Product Story
We have made our Woodland Montessori Floor bed to help you design your baby's bedroom around their needs and capabilities. We wanted to add extra fun to their sleep times with our Woodland Rail. The trees on the front rail flips, which give them something to play with just before falling asleep:)
Not to mention that we have designed our floor beds minding the distance between slats must be no more than 2-3/8 inches (6 centimeters) to protect infants from falling out and toddlers from trapping their heads between the slats. Please make sure the item you are considering purchasing meets this vital criteria for the safety of your kiddo. (Ref. https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/products-cribs.html)
Many parents do not decide whether having a floor bed is the better option or not. It is definitely the better one! The floor bed gives your baby a feeling of independence since it allows them to move freely. Your baby will feel empowered by being able to change their environment as soon as they wake up and feel like it. They will not be dependent on you to come in and get them. They will not need a parent's permission or help to get up, get dressed, pick a toy, check the books on their bookshelf or explore their baby safe room as they wish.
Allowing them to make their own decisions and not limiting their movements will translate to freedom of thought as they grow older. Your trust in them to make their own decisions at very young age will encourage them to have self-confidence.
Not to mention they can also function as a reading area or play area .
Although this is much of less of an issue, there is one more advantage; comfort of both the parent and the child. Parents can also lie next to their little ones if necessary before they go to sleep:)
And don't worry, even young babies will choose to get back in their bed once they understand the concept of bedtime and staying in bed:)
