Errrr, so what you're saying is that you are looking for a cot that doesn't allow you to remove any of the sides? If it is the case, I can share with you from experience that you'll have a lot of challenges when your baby gets bigger. You have to imagine that as the baby grows bigger, you have to lower the level of the crib eh? Because they might climb out? And when you lower your crib, and if there are no sides for you to drop, you'd end up having to bend real low that will be really challenging to pick the baby up. Imagine doing that like 5 to 10 times a day?http://www.webmd.com/parenting/news/20101215/drop-side-cribs-banned-safety-issues
Dropside cribs are the cribs we commonly see in SG which has a side that we can lower to give easier access to bb. The US is the only country that has banned it, I don't think it's the same in UK and Europe. so dropside cribs should still be safe... But this article from Babycenter UK indicates that as long as cribs satisfy a certain safety standard and the grilles are no less than 2.5cm and no more than 5cm apart, it should be safe for use.
Sounds geeky right? haha![]()
That will sure as hell frustrate you. I was like you, with my firstborn, read a lot of this and that. But it's good to think through and ahead as well. And since we're on the topic of cribs, you might wanna give thought on whether you'd like to practise co-sleeping or independent sleeping. If you're thinking co-sleeping, some parents do without cribs, and sleep with the child on the bed. Or get like an extended bed that can be attached to their own bed.
I see ... thanks for sharing.btw ladies, I've passed the msg to the FB group, most say they dont login here anymore or even forgot their password so...![]()
