Finding Position Cot Bedding For Babies

Last week I accompanied my news reporter friend to a seminar organized by a Baby Care Organization. It was mainly on Baby-Safety. An estimated 2, 500 new born babies die every year. The researchers found that many SIDS are caused due to suffocation by extra accessories like pillow, blankets etc. Here I'm presenting the views of expert pediatricians about crib sets for new parents.

The sheets especially should be a snug fit over the mattress. Most crib sizes are now fairly standard, but it is always better to check before buying. Some sheets and mattresses now come with elastic straps that can be used to tighten the fit of the sheet. This is very important because of the risk of suffocation by fitting sheets.

You can find baby Bedding sets very easily in baby stores and online and although you may like to go shopping internet shopping is far easier when you are pregnant. There are many different styles and designs to choose from so you will need to decide what type you want. Although many women are told the sex of their baby before it is born, you may not want to know so will need a neutral color. If you do know the sex of the baby then you can buy crib bedding in the color coordinating with the sex.

Bumpers cover the rails of the crib that may be hazardous to a young child. Whether it is your first or your fifth child, your babies health and well being will forever be on your mind.

Dimensions should also be a consideration that you think about. Don't use the standard measurements for the size of your bed. If your mattress is extra thick it may end up making your comforter look too small. Measure the width and then add an amount equal to the drop on each side. Also measure the length adding in the drop on one side. This will give you a perfect size to look for although you may not be able to find a comforter that is exactly that size.

One of the most important things you need to keep in mind when shopping for comforter sets is the size of your bed. Although most beds are a fairly standard size the thickness of the mattress can influence the size of the comforter you may want to buy. Measure your bed and write down the dimensions before you shop. You should measure starting from the point that the comforter should reach on one side of the bed. Carry on up over the mattress, and down to the corresponding point on the other side. Also measure the length. This will give you the dimensions you need to look for.

If you have the option to purchase a bed in a bag set, then that would definitely be worth considering. These sets typically include the comforter, sheets, pillowcases, pillow shams and some even have the skirt to go around the box spring. These items are all packaged together in one bundle and by purchasing as a set you usually pay much less than purchasing them separately.

Patterns such as polka dots, stripes, and paisleys are also popular options for girls' bedrooms. Of course, the colors should be girly. Polka dots are especially nice because it looks very fun. Paisleys are very girly. This pattern is not at all suitable for boys. Stripes are also used in boys' bedrooms but the colors are bolder and darker like green, blue, and red. For girls, you can choose softer colors to make the stripes look a little less bold.
