Do’s
Sleeping is one of those things
that a baby excels in and grandmas even cite the fact that small babies grow
while they sleep. Now one is sure about the anecdote but these are essential
parameters to be considered while choosing baby bedding:
Choose a Firm Mattress: We may think a cushy mattress would be
ideal for a baby. On the contrary, babies come with soft bones that are yet to
develop. Hence a firm mattress will serve as better support and necessary
comfort for the baby. In order, to check the firmness, one can push down on the
mattress and if it comes back to shape without indents, the mattress is firm enough.
Use Light Breathable Materials: Babies are not capable of
regulating their body temperatures, so it is easy for them to feel the ambient
heat and get irritated. This, at times, can be followed by a body rash. Keeping
this in mind, a baby can be provided comfort by using breathable materials for
their bedding. The best material for baby bedding is cotton.
Tight Fitting Sheets: Apart from the firm mattress, you also need
to use bed sheets that firmly grasp the mattress. Using loose sheets can be
problematic for the baby, while they shift positions during sleep (if not
swaddled). Hence, it is prudent for a parent to ensure that the bed sheets are
firmly held to the mattresses for the baby’s comfort.
Don’ts
Blankets: It is a good idea not to have blankets in the baby’s
crib. The blanket can be a potential choke hazard for the baby. As a parent,
you might want to wait till the baby turns a year old to introduce a blanket
into the crib.
Pillows & Stuffed Animals: Although, they make the crib look
adorable, they pose the same dangers to the baby as blankets. Wait for the baby
to grow into a toddler before introducing stuffed animals into the crib on the
baby’s bedding.
Too Much Clothing: When putting the baby to sleep make sure to have
the simplest of clothes on the baby unless it is chilly outside. A lot of
clothing can actually hinder the baby’s sleep cycle. Hence it can be good
practice to put the baby to sleep in the simplest of clothes on the baby’s
bedding.
Conclusion:
While there be an abundance of sleep-related
accessories in the market for the baby. It is in the best interest of the baby
to have the simplest of sleeping arrangements. The baby’s comfort is paramount
when it comes to the baby’s bedding. Think with a steady and practical mind
while making a selection for the baby’s bedding. As a parent, you are the
person best suited for making correct judgments for the baby, always have this
at the back of your mind.
