Make sure that the baby bedding and crib for your new baby are safe

There will be a great deal of humans queuing up to give you their old nursery furniture and crib bedding when you are pregnant. I know that we belong to a throwaway society these days but there is something with regards to our baby things that makes us want to hold on to them. Be thankful for these offerings because babies are an highpriced business but make sure it’s all safe before you use it.

Is it a cot, cradle or crib?

There is a special something with regards to your baby’s firstborn bed, whether it’s a Moses basket or a crib (cot or cradle in the US) or a cot (US – crib). You may spend a great deal of hours lovingly re-lining and making drapes for a cradle that you’ve been given and you may check whether it’s safe for baby at the same time.

Checking baby bedding and crib for safety

If your cradle was made of wicker make sure that there are no broken or loose bits of wood and that all the joints are tight. You will in all likelihood need to replace the mattress because that’s the one thing that may not have pulled through very well. When fitting the drapes make sure that there are no loose threads or pieces of material that the baby might grab a hold of and shove into their mouth.

Buy new bedding for crib if you can

Most organisations that are concerned with the safety of baby furniture, such as the Juvenile Products Manufacturer’s Association in the USA and British Standards in the UK say that you must buy new furniture and bedding if it’s possible. The merchandise displaying either the JPMA seal of approval or the BS ‘Kite’ mark, have been tested that they meet all the suitable safety requirements.

Personally I see not one thing defective with hand-me-downs as long as you check them decently for safety. After all it isn’t very ecologically friendly to discard perfectly good furniture and baby crib bedding. There are galore checks you may do on cribs, to make sure that your baby is safe and happy. Hopefully the baby will spend a lot of time on it’s own in the crib so it’s worth spending some time looking it over.

Baby bedding crib safety checklist

Here are a few points to do not forget when checking your baby instrumentation for safety:

Make sure there is no chipped, loose or toxic lead paint.
To stop baby’s head from getting amidst the bars of the crib make sure that the bars are closer than 2 and 3/8 inches apart.
The header and footer boards of the crib will have to be solid with no holes for baby to get into trouble with. Make sure that there are no posts to catch baby’s clothes on.
Tight joints and fixings will prevent the crib from wobbling.
Make sure that the side rail raising and letting down mechanism of the crib may be managed with one hand and is wholly secure when raised.
Ensure that the top of the side rail is at least 22 inches above the crib mattress.
The mattress ought to be firm and clean. I think that I would always buy a new mattress for a new baby. Make sure that it fits snugly in the crib.
All bedding ought to conform to the fire safety regulations.
Make sure that bumper strings are concealed and secure.
Bedding for cribs: Never use duvets, quilts, sheepskin or pillows for babies beneath 12 months old as they may overheat. Use a combining of sheets and blankets and place a thermometer in the room.
Never put the crib next to cords, lamps, window blinds/curtains, or furniture that the baby could climb. You will be amazed at how well they may climb.

Have a safe, fantasti and fun time with your baby and do not forget that they grow up quickly.
