March 20th 2010 Crib Bedding
With any crib set, baby ladybug crib bedding also needs to comply with various standards the choice of the fabric and its skin-friendliness being the paramount factors.
Fundamentally, baby crib bedding is composed of a durable, soft, yet compact mattress, pillows, pillowcases, sheets and duvets relying upon the climate. Dust ruffles, nappy stackers and valances are options that are also available.
Crib bedding is available in a number of patterns, shapes and styles. Crib sets are usually available in either four or six pieces. Duveted, flannel water resistant mattresses are perfect, as they are soft and easy to maintain. Since one is improbable to buy baby crib bedding many times ( babies grow out of cribs in two years or less ), it is best to buy a stain-proof and water-proof mattress. The mattress should be secure into the crib and there shouldn’t be any gaps where baby can jam an arm, leg or head. It’s time to modify the mattress if 2 adult fingers can be put in between the crib and mattress. It’s far better to put a baby in warm zip up pajama bags, rather than use blankets as they can wrap around a baby’s upper torso and cause suffocation.
In regards to sheets, natural fibers are a good choice. Silks and satins should be avoided even though they look fancy, they do not feel as comfortable as cotton and flannel against the baby’s tender skin. Pillows should not be used in a child’s crib to avoid suffocation.
Crib bedding is available in numerous colors and patterns but garish colours should be avoided. Relaxing colors are the best for babies.
