Your baby will spend more time in their crib than anywhere else, during their first years of life. As new parents, baby crib safety is probably not number one on your mind. However, each and every year more and more babies are injured and die in accidents involving cribs.
Infants and babies spend the majority of their lives sleeping. Conservatively, your baby spends 4,350 hours sleeping during the first year of life. Spending 12 hours per day in their crib gives them time to wiggle, pick, pull, roll and kick. These 12 hours are plenty of time to become injured or worse. The crib that is suppose to be keeping them safe can become a life threatening trap.
Thousands of infants are injured seriously enough to require treatment in hospital emergency rooms. We strongly recommend that you place your baby crib safety at the top of your list.
Buy a new crib and pay the store to build it professionally. Babies not only become injured by old cribs, they become injured and killed by improperly built and loose or broken crib hardware as well. If you are unable to buy a new crib, then search for agencies that donate new cribs to parents. A new crib should solve the problem of your baby crib safety. Double check to see if the crib you are about to buy has been recalled. Check over your new crib to make sure that all hardware has been installed and is tight. In the end it is all up to you.
