Making Baby Bedding Safe For Your Little One

There is nothing more wonderful during pregnancy than planning your baby's nursery. If you have decided to find out the gender of your baby, you can have the room all ready for him or her with specific colors or a themes when you come home from the hospital. If you decide not to know the gender you can use gender neutral colors to design the perfect nursery for your little one. One of the toughest choices is picking out the baby bedding for the crib. These are some tips on how to create a safe and restful environment for your kids.


Make sure the baby's crib has a firm, tight-fitting mattress.
Use a tight fitting bottom sheet that is made for a crib mattress. Make sure it is secure so you do not have to worry about it coming loose and covering your baby's face in the night.
Remove all pillows, comforters, blankets, toys and stuffed animals from the crib before laying your child down to sleep. Those items can cause suffocation.
If you use bumper pads they should fit around the entire crib, tie or snap into place and have straps or ties at least in each corner, in the middle of each long side and on both the top and bottom edges to keep them secure. To prevent your baby from becoming entangled in the ties, trim off excess length after tying them to the crib. Bumpers should be removed as soon as your child is able to pull up and stand because they can step on the bumper and fall or climb out of the crib.
