This will keep it clean and free of dribbles leaky diapers, and spit-up. It's an excellent idea to choose a product that is able to be disassembled and dismantled in parts, so that you can access all the corners and crevices for a thorough cleaning and sanitising.

When selecting a crib for your bedside take into consideration whether it comes with extra features that may be beneficial to you. For example, some have the ability to rock (useful for fussy sleepers) or tilt – although be aware that you should only use this feature with care as it could be dangerous if your child is thrown out. You'll also want to make sure that your crib or travel cot is a flat and firm mattress that is able to fit snugly into the frame.
