While selecting baby bedding for your nursery you must take into account safety problems, trend of your room, gender, and a prolonged usage. As exciting as setting up an infant’s nursery can be, with a little planning, the room may be designed in a way that is quite suitable for toddlers. Babies don’t stay little for long, so you will appreciate it’s longevity more and more as your baby grows.

Safety is the most important thing when you are deciding on baby bedding. A firm mattress, without pillow quilting, and a fitted sheet are musts. For convenience, you’ll appreciate using fitted mattress sheets. This will help avoid your baby getting entangled or suffocated. A waterproof pad underneath the sheets is a must in order to protect the mattress from wet accidents.

For your baby’s safety, you should avoid using a pillow or quilt, no matter how cute, until your baby is well over the age of one. Forget about buying your infant expensive pillows and comforters. Avoid blankets altogether. Since you will not need these until your child is older, don’t spend the cash now; later, when it becomes necessary, you can figure out what to purchase. When choosing a comforter for your child’s bedding, get a duvet cover, too. It’ll make washing much easier.

Although crib bumpers are of limited usefulness, they usually form a part of a babies bedding set. While the crib bumper will protect your child from banging into the end of the crib or from some drafts, it will present a risk of suffocation or entrapment.

If you know that you’re going to have a boy, then you can feel free to buy baby boy beding. Stay away from styles that are too specific to a newborn; you will likely regret your choices in two or three years when you have to redecorate the whole nursery for a growing child.

While many parents buy other bedding materials, the bare minimum that you have to have is a firm mattress, crib sheet, and some warm pajamas for your infant.

This is a use and throw culture. But certain things connected with baby, we want to hold. During pregnancy, many people will offer their old nursery furniture and crib bedding. Since babies are a costly undertaking, be thankful for this selection of cribs and bedding for infants. You must ensure, nevertheless, that the bedding and crib that you will use for your baby are safe before you put your baby in them.

Whatever you decide, a Moses basket or crib, the first bed belonging to your baby will no doubt be something special and a keepsake. If someone has been kind enough to give you their crib you will most likely want to clean it up and perhaps repaint it. It is a good idea to check the safety of the crib while you are in the process of refinishing it. Look closely at the baby bedding and crib that you have received to make sure that they are safe, even if the appear to be new. If the cradle is of wicker, check up the joints and remove any loose things. The mattress must be replaced as it would have definitely become bad. Babies like to put things in their mouth, so be sure that no loose ends or pieces of material are left over when fitting the skirt.

When you are putting up new drapes, check to see that there are no loose threads or dangling material that a baby might be able to get a hold of and put in his/her mouth. It is suggested by the Juvenile Products Manufacturer’s Association (JPMA) in America, and also by and British Standards (BS) in the United Kingdom, that you should not use old blankets and baby furniture if you can possibly replace them. Purchase new bed goods for your child’s safety. Look out for products which either display JPMA seal of approval or the BS ‘Kite’ mark, as they have been tested painstakingly to meet all the safety regulations.

Secondhand items are perfectly reasonable as long as you’re sure that the items are safe. It’s always a good idea to recycle, even items like nursery furniture and baby bedding. Spending the time and effort to ensure that your little one is safe in his crib is paramount as he will be spending quite a bit of time unsupervised, so doing the proper checks of his crib is of the utmost importance. To maximize safety in your baby’s bedding, follow these points. The most important issue is that of paint, check for lead paint, and any chipped or peeling pieces and that the surface is smooth to the touch to prevent baby’s clothes from catching. Make sure you purchase a crib where the bars are extremely close together, (closer than 2 & 3/8 inches apart), and there are no holes anywhere, to protect your baby’s head. If your crib wobbles you must check the joints and fixings to assure that they are tightened. You will want to make sure the side rail can be lowered or raised using one hand and when it is all the way up is is securely in place. Last, the mattress should be clean and not too soft, and be sure that the side rail is no lower than 22 inches above the crib mattress.

I will always buy a new, snug fit mattress for a new baby. Nursery bedding may cause babies to suffocate, so you have to be careful to tie the strings of the bumper tightly or don’t use a bumper at all. Babies under the age of 12 months should not have access to the following in their cribs: duvets, quilts, sheepskin or pillows, while use of these items could cause overheating. Blankets and sheets with a good thermometer in the babies room will help assure comfort. Babies can climb much better than a lot of people think. That is why to ensure safety, you should never put their crib next to cords, lamps, window blinds/curtains or furniture.

Always remember to enjoy every moment with your baby, they grow up before you even realize it.
