Preparing for a new baby is a very exciting time, but it can be expensive and overwhelming if you don't plan ahead and ensure you have all the necessary information. One of the items you'll need to buy for the baby's bedroom is a cradle if you don't already have one. A wooden bassinet cradle is arguably one of the most attractive and beautiful choices for a baby's crib. While the style is fundamentally the same in that they are wooden and are designed to rock back and forth, there is quite a lot of variety and so it's a good idea to consider what's available before making your decision.

What's the best design of a wooden bassinet cradle for a contemporary home?

a circular cradle is a gorgeous modern style that's ideal for the contemporary home when a baby is on the way. You might be worried initially about having to compromise on your style in order to make things as comfortable as possible for the new arrival, however, this is certainly not the case thanks to designs like this one. The dark sturdy hardwood gives you peace of mind that your baby will be safe and sound all through the night, while the rounded shape provides ultimate comfort. The cradle can be rocked back and forth to relax your baby or help them get to sleep.

What are the benefits of a low set cradle?

While many wooden bassinet cradles for new babies are higher to allow a more comfortable standing position for the parents, this doesn't mean it's the only option available. The benefit of having a lower cradle is that your baby is much closer to the ground and therefore at less risk of any accidents occurring. With slightly curved beams at the bottom to allow a relaxing rocking motion, the cradle is positioned directly onto the horizontal beams, which means it's almost at ground level. These cradles may be slightly more circular in shape, or you may see them in a rectangular shape with straight edges.

Are rocking cradles better than non-rocking ones?

Not every parent wants to buy their baby a cradle they can rock. A rocking bassinet might be nice, but it poses safety hazards not present in stationary bassinets. If that's a source of concern for you, a bassinet that stays in one place permanently is a good option to consider. Rather than having curved beams at the bottom, this design boasts beautiful straight wooden beams at the floor, which form the base for the rectangular cradle. The rectangular shape is much more common for this design since it appropriately matches the straight beams and edges at the bottom of the piece.

Is a cradle integrated with a rocking chair a good idea?

If you want to sit alongside your baby while s/he sleeps soundly in the cradle, this is a great design to think about. You can sit in a wooden rocking chair with padded cushions for extra comfort, while a horizontal piece fixed to the left of the chair becomes the basis for your baby's cradle. It allows you to rock the cradle as you are sitting down and rocking yourself in the rocking chair. These chairs can be seen in a traditional design with wooden beams along the back of the chair, or you may find more modern designs which have one larger piece at the back instead.
