Ask any woman about the happiest day of her life and she will most likely state it was the day she had a child. For first time mommies, choosing a crib or bassinette can be a perplexing situation. Are cribs safe for a newborn? Is a bassinette truly useful or a waste of money?

Any newborn sleeps more than sixteen hours a day. While snuggling in mommy’’s arms is always appealing, it is not practical for a new mom. An infant does need a place to sleep. This place must be safe and comfortable. Those are the most important requirements for any infant’’s bedding.
