A baby's bed is an important piece of furniture for a newborn. It can come in many forms, such as a CRADLE, CRIB, COT, or BASSINET. A CRADLE is a small bed with sides that rock back and forth, usually made of wood or wicker. A CRIB is a larger bed with high sides and a slatted bottom, designed to keep the baby safe. A COT is a bed with a mattress on a frame, often used for toddlers. A BASSINET is a basket-like bed with a hood, usually made of fabric, and is suitable for newborns.
