Baby Cradles are the place for your baby to sleep during their first 4 or 5 months. A plus for a cradle is the portability they provide. They can be carried from room to room with relative ease. This permits the parents to keep a close eye on their sleeping newborn.
One disadvantage is that it could be accidentially knocked over by your family pet. In that case you might want to opt for a baby crib.
Baby Cradles generally cost between $65 to $150. With added features such as wheels, extra storage space, or a motorized rocker or vibrator the price will be higher.
Cradles are often an heirloom that has been passed from generation to generation. You could be the one to start this tradition in your family.
They come in many different styles such as iron cradles, carved wooden cradles, and a wide variety of accessories and bedding.
