You may not realize it but being very organized is important when you become pregnant. You are about to embark on a wonderful journey that will change your life drastically. It is important that you begin that journey well prepared and as stress free as possible. This can be accomplished by staying as organized as possible. One of the best ways that you can start this is by preparing the child’s room and bedding before the enter this world.
If you have opted not to know the sex of your baby before they are born, you may be concerned with that that decor of their room will not suite them. There is nothing to worry about, you can choose from a large variety of cot bedding that will be perfect for your child whether they turn out to be a boy or a girl.
Bear in mind that while we adults spend an average of eight hours per day, i.e. twenty-four hours, in bed, baby spends almost all of the twenty-four hours in bed! The very first item on your priority checklist is Safety. We tend to forget the simple fact that baby can’t say if it feels uncomfortable. We parents must think proactively and ensure the chosen cot beddings are safe from all aspects. For instance, the view that very soft beds are most comfortable for baby isn’t true. The bedding should be slightly firm. Also, desist from piling the cot with cuddly toys and teddy bears and pillows. Adults may find them colorful and lovely but not baby. These can turn into hazards because baby could accidentally suffocate. Keep the cot clear of all pillows and soft toys!
Tucking baby into a heavy blanket to keep cold draughts away is equally foolish. The normal thrashing of babys limbs can bring such blankets over its face and interfere with breathing. Next, plan to keep your baby’s nursery fully stocked with bedding essentials. Its hard to talk exact numbers of sheets needed; After all, except for bawling, baby cant really tell you it needs changing and how often! But blankets and cot sheets might have to be changed several times a day. Pure cotton sheets are best and I’ve already told you about using light blankets. A tip: check the thread count of the cot sheets you buy.
Plastic cod bedding should be avoided as it can lead to skin irritation. If the plastic part of the bedding ever becomes dislodged, it could become wrapped around your child’s face, which may lead to suffocation.
Lets get back once more to babys cot. To recap, lets picture baby lying comfortably on a soft but firm mattress covered with cotton cot sheet and tucked into a light yet warm blanket of pretty design ” not a drab pastel uni-color please! Babies don’t need a pillow and shouldn’t have one until they are over 12 months old.. Similarly, babys cot wont be laden with soft toys of various shapes, sizes, and colors. All done, you can be reassured that darling baby is enjoying a safe slumber.
