I could move it wherever I wanted because of those wheels, so up close to my side of the bed she rolled and I could feel that she was more and more content. It’s breathable and open because the sides are made of rails, but it’s a small enough space that it’s cozy. But the *exact night* she turned one month old, you bet your applesauce she did. I’m not going to pretend like my newborn baby slept a full night her first night home. Assembly was a breeze-it basically came in five parts minus the wheels and a couple of sturdy screws here and there were all it took. I love the two-tone wood and rounded edges, almost as much as I love the wheels that make it mobile (it’s truly not even heavy, we roll it between rooms regularly). When my baby is ready, we’ll convert it to full-size, satisfying my need to have the crib checked off my list too. The Cloud Crib is a mini crib in its first phase, and it fit perfectly next to my bed.

They’re all convertible, the idea being you buy one piece of furniture that lasts through all the early childhood stages.

They have five main styles in various colors, and I got the Cloud Crib in its original colorway: brown and white wood. The family-run factory in Brazil where they’re made uses sustainable materials and a no-inventory model (meaning they handmake your crib after you place the order). Nestig cribs are designed to be your child’s safe sleep surface from newborn to toddler age. Like a bundle of joy dropped down by a stork, Nestig came to answer my laundry list of musts. I also wanted something breathable, not too high tech but not too flimsy, cute but without a lot of ruffles and netting and patterns. We also weren’t doing a nursery yet since a move was on the horizon (meaning, no dedicated room to put a large crib, but my nesting instincts at the time were having none of that). But in our very vertical townhouse, our room wasn’t all that big. We decided our baby would sleep in our room with us. And then there was Nestig.įunctionally convertible, aesthetically adorable, Nestig ended up being everything I wanted in a crib. There were mesh ones, mini ones, rocking ones and portable ones.

If I had to guess, I’d say I spent multiple days worth of hours researching safe sleep and then the bassinets and cribs that fit the bill. So agonizing over where and on what my LO was going to sleep felt justified. Sleep is exactly one third of the predictable newborn baby cycle: Eat.
