Infant bed - online puzzles
An infant bed (commonly called a cot in British English, and, in American English, a crib or cradle, or far less commonly, stock ) is a small bed especially for infants and very young children. Infant beds are a historically recent development intended to contain a child capable of standing. The cage - like design of infant beds restricts the child to the bed. Around two or three years of age, children are able to climb out and are moved to a toddler bed to prevent an injurious fall while escaping the bed.
Infant beds are commonly seen in countries affected by Westernization, employed by the majority of parents as an alternative to sharing a bed or due to cultural norms.
