Bed Room Furniture

Parents have long been tempted to buy cribs loaded with comfortable quilts and softest pillows for their toddlers. They are usually unaware of the dangers of soft bedding, which has seized the lives of several toddlers or younger babies. Following is a guide to the safety and comfort of your toddler in his/her crib or baby bed.

Buying the Right Crib

Instead of going for antique cribs or using homemade cribs, it is better to buy a new crib that meets the standards of JPMA.

Mattress

Buy a high quality mattress that possesses appropriate firmness for optimal support of the baby's body. 

Mattress Pads

Use a mattress pad if your toddler's mattress is not waterproof. It helps maintain cleanliness in less time. Also, you do not need to use a disinfectant while having a couple of clean pads for changing the one that gets damp or dirty. 

Sheets

Toddler bedding requires that you use at least two sheets. One is to be used on the crib and the other as an alternative when that in use becomes wet or dirty.

Blankets

Use two light blankets. Swaddle your baby in one blanket while putting to sleep. Put the baby's feet at the foot of the crib. Tuck the blanket only as far as the baby's chest. Do not cover the toddler's head during sleep. It is even better if you can clothe the baby warmly so as not to use the blanket at all. Avoid using heavy blankets unless you are sure to stay nearby and alert all the while.

Sleeping Position

You should put the toddler on his or her back on a firm and tight-fitting mattress.

Soft Bedding

Do not use excessively soft quilts, comforters, pillows, stuffed toys or other such items in the toddler's crib.
