Bambi Baby: When To Shop For A Crib
Getting the baby's room ready is a major step in preparing for their arrival. With all the necessary parts that go into preparing for your little one, having ample time to set up the nursery is crucial. The most important piece of furniture to buy? The crib, of course! A crib is obviously the most crucial piece of furniture for a baby's nursery. Once a baby has grown out of a bassinet in your room, they can finally sleep peacefully in their own room and in their own bed. Cribs ensure that babies will not roll out while sleeping, and that they are safe during all naps and night stretches. Cribs come in a traditional style, where they will remain a crib, or they come in different variations of transitioning - shifting from a crib to a toddler, day bed, and a full-sized bed when baby is ready. This promises babies will have a safe and consistent place to stay into their young adult life.
When to order: Best to order when mama is somewhere between 25 & 30 weeks along. This will still give you a great amount of time to set it up. If you are considering co-sleeping with your little one for the first six months to a year, a crib can be the last purchase. Note: Even though you may be planning on placing your little one in a bassinet for the first few months to a year of their life, allowing them to nap in their crib is also a great way to introduce them early, and their transition will be smooth when that time comes! Companies like Oxford, Stella, and Westwood Design offer incredible cribs that are timeless and reliable.
Beautifully crafted furniture by Oxford is composed of the finest hardwoods and veneers which help depict its characteristic design, and provide a safe and sturdy sleeping space for babies. Available in countless different collections, styles, and colors to match all parents’ tastes, Oxford will truly forever be timeless. Most of the collections through Oxford are 4-in-1 convertible, and first provides the baby with an incredibly sturdy and wonderful crib. The crib then converts easily into a toddler, day bed, and full sized adult bed with a full paneled headboard and footboard. This forever bed provides the consistency a baby needs to properly grow from their young life and well into their teenage years. To convert to a toddler bed, Oxford suggests the immediate purchase of the necessary toddler rail that matches the vintage white finish perfectly. This rail not only extends the use of the crib, but also provides your toddler independence by allowing them to climb in and out of bed as they choose.
