Baby Bedding

When choosing baby bedding, the main considerations are safety, comfort and practicality. Apart from these considerations, the bedding must also blend in with the decor theme in the nursery.

To ensure your baby’s safety, your baby should sleep on a firm, flat mattress with nothing but a fitted sheet under him or her. All of the bedding that you are considering should have a bottom sheet that fits snuggly against the crib mattress.

Bumbers

Crib bumper pads are soft cushions that fit around the inside of a crib and prevent the baby from injuring themselves if they bang their head against the cot sides. A note of caution: many health agencies are now recommending that parents skip the crib bumper completely, saying that using these products may actually put babies at greater risk for suffocation.

Material

Stay away from fabrics such as chenille because your baby can pull the fabric out, cotton is the best material for baby blankets.

Pillows

There is no need for a baby pillow, so you can cross that item off your shopping list. Pillows aren’t safe, as they can lead to suffocation.

Waterproofing

Sheet protectors are a wonderful idea, since diapers often leak at night. A sheet protector is a piece of cloth that is waterproof on one side. If there is leakage at night, you can just pull one sheet protector off and put another one on, protecting your other baby bedding.
