Young parents face many challenges, and one of them is choosing bedding for the new member of their family.
Since babies spend most of their time sleeping, moms and dads must provide them with comfortable and restful sleep.
That's why you should carefully choose your sheets and duvet covers.
Why is there no mention of a pillowcase in this list? The thing is that pillows are not recommended for children under one year old. Accordingly, there is no need to purchase a pillowcase.
If you decide to purchase this detail, choose soft natural fabrics.
This requirement also applies to other bed linen.
A good option is items made of chintz, satin, ranforce, calico, cotton, bamboo, twill, flannel, percale or flannel.
As for sheets, the most convenient models are those with elastic bands that are put on the mattress. This way, the baby will definitely not be able to pull out the edge of the fabric.
But Velcro sheets are not such a successful invention, since they sometimes stick to the mattress, and when washed in a washing machine, they can catch on the fabric.
When choosing duvet covers, you need to be guided by the size of the blanket, which is usually 100 by 140 cm or 90 by 100 cm.
One of the main requirements for the quality of a duvet cover is good air permeability.
It should also be equipped with a zipper, because models with buttons, a slit in the center or on the side are not suitable for small children: they can get tangled in such a duvet cover or tear off the buttons, which is unsafe.
