DaVinci Emily Crib
The DaVinci Emily Crib is famous for its streamline, simple yet classic looks. It features a fix side which means the side is not adjustable. Which is a big plus for the safety of the baby. This crib is one of the most popular cribs and for variety of good reasons.
There are variety of colors as well to choose ranging from Cherry, Oak, Espresso, White, Ebony to Natural. One of the best thing I like is the fact that it’s very easy to get the baby in and out of it. It has four adjustment levels instead of the standard three which is very common on other brand of cribs. Another thing is that it’s very easy to assemble and the construction quality is very sturdy.
The most important aspect in a parent’s mind when they are looking for a crib or toddler bed for their precious bundle of joy, are the safety aspects. DaVinci is fully aware of this so they make sure that their cribs meet or exceed all American safety standards, giving you peace of mind in knowing that your little one is safe. The materials used on this crib are toxic-free finish but DaVinci have also ensured that the crib is constructed in a way to ensure the best safety features possible. There are no movable parts on this crib so you don?t need to worry about the possibility of the side rails coming down accidentally and squashing little fingers.

Having a baby is the most wonderful experience a woman can have as it is a fulfillment of the biological function of the female species. After the giving birth process, the real work begins. Feeding bottles, diaper changes, immunization records are just a few of the things the new mom have to learn quickly. And one important thing to consider in the arrival of the baby is the kind of baby bedding he or she will use. According to Dr. Mark Brandenburg (http://www.baby-place.com/crib_safety.html), the number one rule to follow in choosing the right baby bedding for your precious infant is safety. The second rule says safety and the third rule emphasizes safety. We are to conclude that it is not enough to say it, it must be emphasized that baby bedding is critical for the comfort of the baby.
In his article on how to find the perfect baby bedding, it must be neither too hard nor too soft. In the past, sudden infant death syndrome or SIDS was attributed to very soft baby bedding. This happened when the baby’s mattress is too soft that his nose and mouth gets covered and the air he exhales is the air he breathes. This is dangerous for him since he would breath carbon dioxide rather than oxygen and the effects could lead to drowsiness, coma or even death.
There are a lot of styles and makes in choosing the baby’s bed. And with that, it follows that the baby bedding must be a perfect fit with the chosen equipment. The three major selections are: a bassinet, a crib or a cradle. What differentiates one from the other? A bassinet is an oblong-shaped basket that serves as a bed for an infant. But sometimes, round bassinets are also available. A crib is a bed that is flanked with high side bars for a baby or young child’s safety. Cribs are usually more economical since the baby can use it from infancy to two years. While a cradle is a small low bed that an infant uses that has rockers on its stand. In all these, the material used to make the equipment should alert and signal to the mom how much safety precautions are needed.
Babies And Bedtime Fussiness
If the baby is very small, is a new born baby then it is accepted that he will get up many times at night. But in case of older babies, it is not accepted. It is very frustrating for the mother if the baby goes to sleep after a great deal of effort and then keeps waking up frequently. It is a big achievement for the mother if the baby sleeps uninterrupted throughout the night. However, if the baby is not sleeping well then you must start thinking about his day time activities and how these are affecting his sleeping pattern.
The baby’s biological clock is not yet set up and if you don’t set a routine for them they find it difficult to settle down. Thus you must follow a fixed pattern. They automatically begin to understand when they are supposed to play and when to sleep and so on. When they are small we help them by setting a routine and we follow the routine as far as possible. For instance, in the mornings they can learn that it is bath, then feed, and then play. At evening they can learn that a story, feed and then lullaby is bedtime routine. Thus, if you follow this pattern for a while then the kids start remembering it.
You must also keep track of the times your baby has slept during the day. The baby may not go to bed at night because he may not be tired enough. You must play sufficiently with the baby to make him tired by the end of the day. You must also help him in discovering new things and stimulate him during the day. If you are not doing so, then you may have to change your own habits. The baby will then sleep soundly at night.

Choosing The Best Crib For Your Baby
It is important to set a budget before you choose a crib for your baby. A good idea is to have a price range to work with. This will allow for more selections in the end.
The main concern you should have whether you are buying a new baby or a old one. The most important thing is that the crib meets safety criteria. When assemble the crib, be sure to follow the makers directions precisely to assure the greatest amount of safety for your baby. The proper usage of the crib serves also an equal importance.
Safety interests include the mattress. The mattress must be properly secured and must be fitted enough to avoid lateral movements. Make sure that all slats are present and not loose. The splines should have a maximum distance of 2 3/8 inches apart – about the width of a soda can. It is also imperative to look for cutouts in the headboards or foot of the bed. If the crib has corner posts it must only be limited to sixteenth of an inch above the foot or head bar.
Drop sides on a crib is very convenient and is probably the most used feature on any crib. Fixed sides do not have the drop down feature and is great for tall people or those who will only be occasionally using the crib.
Most parents opt for a single drop down sided crib that allows them to easily lift baby out of the crib and to place him in the crib. Most people keen to safety advise that the crib is placed against the wall. Double drop down sided cribs are a popular option among those parents who have room to place the crib so its not against the wall.
