Come to found out, it is a Dutch tradition where they placed cradle crosses over the beds of their infant children. It is supposed to symbolize the Christian faith, and by placing it over their bed they hoped that it would become a part of the child's consciousness.
The wooden cross has Matthew 19:14 engraved into the cross. The scripture reads, "Jesus said 'Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.'"
