In Montessori teaching, from the first few months, the bassinet or cradle can be placed in the cabin bed during naps to accustom the baby to their environment. After a few months, as soon as they begin to move around, the child can be placed directly in their cabin bed. Recommendations indicate that babies should be placed in the parents' room until 6 months to prevent the risk of SIDS. The Hedgehog model is best suited for children under 2 years old.

Every child is different, so I can't give a precise answer... But based on feedback from moms, I could simply answer: - As with my baby, the adjustment can be quick and easy. He never goes out in the middle of the night. He gets up and leaves his room to join us once daybreak. In the middle of the night, if he needs to, he calls me. But the quiet and darkness encourage him to stay in his bed. That's what all parents hope for! - Some children are developing their motor skills and initially explore their room and world. They may sometimes fall asleep on the rug next to the bed. Having access to toys and books makes them want to explore. After a while, the child will choose to go to their bed, which is more comfortable.

Yes, no problem! I breastfeed my baby every day and I even go back to sleep with him. The only problem is that the bed can creak (friction of the wooden slats on the structure). The trick is to put adhesive foam, like a window or door seal, on the bar where the bed base is placed. You can find this foam in DIY stores for less than 5 euros. That's also the advantage of the cabin bed, being able to accompany your child to bedtime in their big bed and in their room.

Children have a fundamental need to lie on the floor because that's how they take root. It's a strange notion for adults, but if we all go back in our memories, we remember that we were all on the floor when we were little and even teenagers. Maria Montessori scientifically demonstrated that children who have furniture adapted to their size, allowing them to touch their feet on the floor, develop superior abilities to children who do not have their feet on the floor. So, no high chair or bouncer! This is a fundamental need for children from 0 to 6 years old. Being in contact with the floor is essential to their development. Having their feet and body on the floor allows the child to concentrate and refocus. Montessori beds are precisely on the floor to allow the child to lie on the floor whenever they want. A bed that allows this is a good bed! If you find your child asleep on the floor, this is normal and very good for their development. Children don't have back pain, so there's no need to worry about it. Who doesn't have a childhood memory of falling asleep on the floor? In Montessori schools, most activities take place on the floor or on specially adapted furniture. There may be rugs, but they are only there to demarcate the work area and protect the materials. It is really important that children always maintain contact with the floor. This is why we avoid high chairs and cribs, where the child feels like they are in a cage and locked in, for example. Our Housswood cabin beds allow your child to fall asleep peacefully, cocooned in their own space on a soft mattress (like a comfortable little cloud). And during the night, they can lie on the floor if they feel the need. I recommend you read the book "The Child" by Maria Montessori, which explains very well this fundamental need for contact with the ground.
