Mini Cribs are just that…mini. They are a great option for new babies because they really can fit all over the house. You can have your baby sleep in your room for the first few months, without investing in a separate co-sleeper. You can put them in a nook (or a closet) if you don’t have a separate nursery space.

Some of these are so basic that I think we forget them when looking to put together a room. Six Double Duty Basics: 1. The crib.
