Choosing a Baby Crib for Any Style and Budget The first, and probably most important thing, you will need to find for your upcoming arrival is where baby will sleep. Not only will it likely be your biggest investment, but it will also be where your baby spends a substantial amount of his time when he isn't in your arms. While the aesthetics of the crib are a matter of personal taste, there are several things to keep in mind when making a purchase. The safety of your crib is the most important aspect. While you may be tempted to save a little money by purchasing a secondhand crib, you should be careful before going forward. Vintage or antique cribs may have bars that are too far apart, which could lead to little heads and other body parts getting caught between them. Additionally, cribs made as recently as five or ten years ago may have a drop side. Many of these cribs have been shown to be a hazard, because occasionally the sides will drop without being activated, and baby can get caught or fall out of the crib.
Falls even from this height can be dangerous for a newborn. If you do purchase a drop-side crib, or inherent one from a friend or family member, ask the manufacturer about a conversion kit to change the crib into a stationary side. Nursery Size and Location Once you've ensured the crib you want is within modern safety requirements, you'll need to make sure it will work for your needs. If baby will be in the same room as you for awhile, you might opt against a full sized crib in favor of a smaller mini crib, or you may get a separate sleeping location, like a co-sleeper or bassinet, to use before moving little one into the actual crib. Sleeping options for a newborn baby include: Bedside Sleepers These are small sleep spaces that connect to your bed directly. This allows baby to sleep in the same bed as you within arm's reach, but without the risk of rolling over on top of him in the night and other safety risk factors when bed sharing. Bassinets Bassinets, or cradles, are commonly used because they are small enough to fit most anywhere, but still allow baby to have his own sleep space.
They can also be moved to another room more easily to allow baby to sleep in the room with you as you move around. Mini/Portable Cribs, many of which have wheels at the bottom to make them portable, are one option that works well for families with smaller homes or nurseries. They are also suitable when baby will be sharing a room with you, or a sibling, for extended periods of time, since they don't take up much more space than a play yard or larger bassinet, but they are sturdier for older babies. They also usually have adjustable mattress heights to accommodate babies who have learned to sit up or stand. Your personal style is also important when choosing a baby crib. There are a wide range of colors available, including most wood grains, white, gray, and many modern designs as well. Some can even be made to look like an antique, but it will feature modern functions to keep baby safer and more secure. There are also various shapes and style from which to choose. Round cribs offer a modern appeal, while convertible cribs and sleigh cribs offer a more compact design as well as an elegant appearance.
Cribs that Grow with your Child Longevity isn't something many people think of when they consider a crib, but today's crib can be purchased with the future in mind. A 2 in 1 crib will usually convert into a toddler bed once baby is ready. Additionally, 3 in 1 and 4 in 1 cribs can generally convert into day beds, full sized beds, or twin beds as well as a toddler bed. Ready to find the right crib for you?

I’ve been on the fence about doing a nursery or not, but when I saw this? It was all over. (Check out the full tour on Refinery29) Doesn’t the sight of it just make you want to have a baby?! Just so they can be so cute and squishy in this little cradle?
When you look at the design it looks extremely simple. Canvas, dowels, some hardware and rope. Like make it in an afternoon simple. But hello, its for a brand new baby. This is where the DIY line gets a little terrifying. So lets go over it. There’s totally a learning curve. Do I want to remake this thing a few times to make sure that its right? Here’s the other thing, even if I did make it, there is no way I would ever post a tutorial. Because hello, other people’s brand new babies. That post would keep me up at night, and I don’t think that I’m going to need help in that area.It would be a fun project. I’d save a ton of money and I could make it exactly how I wanted it. Ok so luckily it wasn’t too hard to track the maker down, its made by a company called Kindekeklein in Holland (don’t worry, they ship to the US). The longer I was on their site, the more I knew it was exactly what I wanted for this little nugget. I fretted about it all weekend.
Its not the cheapest option (especially because with both of the girls we co-slept so Court thinks we might not even use it) but after still fighting to get Dyl out of our bed I have made a resolve to not let the past repeat itself. I wanted something, I needed something! I love how it gently bounces and rocks because of the giant spring at the top. Its like being in a hammock (which is the best place to be ever!!), Now granted, it could get wild if you had a small child that wanted to “push” the baby, but with Ivie and Dyl being older that isn’t a concern in our house. You know what is a concern? The fact that I have cactus everywhere and my house has to be made child-proof again. Ultimately I decided to fork out $300 for the cradle and extra hardware (so we could hang it in the nursery and in the master by my bed). I’ve never actually seen anything like it in real life as a point of reference to learn from and also because I don’t know how to DIY a baby friendly mattress (freaky!!).
