Matching the Comfort Requirements of Your Toddler While Converting Baby Cribs Into Toddler Beds

Unlike the adults who grow till a certain age limit, children grow quite consistently. Baby growing into a toddler and toddler growing into a boy or girl is a period of transition that parents should handle with care and caution. To match the comfort level of the toddlers while not alienating them from their known environment it may be necessary converting baby cribs into toddler beds.

Considerations in Conversion

Convertible Crib And Changer

A few considerations would be important while converting the baby cribs into toddler beds.

• Movement from crib to toddler bed could be an uneasy transaction for both parent as well as the child.

• Either when the child reaches the height of 36" or its chest levels with the railing of the cribs, it would be appropriate time to move the toddler to bed from the crib.

• Usually the conversion becomes necessary when the baby reaches the age of 18 months to 42 months.

When the Toddler is Ready for Conversion

It is important determining the exact time when the toddler becomes ready for the conversion. When the child that is potty trained and require using bathroom in the night or when the toddler is trying to climb from the crib, it would be the ripe time moving the toddler to bed from the crib. Also the moving of toddler to his or her own bed would be appropriate while little changes are taking place around. It could be very useful discussing the change with the child so that he or she can really appreciate the necessity.

Precautions on Conversion

It is required taking certain precautions while converting the cribs into toddler bed. Installation of child safety gets or safe yard panes would be a couple of steps in the right direction. Another great way would be involving the toddler in the conversion process since picking up own bed is always one of the exciting prospects for the child.

In any case, safety of the child would be the primary concern for parents in any conversion. The child will be moving from the comparatively safe environment of cribs to the open arena of the bed and he or she may not be acquainted with the safety measures while sleeping on the open bed.

Bed railings at small heights would be a feasible solution for the problem.

Baby Sleeping Tips - Easy Remedies For Baby Sleep Problems

Are there evenings when you feel that your baby's sleeping patterns will never be regulated? Can you imagine a time when your baby will sleep long enough for the two of you to feel refreshed and rested? Parents know that there is no way to avoid the occasional night in the nursery rocker, but how can we keep those nights with baby sleeping very little or not at all to a bare minimum?

Convertible Crib And Changer

A common question that new parents ask is, "How long will it be before we can get baby sleeping on a schedule?" or "When will we be able to sleep through the night without waking up a dozen times?" Does this sound like you on your last visit to the pediatrician? Some lucky parents brag that they have never been plagued with sleep problems at all but the answer to those common questions according to the experts is that the average time when babies start sleeping through the night is a year or so.

Convertible Crib And Changer

When you are sleep deprived and can hardly keep your eyes open the last thing you want to hear is that you will have to wait a year or more for relief. Some desperate moms have even questioned why there are sleeping pills for grownups and no baby sleeping aids or remedies. I believe in the natural approach to parenting whenever possible, but I have to admit succumbing to panic due to exhaustion myself. However, I knew that I needed methods to help my baby sleep naturally. In my search I found a few things that worked and I am more than happy to share my methods with you.

The first lesson may be easiest and yet the most important: don't wait until a few minutes before bedtime to start fretting about how to get baby to sleep. I found that the best way to get an infant to sleep at night starts with a routine that's put into practice as early as possible.

(1. Design the nursery to be an ideal sleep environment. Create a space that can be darkened easily through the use of room darkening window treatments.

(2. Locate the nursery in a quiet part of your home and have some method of creating white noise to block out street traffic and household chatter.

(3. Take time to read the telltale signs that your baby is sleepy. When baby gets fussy or when your see the eyelids droop, stop what you are doing and kick off the bedtime routine. Don't miss this opportunity or you may regret it. Babies can go from the drowsy stage to hyperactive, unhappy creatures with a second wind in record time. If there ever was an instance in parenting when timing is important, this could be it.

Every mother's process for relaxing her baby is unique, there is no definite set of rules for what should be involved. Whatever your baby sleeping routine works out to be; stick to it. Try not to vary from it from day to day. The best way to an ideal baby sleep routine, relies on mom having a routine.
You will have a calmer and more confident child if you are so predictable that baby always knows exactly what happens next.

(4. Stick closely to a schedule. Have a certain time that you dress baby for the crib. A mother whose newborn had an erratic sleeping pattern shared with me that she stuck to a rigid routine for over a week and almost crumbled more than once. Then almost magically the baby began to respond and started to stick with an early bedtime.

(5. If baby seems unhappy or fussy, many mothers have had excellent results with baby slings. It makes sense that some babies need some time to adjust to the world. These sensitive souls miss the motion of your body and feeling close to you at all times. Perhaps the use of a sling will get you through this period of adjustment and allow you to get a few chores done while you're at it.

(6. Another way to ease baby into our strange world is with white noise. There are white noise machines that closely mimic the sounds that are common in your womb, but if your budget is tight a table fan may do the trick.

(7. How many nights have we put our little ones to sleep only to have them get wide awake, when they feel the change in temperature from our arms to the cold crib sheet? A solution to this baby sleep problem is to put a warm water bottle inside the baby's bed as part of your bedtime routine. When the time comes for you to put baby into her crib, remove the water bottle and slip baby into the warm and cozy crib.

The list of baby sleeping tips could go on and on. What works for one baby might not produce results with another. However, calm, loving persistence and repetition will be the basic building blocks for developing your newborn's regular sleeping patterns that will relax her and let both of you start sleeping like a baby.

How to Baby Proof Your Home

Is your baby crawling, and pulling himself up on everything?
Then it's time to baby proof your house. Here are some ideas to
help you make your home safe for your baby and how to baby proof
your home.

Convertible Crib And Changer

Keep all cords on your curtains or drapes tied up and out of
your baby's reach. Your baby could get entangled in them, or
the cord could get wrapped around his neck. Don't ever put a
crib or playpen next to a window with reachable cords.

Convertible Crib And Changer

Install window guards so your baby can't fall through the
screens on windows that are above ground level. Adjust the
window guards so you can't open the window more than 6 inches.
Also, protect your screen door with a safety gate so your child
can't fall through.

Cover electrical outlets with plastic covers to prevent baby
from sticking things in them.

Move electrical cords out of your baby's reach. Place them
behind furniture so your baby doesn't chew on them, or pull a
heavy object on top of him.

Attach unstable furniture (i.e. bookcases or dressers) to the
wall so baby can't pull them down on himself.

Get rid of houseplants or move them out of your baby's reach.
Houseplants can be pulled down on your baby and chances are the
plants could be poisonous.

Put gates at the top and bottom of stairs to prevent baby from
falling down the stairs.

Place corner guards or cushioned strips on coffee tables or
anything that has any sharp corners. If your baby could fall
into it and its sharp, cover it up.

Lock the garage and any hobby areas. The garage is usually where
all of the poisonous household cleaners are kept, and you don't
want your baby to get hold of small objects he could choke on.

Keep your baby out of home offices. Pens, paper shredders, and
electrical cords pose possible threats.

Put child proof handles on certain doors to keep your baby from
entering the rooms you don't want him in.

Keep bathroom doors shut, use baby gates, or use a toilet lock
so your baby can't fall into the toilet and drown.

Get down on your baby's level and remove anything within three
feet of his reach that may be dangerous.

Get cabinet locks for the kitchen and bathroom so your baby
can't get into the trash or anything poisonous underneath the
sink

Some common household items that you may consider putting up out
of reach of your baby are: string, balloons, spare change,
needles, sewing supplies, alcoholic beverages, cleaning
supplies, candy, batteries, guns, knifes, perfumes, cosmetics,
razors, jewelry, light bulbs, candles, matches or lighters,
marbles, scissors, letter openers, pens, pencils, etc. These are
just a few hazardous items around the house that could cause
injury or death. Be on the lookout for these and similar
objects.

Hopefully this will help give you some ideas on how to baby proof
your home and make it safe for you and your baby.

Convertible Crib And Changer

You can find different kinds of tables like this from different stores like those stores that sell several nursery furnishings. These locations are the best places to find a cheap baby changing table at a very affordable price. However, you may think that you're spending more since you'll typically get furnishings that are sold in pieces instead of sets.

Baby Gear on a Budget - Where NOT to Compromise For a Good Price

A first time mom on a budget has many decisions to make about what baby gear is necessary and what is not. One trip to the nearest Babies R Us is all that it will take to make her dizzy with dollar signs and choices. There are so many items that babies "need". They make something for just about everything and you truly could spend a fortune if you fall for every proposed baby need. The truth is that there are many items worth paying a pretty penny for and many that you can easily do without and "make do" in a less expensive or free way. The following are categories of items that should not be compromised without or settled upon for the cheapest. They are what mainly effect the safety of the child such as a good car seat and baby-proofing your house. A few other high dollar items should be invested in as sometimes the cheaper items break and it will end up costing more to replace them.

Convertible Crib And Changer

When purchasing a car seat, it is important to read crash test ratings and reviews. Britax is a pricey but top of the line seat when it comes to safety. Firefighters recommend a Britax as they are tested in Europe at higher speeds in crash tests and have true side impact protection. Regardless which brand you choose, make sure it is installed properly and securely as well. Choosing a convertible car seat for your infant that will have room for a child up to 65 pounds will also save money over purchasing an infant seat that will be outgrown in a few months.

Convertible Crib And Changer

A lightweight umbrella stroller is a better investment than one of those giant travel systems that come with infant seats. The infant seat will be soon outgrown and the stroller is so wide and bulky you will not want to put it in the car, travel with it and use it for trips to the mall. Choosing a high quality umbrella stroller is key though. They are not all created equal! One with back support for your child that still executes an umbrella fold is far superior to the flimsy fabric ones that provide no support and that do not recline for stroller naps and diaper changing. The Maclaren Quest is a pricey but excellent option and is worth every extra penny. The strong frame is not flimsy and is super sturdy and the extendable leg rest allows for your baby's feet to not hang on the ground. The five point harness also ensures safety and security for your little wiggle worm. This stroller will work for your infant as well if you add an infant body support into it such as the JJ Cole Body Support. Cheap umbrella strollers are more prone to breaking with heavy use, so investing in a good one for long term use is worth it.

Do not skimp as well when baby proofing your house. You DO need outlet covers and gates to create safe, baby proof spaces. Even if you cannot ensure perfect safety everywhere, it is a must to create a space that is fully baby proofed that your baby is enclosed into. Put up a baby gate at one room with no TV's and wires and and that has a rug or carpet. Make this the go-to safe play spot that you feel comfortable walking away from to change your load of laundry etc. If you do not have a safe spot in your house you need to have a play pen (pack and play) to place your child to keep them safe. It only takes an instant for your child to endanger their life. Babies can drown in less than one inch of water including toilets and empty flower pots that have a bit of rain water at the bottom. If you have a pool it is absolutely imperative to have a safety gate. You do not have control of every situation that will arise and if another person where to let your child out of the house it only takes seconds for them to drown.

A breast pump is a divided issue as some women go back to work and pump every day for their child. Others are home and usually just breast feed. So your need for a good quality breast pump will depend on how often you use it. If you plan on pumping every day, multiple times per day you will be more successful in continuing to breast feed by investing in a good electric double-sided pump that makes pumping quick ad easy and will not break. The cheaper single, hand-held pumps take longer and break easier but work fine for the woman who only pumps on the rare occasion that a babysitter will be giving one bottle.

Your baby's crib will be your baby's sanctuary over the early months with your newborn spending many hours in his crib. A crib is somewhere where your baby should feel safe and secure and a place that you feel comfortable to leave him.

There is such a choice in baby cribs that trying to decide which baby crib to buy can prove quite a challenging task. It's best to try and narrow your choice down by first deciding what type of baby crib you want to buy. For example do you want a wood baby crib or an iron crib, are you looking for something unique or are functionality and price more important.

Decide whether or not you want drop down sides. Baby cribs come with single and double drop down sides or you might decide you aren't bothered about having drop down sides at all. If your baby's crib is going to be positioned against a wall then having both sides of the crib that can be dropped down is a waste but one side is good for most parents as it makes it easier to lift your baby in and out of the crib.

You might decide to go for a crib that converts into a toddler bed or perhaps a seat. Such a change in functionality comes at a cost and you often need to buy a kit to convert your baby's crib. It's a nice concept but quite expensive and not necessarily worth it especially if you are considering having another baby at a later date.

Most cribs come with an adjustable mattress so you can higher it to place your baby into the crib and lower it to help prevent your baby from getting out. An adjustable mattress is a nice to have but as with most things decent functionality costs and so you probably need to head up the price range for your baby's crib to make sure you get a mattress that works well. Go for a metal spring system if you can.

Once you have decided what type of crib you want and have established a price range which you can afford then it's time to check out what cribs are around. The internet is a good place to start as it saves hours on your feet and gives you a good feel as to the type and make of crib you want to buy. Internet stores also offer you some of the keenest prices around so even if you've found that dream baby crib in town check out the internet to see if you can beat the price, you usually can.

Bratt décor have a good range of baby cribs providing you with a complete choice from wood to iron and basic to designer. All the iron cribs are forged by hand. If you want a carved crib, a hand painted crib or that little something that is totally unique you will find it in the Bratt Décor range along with a wide and stunning selection of beautiful nursery furniture. The Bratt Décor range was born out of the founder's love of children and it certainly shows in their beautiful selection of baby cribs.

Convertible Baby Cribs - How to Know If It's Worth It

With all the innovations that are happening to every stuff we see like big computers suddenly turned into small iPads and the walkman turned into really small MP3 players, it's not surprising to see that even the crib has its share of innovation. The traditional crib we used to know so well now have a convertible version.

Convertible Crib And Changer

Convertible cribs are not very hard to understand. It's a lot like the regular baby crib, except that it can be turned into a toddler bed, a day bed and a full- size bed.

Convertible Crib And Changer

There are two basic types of convertible cribs. There's the 2 in 1 type that can be turned into a toddler bed and a day bed, and there's the 3 in 1 or 4 in 1 that can be turned into toddler bed, day bed and full- size double bed-basically the complete package.

People have different opinions on whether buying a convertible crib is worth it. A lot of people seem to have an issue with the price. Since buying a convertible crib is like buying three furnitures in one, the price is a bit higher than a regular baby crib. There's also the question of whether you'd even get to use the crib until your baby turns into a teenager. Teenagers have the need to make their own decision, especially when it comes to how their room looks. What's cute today may not be very appealing for your teenage daughter, and a change in furniture may be needed in the future.

In order to determine if buying a convertible crib is the best choice for you, ask yourselves these questions:
• Am I willing to stick with the furniture for the years to come? Don't I easily get bored with how my furniture looks?
• Do I plan to buy another crib in case a new baby comes along? Or do I want to have a crib that could serve as an heirloom?
• Am I willing to pay extra to have furniture that I could possibly get bored with?
Answering these questions will help you decide if a convertible crib is the best option for you and for your baby. Just think about it carefully and I'm sure you'd be able to make the best decision for you.

Cloth Vs Disposable Diapers - Are Baby Cloth Diapers Worth It?

There is a lot to decide on when your about to have a baby. We all wonder what's going to be best for our little ones when it comes to raising them. Will I breast feed or go with a bottle? Should we put our baby to sleep in a crib or bassinet? Are we going to diaper our baby with cloth diapers or disposable diapers?

Convertible Crib And Changer

Usually we go with what makes the most sense, and what will fit in with our lifestyle. When I was pregnant with my son I did some research on the Cloth Vs. Disposable debate and came up with a pros and cons list that really helped me out.

Convertible Crib And Changer

Let's start with the pros of disposable diapers!

1. Easy to use

This is a huge plus if your a busy family and are always on the go. Disposable diapers can be used anywhere at anytime without having to worry about finding a washer to clean soiled cloth diapers!

2. You can throw them away

Once your little one has done his or her business and needs to be changed, just take the dirty diaper off (after changing your baby of course) and throw it out. No smelly diaper to carry around with you!

3. Less Leaking...Less accidents

Disposable diapers are much more absorbent than cloth diapers. With that said more liquid is absorbed and your little one is less likely to get a rash. Not to mention you wont have to change as many diapers.

4. Cost

If you plan on diapering your bundle of joy using only cloth diapers with no covers there really isn't much of a difference in cost. If you consider using a diaper service or home laundering, it can be cheaper to use cloth diapers. However, diapering your baby without using diaper covers is risky due to possible leaking.

You must also consider there are diaper covers and various styles to think about with cloth. To get all the cute designs and top rated cloth diapers you may actually spend up to 50% more on cloth diapers.

As you can see there are a lot of pros to using disposable diapers, of course there are some cons, and here they are...

1. Bad for the environment

While disposable diapers are easy to use they also hurt the environment. Every year there are billions of disposable diapers thrown away which directly impacts our environment.

2. Potentially Harmful

There have been studies done on children who have used disposable diapers. Some of these studies have found that disposable diapers may cause male infertility and possible instances of asthma.

3. Functionality

Disposable diapers are just that, disposable. Once they are used you throw them out never to be used again. With cloth diapers you can use them for years to come. They can be used around the house as dust cloths or rags, burp cloths or even washcloths.

Let's talk about some cloth diapers pros shall we!

1. Environmentally Friendly

Cloth diapers are 100% reusable (as long as you take care of them and wash them well). With that being said you can reduce the amount of pollution going to our landfills by reusing your cloth diapers, and in return you will be helping to better our environment.

2. Less expensive to maintain

It may cost more at first to get started with cloth diapers, however in the long run it is much cheaper to maintain. After the initial cost of getting the diapers, pins and the covers all you need to do is wash, dry, fold, use and repeat. Cloth diapers will last about a year with good care, so you will never have to worry about making a diaper run in the middle of the night like with disposable diapers.

3. Comfortable for you babies bottom

Unlike disposable diapers, cloth diapers are usually made of cotton, hemp, bamboo or microfiber. These materials are much more comfortable and are normally a bit more gentle on your little ones bottom. Some children may be allergic to the dyes or chemicals in disposables so cloth may be the way to go.

4. Oh so cute diaper covers

There are so many different diaper covers out there these days it's hard to decide on just one. Good news, you don't have to! With all the different brands and companies around you can choose almost any different pattern, color, design or fabric you can think of. This makes diapering your child more of a fun experience rather than just something that needs to be done.

There are some cons to using cloth diapers, so let's take a look at what those are...

1. Supply and demand

Whether we like it or not babies need to be changed a lot. With the use of cloth diapers comes a few more loads of laundry to do as well.

Remember that if you do not wash cloth diapers in a timely manner it may be tough to remove stains from soiled areas. This means that you will need to do laundry more often to ensure that you have diapers ready at all times.

2. Not as absorbent

Cloth diapers are not as absorbent as most disposable diapers. This usually isn't a big deal except at night and when on road trips. At night you will find your self getting up regularly just to check your little ones diaper and see if it's wet. You wouldn't want to have to change a soaked diaper, pj's and bedding would you? At this point you may opt to use cloth diapers during the day and disposables at night.

3. Less sanitary

If you're not consistently near a sterile pot of boiling water or a washer and dryer you may have a problem keeping things sanitary. You don't want to put that soiled diaper in your diaper bag with formula, extra clothes and toys. Not handling cloth diapers properly, and making sure they are cleaned and stored correctly can cause contamination and make you and your family sick.

So there's the low down on using cloth diapers vs. disposable diapers. I found all of this information to be very helpful and it really did help me make up my mind on how to diaper my son. The most important thing to remember is that there is no right or wrong answer!

When it comes to choosing which way to diaper your baby, it's really what works best for you and your family!
