Why do we need skirts on the cot?

Quite often baby cots are equipped with soft sides. They are a cover from a dense soft fabric, into which a filler is placed. This means that the baby is not injured in the fall, or when he rolls over in the crib, his pen or leg can not get between the twigs, which is also dangerous. In the crib with the sides the child feels comfortable, as it is protected from drafts, toys are all with him and you can still concentrate on examining the drawings on the fabric.
