Check that you have all the pieces as listed in the instructions. If not, you will need to call the store and exchange the crib for a new one.
If for some reason you do not have the instructions then you can still check to make sure you have all the pieces. Most cribs will include a headboard, footboard, rails (the long sides of the crib; one rail is usually a drop rail, meaning that it can lower so that you can access your baby easily), some kind of mattress support (can be simply a board or can be a board with springs) and a mattress. It may also have two long thin side boards as support between the headboard and footboard, especially if both rails can move up and down (drop rails).
Unpack the crib pieces and make sure you have everything listed on the assembly instructions.
Lay the headboard flat on the ground and attach the latch brackets onto the inside of the headboard (if they aren't already attached).
Attach the stationary rail to the headboard and footboard. Then, attach the mattress support to the base of the crib.
Attach the drop rail(s) to the front of the crib and slide the mattress into place.
Check the condition of the pieces of your crib. Make sure that none of the pieces are damaged, for example showing splintered wood or peeling paint. This is especially true for secondhand cribs although you should also check the condition of new cribs to make sure they are safe for your baby.[1]
If you see any damage such as splintering, mold, peeling paint, sharp corners or dampness then you will want to test your pieces carefully and perhaps obtain a new crib. Damaged pieces have the possibility of breaking, potentially harming your baby. You should also make sure that the spacing between the slats is no wider than 2 3/8 inches (6 cm)
Read the instructions carefully. Every crib has its own particular instructions that you should follow carefully. It is important to be attentive to these instructions because a mistake in assembling a crib could actually endanger the baby's life. Be thorough, and don't rush.
If you do not have instructions for your crib, perhaps if you lost them or are using a secondhand crib, often you will be able to find the manufacturer’s instructions online. Go the the website of the manufacturer and search for your crib model to try to obtain these.
If you still cannot find the instructions then it should
