Question by JaimieS: What kind of cradle bedding should I look for?
I have a baby cradle that was given to me and it’s a rocking cradle that is low to the ground. It doesn’t have bars but flat sides. I’m trying to figure out what kind of bedding to use and I can’t use a bumper pad right? There’s no place to attach it. But, wouldn’t I want a bumper pad so baby doesn’t push his head up against the walls of the cradle? Is there a special kind of bedding set for a cradle like this one? Where would I find it? Is it safe to use a cradle with flat wooden sides and no bars? I’m confused. It’s a beautiful piece of woodwork, I just am wondering if I really should use it – if they don’t sell bedding for it – maybe this style of cradle has been deemed unsafe?

try looking at the manufactor and see if they make any for the cradle.

Your baby’s safety is much more important than having “a
beautiful piece of woodwork” no matter who gave it to you.
You don’t have to spend a lot of money. K-mart and Target
and Wal-Mart have wonderful baby baskets. I will tell you it’s
very hard on YOUR back to keep bending over a bassinet that’s close to the floor, and it’s dangerous to put on a table. My suggestion is to buy the combination bassinet/bath table/changing table.
There must be sides on the bassinet. Never lay your baby
face down, and never use a soft pillow for for sleeping. Always use a fairly firm mattress. You will be surprised at how fast the baby begins to lift its head and begin squirming around. LoL mountain gal
