Baby cradles are invaluable tools for supporting your baby’s sleep, offering many parents a time-saving solution in childcare. With so many electric cradles available, how can you choose a safe and suitable one for your baby? Let’s explore some information with AVAKids!
Should you use an electric cradle for your baby?
Electric cradles offer many benefits for mothers, especially providing more rest time after the baby falls asleep. Besides that, here are some wonderful benefits of using an electric cradle that mothers should know:
- Helps babies adapt to the outside environment quickly during their first few months. The rocking motion of the cradle simulates the movement of the mother’s womb.
- Babies fall asleep more easily thanks to the rocking motion of the electric cradle. Furthermore, when sleeping in an electric cradle, babies sleep more soundly and are less easily awakened.
- Stimulates the baby’s sensory system, preventing the baby’s brain from feeling overloaded.
- Using an electric cradle helps babies sleep better, preventing them from being startled and crying all day, which can tire and stress mothers. Using this product also gives mothers free time to rest and do other things.
- Electric cradles offer a rocking motion similar to a hammock, with various rocking modes for convenience. Importantly, daily use of an electric cradle does not harm the baby’s spine.

At what age can a baby use an electric cradle?
Electric cradles are usually suitable for babies from 6 months old. However, before letting your baby use one, please carefully consult the manufacturer’s instructions regarding weight, rolling ability, sleeping space, etc. to make the right choice!
When your baby grows larger than the electric cradle, parents should consider moving the baby to a bed or crib. The size of regular cradles is usually small and limits sleeping space, which can affect the baby’s height growth.

Parents should consider moving their baby to a bed or crib when they get older
Notes when using an electric cradle for your baby
- Appropriate rocking speed: Too strong a rocking speed can harm the child, making them uncomfortable in the electric cradle.
- When first using the cradle, use a gentle rocking mode. Let the baby get used to it before adjusting to other rocking modes. This will help the baby get used to the electric cradle more easily.
- Do not let the child lie in the cradle for many hours at a time. This will allow the baby’s bones to develop normally.
- Use a restraint to prevent the baby from falling: As the baby develops to the point of being able to roll over, they may be playful and fall out of the cradle, leading to injuries.
- Turn off the cradle when the baby is fast asleep.
- To avoid developing a bad habit of needing to be rocked to sleep, parents should avoid overusing the electric cradle all day and consider the necessary usage time.
