One of the most thrilling and stressful experiences one can have in life is the day you bring home your newborn. You’re anticipating your new baby with excitement, but you’re also concerned about creating a safe environment for your new child. Hazards in the baby’s crib are often overlooked. Thousands of infants are injured and killed as a result of poorly arranged crib decorations and baby bedding. One need not struggle to find out the causes for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome(SIDS) but one can prevent it easily.
When shopping for the babies bedding set look for one’s that are most appealing to you for your baby. There are a lot of decisions you can make by the different manufacturer’s there are on the market. However, be careful when making a choice in babies bedding sets. All of your baby’s bedding should be washed with ultra-gentle baby detergent before your child uses it. You must choose the blankets very carefully as sometimes a simple bug-spray upwind of the blankets could hurt the baby.
Baby room decor and baby bedding sets should be used with quality mattresses because a cheap mattress might have a lining that will tear and expose springs that might hurt your baby. The movement you find any sort of wear,change the crib mattress according to your earliest convenience. A mattress pad is supposed to fit under the sheets, and should fit the mattress tightly. A crib mattress should be thick, but not so thick that sheets can’t stretch to cover it and pop up.
Bedding should be routinely checked for tears and loose strings that a baby could potentially become trapped in. Crib bumpers prevent babies from rubbing against the rails in a crib, but they must be tied tightly and checked for loose strings or flaps.
Your baby should not have any toys in the crib when they are sleeping. Even such seemingly harmless things as stuffed animals can be dangerous to a baby if the toys should fall on the baby’s face. Supervising your child’s playtime sometimes includes removing all toys from the crib when baby is sleeping. A special foam wedge will elevate a baby’s head if needed as pillows are simply not necessary. Mesh canopies are very good at keeping out mosquitoes and pets.
