s reach. Remove these toys when baby can push up on baby’s hand or knees. We do not want baby entangled in anything. The adjustable baby crib with the multi-positional baby crib base is needed as baby grows and becomes more active.

At www.developingbabyfurniture.com our baby cribs have those high quality construction features and contain some extra features. Our rectangle baby crib measures approximately : 49″H X 30″W X 56″L and has both an elaborately hand-carved headboard and footboard. Carvings enhance baby’s visual stimulation. Our country French round baby cribs measure an approximately 46″ Diameter, while out other round baby cribs measure an approximately 45″ Diameter.

Our 45″Diameter round baby cribs are designed with two moveable sides, with each measuring a full 11 inches, for easier care of baby. Petite and c-section mothers really like these features. Multiple births are increasing. Our Duetta round baby crib is made for twins, triplets, quads, quints and octuplets at www.developingbabyfurniture.com  It is important that multiple birth babies can see each other, reach out and touch each other and generally socialize. This socialization is so important since these babies socialized together in utero or inside the uterus. These multiple birth round baby cribs have all of the high quality baby crib features.

Additionally, the Duetta round baby crib in any of its configurations, makes a great secondary baby crib for the workplace, daycare facility, place of worship and/or grandparenting.

Now for fun! Play with baby. When lifting the newborn baby slide your arm under baby with your hand under baby’s head, keeping the head level with the rest of baby’s body that’s on top of  your arm. Use this method to pick up and carry baby until baby can lift baby’s head independently. Carry baby around every day and allow baby to look at different things. Talk with baby, tell baby what you are doing and what baby is doing and seeing. Show baby objects of different colors. Move the objects around and talk about the colors. When baby is older and staying awake for longer periods of time, gently play bicycle push: Lay baby on baby’s back. Take baby’s feet in your hands and gently move baby’s legs up and down as if pedaling a bicycle. There are more games to play as baby develops through the stages of baby’s growth.
