Crib or cradle? Rocker or baby swing? Or a bassinet after all? When you have a baby, there are so many things to buy and decide. One of the most important decisions concerns the baby's sleeping situation. Many parents opt for a bassinet to help their child sleep gently and safely. But there are so many different types of bassinets - how should you decide? In this article, we would like to give you an overview of the different types of cradles and introduce you to a special type of cradle: the Baby Hammock .
The classic cradle
The classic cradle is probably the most well-known type of cradle. It consists of a small bed that is suspended on a frame. The cradle is rocked by hand or by slight movements of the child itself. Most cradles have a fixed mattress and can easily be set up in any room. Most cradles are wood-colored or white. There are also cradles that are specially made for traveling. A special form of the classic cradle is the bassinet.
The bassinet
The bassinet is a type of portable bed for babies and can be set up in the living room, bedroom or other rooms. In contrast to a normal crib, it is often somewhat smaller and has a fixed frame that protects the baby from falling out. A bassinet can also be equipped with castors to make it easier to move. A mattress is usually placed in the bassinet to provide the baby with a comfortable surface to lie on. Another advantage of the bassinet is that it is often removable. When the baby is asleep, it can simply be placed in the bassinet and pushed into another room if necessary without waking it up.
The baby bouncer
The baby bouncer is another type of bassinet that is often perceived as practical and easy to use. A baby bouncer is usually small and handy and can be easily transported from one room to another. Most baby bouncers have soft padding that adapts to the baby's body and a holder to secure the baby. The bouncer is often electrically operated and can be adjusted by remote control to customize the rocking. Most baby bouncers also have a vibration function, which can help the baby to fall asleep more quickly. However, bouncers are usually not suitable for prolonged sleeping.
The baby swing
A baby swing is similar to a baby bouncer, but is often larger and more robust. While a bouncer rocks up and down, a swing is suitable for the child to move forwards and backwards (sometimes also back and forth). The rocking movements are often stronger than in a baby bouncer and can last longer. Many baby swings also have different settings to adjust the rocking and can also be operated automatically. Most baby swings are mounted to the ceiling and have a bracket to secure the baby and soft padding for added comfort. Some swings are only suitable for sitting and as an activity and not for sleeping.
The Baby Hammock
