Basic Nursery Safety Tips

When baby is on the way, new moms have much on their minds – decorating the nursery, arranging finances, whether to stay at home or go back to work, and the many changes in their bodies from pregnancy. However, one of the most important aspects of being a new mom is creating a safe nursery for your new baby.

Many moms will find a quality used crib or hand-me-down, opposed to purchasing a new one.

Of course, when shopping for used cribs, keep safety in mind:

Ensure the crib is in good shape, and is fairly new (to avoid potential for lead paint). Antique cribs should be avoided.
Measure the space between the slats. The gap should be no more than 2-3/8 inches. Also, make sure there are no slats missing.
Also, check the rail height. To do this, lower the mattress to its lowest position and raise the sides of the crib. Then, measure from the top of the side rails down to the mattress support, to ensure there is at least 26 inches between the two.
Although cut-outs in the head or foot of the crib are decorative and very beautiful, avoid cribs that have them. A baby’s head can get trapped in the open spaces.
Check the four corner posts to make sure they are even with the end panels. They can be as much as 1/16th of an inch above the end panels, but no more. This lessens the risk of baby’s clothing catching which could be a strangulation hazard.
Is all the hardware included? If there is any hardware missing, pass on this crib and move on to the next.

Once you choose a crib, make sure you check this safety list so your baby can sleep safely.

Place the crib in the room away from all windows. Window blinds and curtain cords can get tangled around baby’s neck.
Check the mattress itself. It should fit snugly into the crib. If there is a gap between the crib and the mattress large enough for you to fit two fingers, it is not safe. Do not stuff the gap with a blanket. You need a new crib or mattress.
Avoid using quilts, blankets or pillows in baby’s crib.
Do not create your own waterproofing by using garbage bags or dry-cleaning bags. They can stick to baby’s face, cutting off breathing.
Install a smoke detector in baby’s room or in the hallway outside the room. Replace the batteries every 6 months.
Of course, always put baby to sleep on his back.
