This is the beginning of your baby’s life. Give your baby a healthy and safe start. The baby crib is the most important piece of furniture in any nursery. It is the place where your young baby will spend most of baby’s time. Even newborn babies are social. They love to be touched, held cuddled, cooed to, and smiled at. When socialization time is over and sleepy time arrives, place baby on a firm mattress, in baby’s high quality correctly assembled baby crib.

Make certain that the baby crib has been prepared for safe sleeping in order to help prevent S.I.D.S. (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). There can be many other causitive factors in this syndrome. However, remove pillows, quilts, comforters, sheepskins, toys, soft toys, and other soft products from the baby crib. Consider using a sleeper outfit with no other covering as an alternative to blankets. If using a blanket, comforter blanket, or coverlet that wraps around the sides and under the mattress, place baby with feet near the foot of the baby crib. Tuck the coverlet around each side of the mattress and under the mattress, reaching only as high as baby’s chest. Make sure your baby’s head remains uncovered during sleep. Never place baby on a waterbed, sofa, soft mattress, pillow or other such surface to sleep. Keep the mattress at the lowest level. Keep the baby crib sides completely up.

Place the baby crib in a safe place in the room. Do not place baby’s crib eiher near a window, a radiator, heat and cooling vents, in the sun or too near a wall. If you live in a house or an apartment built before 1978, a lead abatement professional needs to check any painted wall for lead. Your child can get lead poisoning if baby breathes lead dust or fumes or swallows anything with lead in it. Lead poisoning in babies and older children can cause learning disabilities, hyperactivity and other neurological problems. I fthere is lead paint in your home, the lead paint needs to be completely removed by a lead abatement professional or covered with an approved sealant. Make sure no babies, older children or pets are in the home during the lead paint removal process. Once the lead paint has been removed, the walls can either be painted with latex, plastic-based or enamel paint or covered with water-resistant wallpaper.

While we’re thinking of painting and wall coverings, we’re reminded of baby bedding and the choice of baby bedding sets. Attractive fabrics such as cottons, synthetics, chenille, faux furs, velvet, and silk with visually stimulating colors and patterns are available for baby. There is a choice of non-toxic baby crib color finishes. All of these features enable the color coordinating and decoration of baby’s room. Since mother spends so much time in baby’s room, mother needs to have a theme and colors that she enjoys. There are rectangle baby cribs, round baby cribs and heart shaped baby cribs that are an adaptation of round baby cribs and have no corners. Winnie-the-Pooh round baby cribs, round baby cribs and rectangle baby cribs with hand, carving, round baby cribs with round legs, injection molded Lexan durable hard plastic dura cribs, round baby cribs with canopies, hardwood baby cribs with no formaldehyde and non-toxic finishes.

Thanks to high-tech developments, we know something about twin and other multiple birth babies’ interaction in utero. each twin is constantly interacting with the other mate in utero just as the other multiple birth babies interact in utero. Twins have a special capacity for supporting each other because of the very early common intrauterine experiences, just as the other multiple birth children. Co-regulatory activities sen in preterm twins during co-bedding (placing twins in the same baby bed) include moving closer, touching, holding, hugging, rooting, sucking on each other, smiling and being awake at the same time. Placing two (or more) growing, developing babies in the same crib can cause entanglement in tubing and other medical equipment, crowding and can spread disease. Multiple birth cribs for twins, triplets, quadruplets and quintuplets fasten together. The twin, triplet and other multiple birth babies can see each other closely, smile at each other, move closer, reach out and touch each other, engage in other socialization and have space to exercise large and small muscles as they grow and develop in their baby cribs. These safe and healthy multiple birth baby cribs create environments are conducive to healthy multiple birth baby interactive socialization and small baby play with each other and with mother. the multiple birth cribs were designed and developed by a mother of twins.

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.

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.
