How to choose a place for a crib?
If there is a cot, then worry about the comfort and safety for your baby. Observe some rules.
- To prevent the child from overheating, do not put a baby crib near the heaters. The temperature in the room should be maintained from 18 degrees to 22 degrees. Then, hypothermia or overheating will not threaten the child.
- Remove from the room carpets and carpets, since it is impossible to completely remove dust from them. Put the books in a bookcase with glass closing doors. Because dust is a good medium for the development of microbes, such as streptococci, salmonella, staphylococcus and others.
- Tobacco smoke should not enter the children's room. If the room is adjacent to a balcony where the head of the family "smokes," the father will have to change his habits in the interests of the child.
- A room with a balcony is an excellent place for a baby's bed. Fresh air will help harden the child, which will increase the resistance of the child's body to various colds. The child is very calm and well asleep in the fresh air. Fresh air has an excellent effect on the child's nervous system. For the full development of the child, airing is a prerequisite, and if there are drafts in the room, it is better to curtain the sides of the bed with a dense cloth.
- There are often disputes that it is necessary to isolate the children's room from noise. The child thus will get used to sleep in silence and can wake up from the slightest rustle. You have to postpone all the cases when the child is sleeping. But if the kid constantly hears quiet voices, rhythmic noise of the street and different sounds, they can not prevent a good sleep. And my mother, not afraid to scare or wake the baby, can calmly do his own business. A blooming music center, computer, TV can damage the nervous system of the baby.
