Why choose a cradle for baby’s first nights?

A cradle is much more than just a place to sleep – it’s your baby’s very first nest. With its compact size and gentle enclosure, a cradle recreates the familiar feeling of the womb, helping your newborn settle more easily into a regular sleep routine.

For parents, a cradle offers the perfect balance of safety, closeness, and comfort. Its size allows it to sit neatly beside your bed, making night-time feeds and comforting easier – all while keeping your baby in their own dedicated sleep space.

A soft and soothing cocoon for your newborn

Unlike a standard cot, a cradle offers a smaller, more enclosed sleeping space that helps your newborn feel safe and secure. With typical dimensions around 45 x 90 cm, it provides just the right amount of room for peaceful rest without overwhelming your baby.

Petite Amélie’s cradles feature smooth curves, natural materials and thoughtful details. Add a light baby blanket or a gentle mobile to create a cosy, calming atmosphere in your nursery – a place your little one will love to drift off in.

Cradles – close, safe, and comforting

A cradle, also known as a co-sleeper, allows your baby to sleep safely right next to you – without sharing the same bed. Designed with one open or adjustable side, these cradles attach securely to your bed frame, making night-time feeds and soothing easier while maintaining a separate, secure sleep space for your baby.

This closeness can bring extra comfort and bonding during those early weeks, while ensuring that your little one sleeps in line with the highest safety standards. Petite Amélie’s cradles are beautifully designed, practical, and built to support restful nights for both baby and parents.

Safety first – our commitment to your baby

At Petite Amélie, your baby’s safety is our top priority. Our cradle collection is thoroughly tested and fully compliant with EN 1130 European safety standards. We design each model with care to ensure it’s stable, non-toxic, and free from any sharp edges or loose parts.

Key safety features of our cradles include:

  • A minimum internal depth of 30 cm for added security
  • Slatted bases for optimal airflow and breathability
  • Rounded edges and child-safe finishes
  • Sleeping surface can be set at 9 different heights
  • One-handed side lowering for easy nighttime access
  • Durable construction made to last

With a Petite Amélie cradle, you can rest easy knowing your baby is sleeping in a well-designed, protective environment.

Choosing the right mattress for healthy sleep

A supportive mattress is essential for your baby’s comfort and safety. Our cot mattress and linen collection is designed to fit perfectly into Petite Amélie cradles (typically 45 x 90 cm), offering the firmness needed to support your baby’s spine, while also being breathable and hypoallergenic.

Our mattresses feature:

  • A firm core for healthy posture
  • A snug fit to eliminate gaps
  • Breathable, baby-safe materials
  • Removable, washable covers
  • No harmful substances

For added peace of mind, we recommend using a breathable mattress protector to keep the sleeping space clean and dry — especially during those early weeks.

Sleep safety tips for peace of mind

Creating a safe sleep environment is one of the best things you can do for your baby. Follow these simple guidelines to ensure restful and risk-free nights:

  • It's recommended to place your baby on their back, with their feet touching the foot of the cradle.
  • Avoid pillows and thick blankets – a properly sized sleeping bag is a safer choice
  • Keep sheets tightly fitted, with no loose fabric
  • Make sure cords, strings, and other hazards are well out of reach
  • Transition to a cot once your baby can roll, sit, or pull up independently

These small precautions can make a big difference to your baby's safety and your own peace of mind.
