Whether this is your first shopping experience for the new baby or you’re in the midst of a shopping spree to fill the adorable nursery as quickly as possible, take the time to get the facts on the safest and stylish crib bedding for 2009. Normally when we think of bedding for our own master bedrooms, we picture slip covers, comforters, and dust ruffles. However, when it comes to nursery bedding there are several safety factors that need to be considered when you are in the process of outfitting your baby’s crib.

Perfect Fit Mattress – Before you begin to cover the crib mattress with a snug fitting sheet, check to make sure that the mattress fits tightly within the frame of the crib. If you’re able to fit two of your fingers between the mattress and the frame, your child is at risk as they can get stuck within this space. During the baby’s first two years, it’s best for them to sleep on a mattress that is more firm, flat, and set at a low level in terms of height once your child is able to sit up or stand on their own. Soft, plush mattresses along with heavy crib blankets or comforters don’t provide enough air circulation for newborns to sleep comfortably and safely through the night, not to mention put babies at a higher risk for SIDS.

Safe Crib Bumpers –According to a study highlighted on the American Academy of Pediatrics’ (APA) website, the dangerous effects of adding crib bumpers outweigh the benefits. Crib bumpers became popular in older-style cribs where the slats were further apart so that a baby’s head could have fit between the slats, posing a suffocation risk. Today, all cribs sold in the US and Canada must have slats close enough to each other that it would be nearly impossible for an infant’s head to fit through. Standard bumpers found in crib bedding sets are not recommended because if a baby were to roll into a soft, plush bumper, it creates the potential risk of the child not being able to breathe – not to mention the risk of SIDS is higher for infants who sleep in a crib with a bumper. However, there is a small selection of specific breathable crib bumpers that offer a number of lifesaving benefits that standard bumpers simply don’t provide.

BreathableBaby.com offers a safer solution for your child with their breathable mesh fabric bumper that fits snugly around cribs of different sizes and shapes. This item protects your child from entanglement and head injury or bruising while providing sufficient air circulation for the child to breathe normally if they were to roll into the side of the crib.
