All There Is To Know About Baby
Cot Bedding

Bringing your baby home is one of the most exciting times in any parent's life.
Most mums and dads spend months preparing the nursery so that everything is
perfect for the arrival of the new-born. Baby cot bedding is one of the most
important aspects: as this is where your new bundle of joy will spend most of
their hours in the early months. Safety, convenience and appearance are all
major factors.

What bedding is made from is the most vital
decision. There is a huge choice in fabrics and
designs, but it's all about what's best to lie next
to your infant's delicate skin. You want natural,
breathable and easy-to-wash materials. Pure
cotton is a wise choice, provided it has 200 or
more in thread count. If it's blended with
polyester or has a lower thread count, it can
degrade more quickly: pill, bobble and get
rough.

Good cottons, for example Egyptian cotton sheets, just keep getting softer with
every wash and are almost silk-like to the touch. Jersey knits, pure silk and
wools are also very popular and natural. Just be careful, especially with flannel
sheets and blankets, that your little one doesn't get too warm. Make sure you
have a thermostat and that your infant isn't wearing too many layers.

Keeping baby safe is what every parent is most concerned with. If you're
worried about sheets slipping, consider an elasticated fitted sheet below and
tuck in the top sheet and blanket at the base of the cot, so it can't ride up. Also
think about a well-secured cot bumper for when your little one gets more
mobile. It will stop your child hurting themselves on the sides of the crib.

There are also two-piece sheet systems that can help. The sheet that lies over the
infant is zipped together with the bottom sheet, which fits snuggly over the
mattress. This prevents any kind of slipping of the top sheet. When you need to
change the top sheet, you just unzip it and replace with a clean one.

You'll be doing a lot of washing of infant bedding in this first couple of years.
Make sure you avoid the beautiful but impractical items which require dry clean
only. Save these for a once-off occasion like the naming ceremony or as a
christening blanket. Instead, opt for color fast, quick drying bed ware that
washes at high temperatures.

With the practicalities complete, you can let your imagination run riot. There is
a stunning choice of designs available. Choose an entire nursery set that
matches, or opt for funky individuality. Choose from a theme, or go
sophisticated and plain. Baby bedding selection (jungle baby bedding, zoo
bedding, safari bedding) is all yours, down to your taste.
