Good night, sweetheart...
Here's a list of what you'll need to get your baby linens ready:
- Crib Bedding (Have you decided on a nursery theme? If not, we can help with plenty of ideas)
- Two to four fitted crib sheets (and/or bassinet)
- Four to eight receiving blankets (can also use for swaddling)
- Two to three mattress pads (crib and/or bassinet)
- One to three waterproof liners (crib and/or bassinet)
- Two to four baby blankets
- Nursing pillow
- Accessories (to match your crib bedding.wallpaper, lamp(s), pictures, blankets)
Your baby's bedding is an important purchase now only because it will keep your newborn comfortable, but it will also keep your baby safe. That's right! Bedding can keep your baby safe if you understand that it needs to be snug fitting. Although the "Back to Sleep" program that instructs parents to place babies on their back for slumber, suffocation is still a risk. Simply avoid the risk of suffocation by using well made, breathable materials. Avoid fluffy comforters until your baby can lift her head and is able to move items like blankets from her face.
You will also consider your nursery decor when you select baby bedding. Many color schemes include pastels, but keep in mind that bright primary colors will be the most engaging for your newborn. Research indicates that black and red are the first colors that your baby will see. Many parent-friendly books and interactive toys discuss this. However, you know that pastel colors have been used for years in baby nurseries and children have been raised properly. When it comes to raising children, your greatest weapon is: relaxation. When you are relaxed, your baby will "feel" this and your interactions will be splendid.
