How to Choose Your Baby's First Bed

The arrival of a baby is an exciting time filled with important decisions, with the choice of bed being a crucial step. Sleep is fundamental for your child's development, and a good bed can greatly contribute to their well-being. The experienced Les Petits team offers you in this article a guide to help you choose the best bed for your baby by taking into account all the important features and valuable advice we can offer. In this article, we will reveal the best solutions and tips adapted to your needs by presenting our wide range of products available at Les Petits.

 

The first step in choosing the best baby bed is to determine the type of bed suited to the baby and their needs, as well as the parents' needs. Additionally, it is important to consider the space dedicated to your baby and adapt the bed according to the space where they will sleep, whether it is a child's room or near the parents in the family bedroom. The choice of bed for your baby depends on their age, but also on their evolving needs in terms of comfort and safety. Les Petits therefore offers baby beds adapted to the different stages of the baby's age and supports them throughout their growth to ensure optimal comfort and safety.

 

For this, Les Petits offers you a range of different types of beds to help you better understand their specific features.

From birth up to about 3 months, the bassinet proves to be the optimal initial choice. Its lightness and cozy cocoon provide a comforting atmosphere, similar to that felt in the maternal womb, thus promoting peaceful sleep for the newborn. Lightweight and easily portable, it offers a reassuring and cozy environment. It also provides better closeness by allowing you to keep your baby near you within the parental bedroom. However, its use is limited in time as it quickly becomes too small as your baby grows.

From 3 to 6 months, the cradle takes over by offering a bit more space while remaining compact and easily mobile thanks to its wheels, which proves practical for parents. During this phase, the baby begins to explore their environment and needs a more open space for movement. Often equipped with wheels and sometimes rocking mechanisms to soothe your baby, it generally offers a feeling of protection in a reduced space. Nevertheless, this type of bed remains suitable for newborns and therefore needs to be changed quickly as the baby grows.

Les Petits therefore recommends a selection of bassinets and cradles from the brand Charlie Crane. Portable and available in a wide range of colors and patterns, the KUKO bassinet will offer all the comfort your baby will need for sleep, while the KUMI CRADLE cradles, with their elegant and refined design, will enhance the baby's room.
