Choosing Your Crib Sheets

2010-04-05T00:38:00.000-07:00

Crib sheets are manufactured by a large number of designers. Most of these designers offer exceptional product and great value. Available in an array of modern colors and styles, all which add elegance and grace to your baby's nursery. If you are wanting something more than yesterday's traditional pastels and whites, then modern designs, bold colors, and geometric patterns will bring your nursery to life.

70% of your baby's first weeks of life will be spent sleeping. Choosing crib sheets that are warm, soft, and comfortable are important to your baby's needs. And, don't forget your needs too, shop for good quality, reasonably priced, and most of all low maintenance sheets. When you find that "perfect" sheet, be sure to pick up several. Either sold separately or as part of a set, having several crib sheets are a necessary item.

With many different materials to choose from, cotton crib sheets are the number one choice. A low maintenance, durable, and easy to care for fabric. Organic sheets are very popular now a days. Being manufactured without any chemicals or dyes, thus being a healthier, safer choice for your baby's environment. If the organic sheet selection doesn't meet your design needs, then using a hypoallergenic sheet which decreases allergic reactions to chemicals found in standard sheets would be the next best choice.

Do you really want to stand out from the crowd? Do you have sewing experience? Do you desire a one-of-a-kind design? Show your unique personality by either customizing manufactured crib sheets, or by making your own. If you decide to take on the task of making your own, for safety purposes, be sure that the fitted sheet is snug around the mattress. Choose your fabric, and have fun.

Using your computer skills, online retailers dealing in baby sheets can offer many more choices than the limited selections offered at the local department store. Using an online retailer with a gift registry program is a great option for out of town family and friends. Today, manufacturers are continuously releasing new bedding cribs designs based on a variety of decorating themes. You will not be short on choices.

Choose Your Baby Boy Nursery Bedding Wisely

2010-03-24T18:57:00.000-07:00

For mom's to be, finding the perfect baby boy nursery bedding is exciting and can be overwhelming at the same time. Will your choice be theme based, or color based? What fabrics will you use?

Identifying your design and colors is your number one decision. Choose wisely, your imagination will influence your baby boy's development. Are you adventurous? Maybe a outer space, or a nautical theme. Are you into sports? This theme will easily carry through childhood. How about your love of reading, consider an ABC's theme. This may inspire your son's love of the same. Perhaps your creativity and inspiration is the way to go. A hand made patchwork quilt by mom, with each fabric square telling it's own story, certainly an heirloom to be treasured for generations. With these few suggestions, you can easily see how your baby boy nursery bedding is only limited by your imagination.

There are many unique and exciting themes available! Create more than a comfortable space for sleeping. These themes stimulate the baby's senses.

If a theme isn't to your liking, a color may be the way to go. You don't have to stick to the traditional shades of blue. Choose what you like, of course you want it to be appropriate for your baby boy. Crib bedding color selections are numerous, be sure you like it, you will be spending a lot of time with your choice. Often the simple approach makes the most sense.

Take into consideration how long you want to use this bedding. To get the most "bang for your buck", use themes and colors that are lasting and will grow with your baby boy's development. For instance, the sports theme mentioned above. Try to avoid themes such as, nursery rhymes, these have a "short shelf life". Just my opinion.

Today's designers of boy crib bedding offer many choices of colors, themes, and textures. These can be purchased either as individual pieces or attractive, affordable crib bedding sets. The sets, in most cases will be the better buy. These crib bedding sets make it easier to match linens while taking the guesswork out of shopping. Sets include a sheet, a skirt, and a bumper at a minimum, some sets have many more accessories. By choosing a set, you will have your boy's crib bedding set in one neat package.

What fabric should you use? Of the choices, 100% cotton is still the top pick. It's comfortable, easy to clean, dryer friendly, and is safe for your baby boy's sensitive skin. You can choose different textures, cotton jersey or cotton flannel, depending on your circumstances.

Wow, lots of choices and decisions. Shopping on line for your baby boy nursery bedding will make your experience much easier. Make it a party, get together with your friends and family. Weigh all the ideas, but take your time to make the right choice. Your child will be a reflection of his experiences.

Choosing Your Nursery Bedding Set

2010-03-15T20:04:00.000-07:00

As your baby nears its arrival, your time is closing in on choosing your nursery bedding set. As you begin the search, you realize your choices become endless. If you know what sex your baby is, well, that narrows your choices by 50%.

Another option is a unisex bedding set. Using neutral colors, and non-specific themes, such as animal designs, for instance. Also purchasing some individual solid colored sheets to go with your themed sets will help them last longer.

There are benefits to these types of choices. Perhaps your future plans include having another baby? If this is the case, then recycling your baby bedding sets is a cost effective consideration.

Today, the available bedding sets you will be using are different than they used to be. This choice is an important one, as this is the fabric that your baby will rest on. The most popular fabric is cotton, its durable, easy to clean, yet very soft against your baby's skin. A flannel bedding set is another good choice, especially if you live in a colder region of the country. Flannel is very good because it keeps your baby nice and warm.

The nursery bedding set will set the stage for your overall nursery decor. When choosing colors, keep in mind, cool colors like blues and greens have a calming effect, bright primary colors are warm and stimulating. By using books, magazines, and the internet you will have no problems coming up with ideas.

Coordinate your nursery bedding set with rugs, window coverings, storage baskets, etc. Keeping in mind your goal is to create a calm and relaxing environment. Don't overdue the bright colors, remember who you are doing this for, (hint:it's not you). Save the bright colors for accents.

By giving thought to your selection of colors and themes, your nursery bedding set and accessories can last a long time. These wise choices you make now will grow with your child. You will get the most out of your overall theme before you have to change to suit your child's development.

Why Crib Safety

2009-11-02T11:08:00.000-08:00

Next think about your bassinet and crib. You already have one you would like to use. Why Crib Safety?, is a quick read with pertinent information for you.

Why Crib Safety?

New parents must consider crib safety. You have so much going on, why spend your precious time thinking about crib safety? Last year over 80 children died from nursery products and over 66,400 were injured and required hospital treatment.

Crib safety must become the number one concern of all mothers and fathers. Unfortunately crib safety is not number one on parents minds because year after year more infants die in accidents involving cribs.

Infants and babies spend the majority of their lives sleeping. Using our most conservative educated guess, baby spends 4,350 hours during the first year of life in their crib. This averages out to be 11.9 hours per day. 4,350 hours to wiggle and wriggle, pick and pull, roll and kick. 4,350 hours to become injured or worse by the object that is suppose to be keeping them safe and sound.

On February 28, 2008, Consumer Report reported that the Consumer Products Safety Commission released it's annual report. This annual report, "Nursery Product-Related Injuries and Death Among Children Under Five," was not encouraging. The latest data to be available was 2006. In 2006, children under five suffered approximately 66,400 injuries due to nursery products and these children required hospital treatment. From 2002 to 2004, the latest data available, there were approximately 80 deaths per year associated with nursery products and children under five.

The previous reporting period 2005, showed 59,800 injuries due to nursery products and these children required hospital treatment. From 2001 to 2003, there were approximately 61 deaths per year associated with nursery products and children under five. 6,600 more injuries per year and 19 more deaths per year. We are definitely going in the wrong direction.

In May, 2007, an eight month old baby girl died in Bryan, Texas. The safety pegs for her crib were uninstalled. And in July, 2008, an eight month old baby boy died in Tallahassee, Florida. The safety pegs in his crib failed. Both babies suffocated.

We strongly recommend you to buy a new crib and pay the store to build it professionally. Babies not only become injured by old cribs, they become injured and killed by improperly installed crib hardware as well.

Washing Baby's Clothes and Bedding
Safety Alert I: Fabric softeners can reduce the flame resistance on children's sleepwear. If a garment reads flame resistant or flame retardant, DO NOT USE FABRIC SOFTENER.

Safety Alert II: If a member of the family works in an environment where chemicals, minerals, smokes, etc., may come into contact with their clothing, make certain that this clothing is washed separately.

There are two trains of thought when it comes to washing babies clothes. Thought #1:

Wash baby's clothing, fabrics, with the family's regular detergent. If baby shows no reaction, just keep doing what you've been doing.

If baby has a reaction, then try a dye, scent, perfume free, product. Wash all family's clothing together.

And if baby still reacts, bite the bullet and try baby only products. Wash baby fabrics separately from the families.

Thought #2 - Mom needs to wash every fabric that comes into contact with their baby, with baby detergent.

Before baby comes homes, make certain that all fabrics that will come into contact will baby's skin are washed in baby detergent. This includes every article of clothing and cloth diapers, towels, wash clothes, bibs, every piece of baby nursery bedding including quilts and comforters, every receiving blanket, car seat liner, stroller liner, playpen pad and even Mom's shirts.

Baby's laundry should be done separately from the rest of the family for quite some time. Some of us work in places where our clothing is exposed to unsavory materials that could harm our little ones. We may not even know that we are being exposed to these materials. Plus their precious skin, and noses, are not ready for perfumes, cigarette smoke, adult laundry soap and harsh clothing treatment products.

Next, baby may be allergic to laundry soap. Be vigilante in watching for signs of a rash. Check the neck, wrists, armpits, crotch, ankles and tummy. If you find a rash, you should call your doctor or doctor's nurse and ask them for another laundry soap suggestion. When you find a soap that works, take a big calming breathe and wash all of baby's clothes, blankets, sheets, everything, over again.

The following is a list of 13 manufactures of baby laundry soaps, there are many others:

Dreft - www.dreft.com

Dreft has been helping mothers clean baby clothes for over 75 years...and is the most recommended baby detergent by pediatricians."

The following is an example of the Laundry Tips page.

* tips
* removing stains

While no one detergent can remove all types of stains, we recommend the following for diaper soils:

* Rinse cloth diapers with cold water immediately after use.
* Pre-soak in a solution of Dreft® and a color-safe bleach for 30 minutes.
* After soaking, wring out excess water by hand or run diapers through the spin cycle.
* Fill washer with warmest water allowed according to garment label, add 1 1/2 uses of Dreft® and launder as usual.

Dressing Baby, The First Six Weeks

2009-10-29T15:53:00.000-07:00

A friend said, the first six weeks of baby's life is simply "delicious." And it is.

You will want your baby to be dressed in soft and simple clothing that will keep baby's body temperature comfortable and warm . Soft to the touch and simple meaning easy on, easy off, easy to change diapers in and finally, perfect for the season. You don’t want to be doing laundry every day, every other day or every second day and the following list keeps that desire in mind. You will want to be resting, getting to know your baby and your new life with your baby.

If your are uncertain about our list, ask close friends and relatives for their advise. They will have plenty of thoughts and ideas on this subject. When you come to your final list, try to stick to it and to your budget. We've tried to be thorough however, your climate may not require any cold weather items. Also babies grow quickly and most of the items on this list will be used during the first six weeks only. Remember you will continue to need to purchase clothing for them for, at least, the next 18 years.

1. Homecoming Outfit
2. 6 to 8 One Piece Underclothing, Onesies
3. 4 to 11 One Piece Sleepers with Feet, Nightgowns or Sleep Sacks
4. 4 to 6 One Piece Rompers with Crotch Snap Up and without Feet
5. 4 to 6 Pullover T-Shirts or Tops
6. 4 to 6 Pairs of Pull On Pants
7. 2 to 4 Pair of Booties
8. 4 to 6 Pair of Socks
9. 4 to 6 Small Sized Bibs
10. 2 to 4 Blanket Sleepers (if required)
11. 1 Snowsuit, Stocking Hat, Mittens (if required)
12. 2 Sweaters
13. 2 to 4 Hats
14. 4 to 10 Receiving Blankets
15. 1 to 2 Pair of Mittens (if required to keep baby from scratching face)

The "Onesie"

Onesie style underwear can be worn over a diaper in the warmer months. They don't have to be pulled over baby's head. They snap down the front and the bottom part snaps across the belly, or the they snap at the crotch. They are made of lightweight 100% cotton. Onesie and other 100% cotton undershirts are meant to wick body moisture away from baby to evaporate which keeps baby dry and warm.

Onsies are essential pieces of under clothing. They will get a lot of wear in the summer when they can be worn over a diaper. During summer they can be worn as a sleeper as well. In the winter, they will be used often as that important first layer, of wicking, for warmth.

Sleepers

One piece, footed sleepers are mandatory pieces of baby clothing. They are soft, warm, and comfortable. Their comfort and ease of use makes them another favorite. Long sleeved sleepers, use loose fitting elastic around the waist and the ankles to keep the close fit. However, there is ample room for baby's feet to move about and grow. Most sleepers have a soft, round neckline that does not promote chaffing.

Sleepers protect your baby’s skin from irritating straps, seats, chairs, swings and chairs. They are easy on and off clothing and they are easy to change a diaper in.

They are typically made of a light weight, 100% cotton or polyester with covered snaps running down the front and one leg, or a soft nylon zipper runs down the same pattern. This light weight fabric breathes easily which allows baby's body moisture to evaporate which keeps baby dry and warm.

IMPORTANT: Always check the manufacturers written materials to find out if your baby's sleepers are flame retardant or flame resistant. Flame retardant or resistant fabrics resist catching fire and burn slowly when in contact with a flame. Some fabrics may even self-extinguish or be easily extinguished by smothering the flame. Sleepers should also be form fitting. Form fitting sleepers do not ignite easily and do not burn well because there is little oxygen to feed the fire.

FABRIC SOFTENER MAY RUIN THE FLAME RETARDENT OR FLAME RESISTANT ELEMENTS OF FABRIC.

Rompers

Rompers are one piece outfits that stretch over baby’s head and snap closed at the crotch. Any one piece outfit whether short-sleeved or long-sleeved is typically a romper.

They are loose fitting and provide ample rooms for "romping" about. They are usually made of 100% cotton, although blends of cotton and polyester can be found. Soft and comfortable even the seams are flattened to prevent baby's skin from chaffing. Again, rompers are easy to change baby's diaper in.

Booties

Keeping your newborn baby's body temperature stable and warm is one of your very important goals; your baby's feet can become easily chilled. Hats keep body heat from leaving through the top and booties keep body heat from leaving through the bottom. They are reasonably priced, easy to put on and take off and they protect and warm your baby’s entire foot and ankle.

Baby booties are sack type socks, with elastic or ties around the ankles to keep the booties on baby’s feet. The elastic or ties should be just snug enough to hold the booties on while kicking. They used to be made of soft cotton, fleece, wool or hand crotcheted. Today you can find them in almost any fabric.

Many commercial booties are lined with a soft cotton or plush to keep baby’s feet cozy and warm. Lined booties are perfect for moderate to cold temperatures.

Booties are a necessity for newborns and infants to keep their tiny feet warm and dry. They are also a necessity for babies during those early walking stages.

Medical experts recommend flexible, soft soled booties for babies learning to walk. Soft booties are the next best thing to bare feet. They allow baby to curl their toes, flex their feet, and grip the floor as they walk. These movements are essential foot movements for learning to walk.

IMPORTANT NOTE: They also promote proper arch formation. Always make sure baby booties for older babies have a skid resistant bottom. This prevents baby from slipping and falling on slick floors when first learning to walk. AND, don't purchase socks that cut off baby's circulation.

Always use your shopping list while preparing for the first six weeks. You will want to have everything that you will need and it will help you to stay within your budget. Consider shrinkage, baby's size and always keep your receipts.

Always purchase machine washable and machine dryable pieces of baby clothing. And ask around about which manufacturers make clothing that is easily washed and wears well over time. This clothing will last longer and will be more affordable in the long run.
