When does baby leave cradle?

Maiyko AI ADVISOR

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Babies can generally transition from cradle to regular bed around 5-6 months. The most important criteria for this transition are:

Physical indicators:

  • Baby can sit on their own
  • Has started crawling
  • Can pull up and stand holding the cradle rails (in this case, fall risk is high)

Safety note: If the baby can hold onto cradle rails and stand up, reaches the top rail with their height (approximately 90 cm), or has turned 2 years old, it's time to transition from cradle to bed. Don't forget to put a protective barrier next to the bed; in the first nights you can keep soft pillows or blankets on the floor next to it to make potential falls safer.
