Regularly dampen a new cloth to get rid of soapy residues and keep the surfaces clean. Use a soft scrub brush to get rid of any stains that have accumulated on the mattress. Baking soda can be used to remove the lingering smells. Always test a small section of the mattress first to ensure that the cleaning product is safe for your child.

The best bedside cribs allow babies to sleep with their parents, but in a separate sleeping space. They are usually much more compact than a Moses Basket or a standard cots and can be folded and stored when not in use. They're also more accessible when it comes to night feeds, nappy changes and relaxing. This makes them ideal for new mothers recovering from a c-section as they don't have to bend down as much to care for their infant during the night.
The crib is also a good choice for parents who are concerned about the risks that come with co-sleeping. This is because the crib is located closer to the bed of the parent and has a lower chance of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) than sleeping in a standard bassinet or cot. This type of safe, co-sleeping known as "rooming in" is essential for the development of a baby.
