Congratulations on your pregnancy! Being pregnant is a new, fun and, above all, exciting time in which many changes take place. Not only physically, but also in your house. For example, you will probably be looking for inspiring ideas for furnishing the baby room. You may have already thought of the most necessary items such as a crib or cot, changing table and wardrobe. Did you know that bedding for the baby bed is also important to think about? That is why we have listed the most important tips for you.
The baby who is still growing nice and warm in your belly, will soon be born. It is important that you can let your little darling sleep comfortably and safely in the crib or cot, so that he or she has a good (night's) rest and can grow well.Beautiful decoration in the nursery room is of course nice, but the most important thing is that your child sleeps safely. That is why it is advisable to make the bed of your little one as simple as possible. Put as few accessories as possible, such as hugs and other loose things in the crib. This way your little one will fall asleep as safely as possible.
A duvet is not recommended for children up to 2 years. A blanket in a duvet cover is allowed. Make sure that the blanket fits well in the cover and that you put it in properly. When your child moves from a crib to a toddler bed, you must replace the sleeping bag with a toddler comforter.
When you choose to let your baby sleep under a sheet with blanket, make the bed short and tight. That is, the feet should be placed at the foot of the bed and the sheet and blanket should not be higher than the shoulders. Tuck the sheet and blanket in well on the sides and bottom. Avoid under the mattress at the foot end, otherwise your child will not be completely flat.
Always place your baby on his or her back in the crib, as advised by the maternity care and the clinic. In this way the face is free. If your child prefers not to sleep on his / her back, consult with the childcare center what you can do best.
Then take a look at the Pregnancy and Baby Guide from NHS. Here you can learn more about how to make a baby bed safely.
