It is important to know and understand all the criteria for purchasing a baby crib and become familiar with its own special needs.
First things first, your baby probably spends most of the time in the crib, almost two thirds of his/her day is spent in sweet sleep. Being a baby takes a lot of energy for learning and adapting to a whole new world.
