Our precious babies deserve to be given an environment where they are free to move their little bodies as they explore their surroundings by moving their heads and bodies.
Do you have a crib? Get rid of it.
Does your crib have a standard chemical-laden mattress? Get rid of the mattress, too.
You can put pure wool blankets inside of an organic cotton or pure silk duvet cover to make the perfect infant mattress.
Make a big mattress from a full sized duvet. Splurge and make it a king!
In a baby-proof room, put the mattress in the middle of the room. There is no need for crib bumpers now. You need no bumpers to protect your baby from getting “stuck” in a tight spot because there are NO tight spots.
If you don’t have enough room, put any dressers or decor outside of the room. This is the baby’s sanctuary.
Newborn babies begin to move very early, some even roll over in their first few days. In the right environment.
It is worth the cost. It is worth throwing away purchase (or gift) mistakes. It doesn’t matter if your in-laws do not understand. It doesn’t matter if your parents bought the crib. The only thing that matters is that your infant have the best environment for growing up.
What if your child is no longer an infant? Provide them with this bed now!
Better late than never. Make a thicker mattress (or buy a futon) as children become bigger.It is a matter of pounds per square inch.
