Most cribs for bed have a panel that can be moved to allow you to comfortably see your baby throughout the night. This allows you to easily soothe, feed, and monitor your baby without leaving the bed.

A panel that is lower will lower the risk of your baby rolling over the edge of the bed. A lot of these panels have mesh sides to prevent pillows and duvets from falling into the crib. This is crucial for reducing the chance of SIDS as babies who fall off their backs are more susceptible to being suffocated.

It is advised to keep any dummy or soft toys out of the crib because they can be suffocation hazards. A breathable crib mattress and regular checks for gaps or loose bedding are also vital to keep your baby secure. When your baby is able to sit or stand, usually at around 6 months, they will need to move into a cot or another suitable sleeping arrangement. If you're worried about this transition, it's important to speak with your GP or health care professional.
