When we talk about baby caring, remember, baby cradles are a wonderful warm reminder of simpler times. Steeped in timeless tradition, they are often passed on as heirlooms. There’s no better place to keep your newborn swaddled in comfort.

 Advantages of baby cradles

 1. Convenience for Mom

 Cradles are small enough to be placed next to your bed for nighttime closeness. Having your baby next to you during the night will save you many hours of cold toes on winter nights.

You can reach over and rock your baby when she wakes. It is important in the early months of baby’s emotional development that she knows that mommy is right there when she is needed.

 2. It’s easy to bring baby into your bed for nighttime feeding.

You will both get more sleep. The security of a small space and closeness to mom encourage baby to develop a good sleep routine, and the rocking motion will soon send a fussy baby back to dreamland. You will recuperate from childbirth more quickly if you can tend to your baby without getting up too much.

3. Bouncy Baby Bonuses

Baby gets the benefit of being close to Mom, in a small, comfortable environment. Babies of working moms can catch up on mom’s touch during the night, thereby maintaining a strong emotional bond. Cradles rock! – literally. And we all know that babies love that feeling. The rocking motion of the cradle partially mimics the movements experienced by baby in the womb.

4. Practical Pluses

Small baby beds are not used for very long and you may be wondering whether or not they are worth the added pressure to an ever-expanding baby budget. One of the advantages of cradles over the other small baby beds, is that you can make your own or refurbish a second hand one. Make sure that cradle safety is top of your agenda when making or refurbishing a cradle.
