Cribs (204)
A crib (commonly referred to as a cot in British English and a crib, cradle or stock) is a small bed specifically for infants, generally up to 3 years old.
Infant beds are most common in North America, Europe, and Australia. Many people in these countries, and most people in many parts of the world, do not use separate infant beds, and instead co-sleep (babies sleep in the same bed as the parents).

Crib Use
An infant bed is typically used after it is no longer safe to leave the baby in a bassinet. Infant beds are more stable than bassinettes and become desirable when a baby can roll. They have a lower center of gravity, a broader base of support and can hold a larger baby than a bassinet.
Placing a child into an infant bed can put strain on a caretaker's back. To reduce the strain on those operating an infant bed, many infant beds feature:
• a mattress that can be in a raised position until the child is able to sit upright.
• a dropside, a side which lowers to ease the process of putting the child into the bed, but can be raised again to restore the integrity of the enclosure.
