👶 Should you use a cradle for your baby?
Here’s what every parent should know before rocking their little one to sleep! 💤🛏️
💡 Cradle Basics – DOs ✅ & DON’Ts ❌
✅ A cradle can help soothe newborns and support sleep in the first 3–4 months.
✅ Ensure the cradle is stable, firm, and not too soft.
✅ Always lay baby on their back — never on the side or tummy.
✅ Stop using the cradle once your baby starts rolling or sitting (around 4–6 months).
❌ Avoid using loose bedding, pillows, or toys — risk of suffocation.
❌ Don’t use automatic rocking for long periods.
❌ Never leave your baby unsupervised in a cradle.

“A cradle is optional — not essential. What matters most is safe sleep!”
Safe sleep = Flat surface, firm mattress, no clutter, and back sleeping.
