It is natural that a new parent like you often get a lot of new experiences centering around your baby. Knowing what to register or purchase for your new child can be difficult. One essential item–often overlooked by new parents–is the baby bedding for the crib because any baby bed will require some type of bedding for cleanliness and comfort of the baby.
When looking at your baby bedding options, you should find out what your family and friends are planning to gift you. Baby bedding has become quite extensive in the range of items available such as simple organic crib sheets all the way to crib sets which can include decorative pillows as well as bumpers. Although there are many baby bedding options available, many things are not necessary such as decorative pillows and quilts which can pose a risk to the baby.
The fitted crib sheet is going to be the most essential item of baby bedding. The prices of these vary due to the different materials used in production, they can be very cheap. If you are searching for inexpensive items cotton blends and synthetics are right for you and if you go for organic things you have to a lot more for your crib bedding. Fitted crib sheets should be 100% cotton because pure cotton is hypoallergenic, it draws heat and moisture away, and it helps keep the baby dry.
Baby bedding made from 100% cotton rather than a synthetic or cotton blend is your best choice if you wish to provide a dirt and germ free environment for your newborn. Cotton’s versatility makes it equally appropriate for warm or cold climates, but parents can also purchase organic fleece and flannel sheets if they want warmer crib bedding. A baby should always be given a dry bed which will give comfort to the baby and also prevent diaper rashes.
Pillows and quilts are not normally used by most mothers as they only need about three up to four crib sheets for their babies. The pillows or blankets placed on the baby may cause suffocation so no pillows or blankets should be placed on the baby irrespective of which baby bedding you are selecting.
Going to the store, looking at all the baby bedding sets available, and checking prices can always be quite overwhelming. You want to make the nursery as inviting and attractive as possible, and bright colors do entertain babies as well as guests who are checking out your new baby girl baby bedding. Always have plenty of sheets as babies will wet themselves several times, with some leakage, and baby bedding may need to be changed several times daily, especially if the baby is ill.
