What elements and lingerie do you need for the arrival of your baby?
The arrival of a baby is always full of uncertainties, illusions, thoughts that you would never imagine. But, above all, your mind is filled with an endless list of things that the new member of the house may need. And that's why we are here, we are going to give you a couple of tips so that you can get your baby's crib ready for the big day. What a baby needs in its first days can be very important, especially if you are first-time parents.
Crib bedding consists of several elements. At Happyfriday, we take care of every detail, because for most of the day the baby will be sleeping. Here we go:
Before choosing the crib bedding, you must consider the measures you are going to choose, cot (60 x 120) or cot bed (70 x 140). Once you have chosen it, pay attention to everything you need. Take note!
Fitted sheet: Must be adjustable, to avoid wrinkles that could disturbance the baby while is sleeping. In addition, as it is in direct contact with the skin throughout the night, and even during part of the day, we recommend that it be soft, and 100% cotton, this way we will prevent skin from being irritated.
Bed Sheet set: Like the fitted sheet, the sheets we put in the crib should be soft. Our 150-thread cotton sheets provide a lighter and more comforting touch, to help your baby enjoy his or her deepest dreams.
Duvet cover set: It must be adjusted to the cradle and be attached, this way we will avoid that the baby can suffer some unforeseen event during the night. There are different thicknesses of filling, and multiple designs to choose from, but we leave this to your choice, nobody knows your baby better than you.
Plaid: In its first days, or even months, the baby will spend a lot of time sleeping in different rooms of the house. That’s why we recommend Swaddling him/her snugly in a plaid. You must make sure you keep your baby well secured, this way you will avoid him/her to roll up by him/herself in case he/she is restless. As far as direct contact with the skin is concerned, as with the rest of Happyfriday products, our manufacture is 100% cotton, which means it will be soft and sweet to the touch and will not cause irritation.
Bumper: Safety comes first during the first weeks of life, so we need maximum protection during sleeping hours. One of the key pieces of crib bedding are the crib bumpers. It is essential to prevent baby from bumping into the crib bars.
Pillow: Baby doesn’t need a pillow with padding; however, the pillowcase will be perfect for those times when baby spits up during the night.
As an extra, it is always necessary to have a change of both fitted sheets, pillow and set of sheets, because, in the first days, weeks and/or months, the baby will get quite dirty and it is advisable to change everything a couple of times a week. In addition, this will help to facilitate their rest, and yours.
When you choose the crib bedding, you should consider all the elements we have mentioned and the advice for each of them. Remember, before the first use, it is recommended to wash everything paying attention to the washing instructions.
