What kind of cradle bedding should I look for?

Question

I have a baby cradle that was given to me and it's a rocking cradle that is low to the ground. It doesn't have bars but flat sides. I'm trying to figure out what kind of bedding to use and I can't use a bumper pad right? There's no place to attach it. But, wouldn't I want a bumper pad so baby doesn't push his head up against the walls of the cradle? Is there a special kind of bedding set for a cradle like this one? Where would I find it? Is it safe to use a cradle with flat wooden sides and no bars? I'm confused. It's a beautiful piece of woodwork, I just am wondering if I really should use it - if they don't sell bedding for it - maybe this style of cradle has been deemed unsafe?

Answer 1

Your baby's safety is much more important than having "a
beautiful piece of woodwork" no matter who gave it to you.
You don't have to spend a lot of money. K-mart and Target
and Wal-Mart have wonderful baby baskets. I will tell you it's
very hard on YOUR back to keep bending over a bassinet that's close to the floor, and it's dangerous to put on a table. My suggestion is to buy the combination bassinet/bath table/changing table.
There must be sides on the bassinet. Never lay your baby
face down, and never use a soft pillow for for sleeping. Always use a fairly firm mattress. You will be surprised at how fast the baby begins to lift its head and begin squirming around. LoL mountain gal
