Most parents agree –having a baby will completely change your world! –And buying proper baby bedding is only part of the equation. The formative years of a child’s life are the most important, so making sure your newborn has a good night’s sleep is essential.

When shopping for a blankets and sheets, try to avoid polyester and other synthetic materials, and focus on natural fibres like wool and cotton. That way you baby will not sweat so much on hot nights, keeping you awake. Many ensembles you see in magazines feature ribbons, cushions and the like. These present a serious safety hazard to your child, and choking or strangulation may result if your child is left unattended. Quilts themselves can be hazardous. Stuffed toys likewise should not be left in your child’s cot overnight. Try to focus on function over form. This does not mean that you cannot decorate the nursery. There are many colours and styles available when it comes to sheet sets. And a well-chosen cot skirt is one way of making things nice.
