What is a cradle?

A cradle is a secure and comfortable sleeping place for newborn babies. Especially in the first months it is important that your little one has a sense of security, just like in the womb. The cradle is the perfect preparation before the switch to a different type of bed, like a crib. The cradle is smaller in size, which benefits sleeping behavior.

Different types of cradles

Nowadays you can choose a crib in all directions: from traditional models with bars to a modern trendy design. Cradles are available in all kinds, for example in a rectangular or round shape, as co-sleepers and rocking cradles. Co-sleepers give the option to lower or remove one side of the cradle when it is placed next to the parental bed. Most of the co-sleepers are also suitable as normal cradle. The rocking cradle is useful for rocking your little one to sleep peacefully. Do not forget to take it out of the rocking position when your baby goes to sleep alone.

A safe cradle must of course meet various safety requirements. Below we list the general guidelines for sleeping in a cradle:
