I bought this just before my daughter was born in Mothercare for 90 euro. I thought it was a bit expensive for a bed that my daughter would grow out of quite quickly but I just fell in love with it and had to buy it! It is suitable for babies from birth to 6 months. Really when your baby can sit up you should get them into their own cot.


Its made of oak and you can either get it natural varnished or just plain white. I must say the white looked really cute but I knew it wouldnt stay white for long in my house so eventually settled on the wood finish. This co ordinated with the rest of the nursery so it fitted in nicely.


A mattress is actually included when you buy this crib which is fantastic because anyone who has bought a mattress for a cot will know that they can go to over 100 euro for a good quality mattress. It is also moisture resistant for baby. The crib itself can be fixed in a stable position or rocked to sooth baby to sleep.


I constantly kept mine on fix though. I was told that if I got my daughter into the habit of being rocked to sleep then I would regret it so this is why I never really used it as a rocker. When she was a newborn I did use this once or twice out of pure exhaustion and it worked well but I wouldnt recommend it in the long term!


It was nice to shove beside the bed for the first few weeks as a first time mother as I was very worried about her breathing and everything and needed to keep and eye on her for my own sanity. This helped me to do so.


The dimensions are as follows: 50cm W X 95cm L X 91cm H. I found it fit right next to my bed perfectly and never got in the way. Unlike a cot I was able to move this downstairs so she could nap as I went about the housework during the day. This was a better arrangement than running up the stairs every fifteen minutes to check on her.


I would recommend this crib because its a great functional bed for newborns and it can be easier to put a newborn into something that is lightweight and portable for the first precious few months.
