The nursery trend that saves space and rocks babies to sleep

Having a baby is one of the highlights of life. Very special is the time I wait with anticipation for the coming family member and set up and decorate the children’s room. There is a lot to decide: wall color, pictures, changing table and of course the perfect place to sleep.

Don’t waste any space

Of course, you want your baby to be as comfortable as possible – in other words, a place to sleep in which they can sleep through the night, as well as a cot which – especially when space is limited – fits well into the room. This is where spring cradles come into play. This type of sleeping space saves much-needed storage space, especially under the cradle. The cradles do not have to be rocked or attached to a wall – they can be hung anywhere in the nursery, even in the middle of the room.

Pay attention to high quality materials

Newborns sleep 12-14 hours a day, which makes the cradle the most important element of the nursery. Non-toxic, natural and ecological textiles, mattresses, pillows and sheets contribute to the safety and health of the baby. Pay attention to mattresses made of organic cotton and fillings without latex and toxic chemicals. For example, the Moonboon spring cradle is recommended. The fabric of this cradle is made of pure, ecological cotton and the mattress is filled with 100% natural, hypoallergenic kapok. The CE-marked weighing motor can be set so that the baby is rocked for up to 3 hours. The pace can be set individually and thus adapted to the needs of the child.

In addition to the right mattress and bed linen, it is also important to only clean all textiles with hypoallergenic detergents.

As in the arms of the mother

The Scandinavian concept of hanging cradles is not only beneficial in a small space, but also beneficial for the baby’s sleep. Studies show that the best way to rest most mammals is to be carried and rocked by their mothers. The gentle rocking motion that occurs when the mother walks around with the child is much the same motion that the baby experienced for the nine months in the womb, and the reason the rocking helps them fall asleep quickly. The rocking of the cradle mimics these movements. So if the baby wakes up in the middle of the night, it is gently rocked back to sleep. It is also said that rocking movements have a calming effect and slow the child’s heartbeat. That makes spring cradles unbeatable as a sleeping place.
