Baby Swing Cot Overview
A baby swing cot is a caged basket fixed with a two or four leg sturdy frame. Usually, babies in Pakistan sleep right next to the parents, which is a dangerous thing as they are fragile, and they need an infant bed to sleep properly and. Experts suggest that it is safest for your baby to sleep on the hard sleep surface. In the first six months, it is best to place the baby in a separate crib in the same room as you.
Many parents in Pakistan often choose to use a traditional baby hammock/swing cot or 'jhoola' instead of a crib. Although their design (curved base and soft mattress) does not strictly meet the safe sleep guidelines recommended by the United States and the United Kingdom, they have been used for generations but are still popular among parents.
Most experts and doctors believe that as long as you take the necessary precautions and the baby is not in the hammock, they should be safe to use.
The traditional jhoola is essentially a wooden or metal swing with a soft mattress. The elders may tell you that they have grown up, and they have been sleeping in traditional hammocks for years without any problems.
However, in recent years, the safety of traditional baby hammocks has become a problem. There may be the following risks:
- The baby may roll to one side and may suffer from breathing problems due to the face being pressed against the swing.
- The bottom of some hammocks may bend and bend so that the baby's chin may push forward to his chest, causing difficulty breathing.
- When the baby is old enough to turn over, they may fall.
- Wires, ropes, ribbons, or accessories can pose a risk of strangulation and suffocation.
- If you still want to jhoola, please consult your doctor first. You should also weigh the pros and cons to determine how this sleep arrangement works best for your baby and family.
The swing can even calm down the most horrible baby. When it gently soothes your baby's sleep, you can finally get some work done! But just like any other baby product, it's essential to keep your baby safe.
Here are a few things to check when buying a baby wing cot:
- The standard swing consists of a cushioned seat suspended from the frame. Some of the more advanced models are equipped with music, toys, or lights.
- Cradle swings are more expensive, but some babies prefer to swing side to side rather than back and forth.
- The swings are compact and more comfortable to fold, so you can keep your baby calm during vacations or when grandparents travel.
- When shopping for a swing, make sure it is durable and well made. Beware that there are no hinges or sharp edges that may pinch or cut the baby's little fingers.
- The seat should always be tilted back to accommodate the neck where the newborn is still unstable.
- Try the swing at the store. Make sure the motor is quiet so that your baby and your baby can get some much-needed rest.
- Also, look for a swing of more than one speed. Some babies like rock and roll. Other babies love slow and soft movements.
- When deciding to purchase a swing, be sure to check your weight requirements or limits.
