Baby lounger for safety and protection
There is nothing more peaceful, sweet and innocent than a sleeping baby, especially a newborn. In their quiet sleep they look like little angels. Every mum agrees: sleeping babies are simply precious to watch, and I've always found it ironic how stressed, dishevelled and exhausted I looked in comparison.
Even when your newborn drifts off to dreamland, you're still in safe mum mode. My mum friends and I used to laugh at how many times we tiptoed into the nursery to check on our sleeping newborns. We had mastered turning the door handle without making a sound or avoiding the creaky boards on the floor. We may be fascinated, but at least we're invisible!
Today, baby sleep safety is a piece of cake. With smart baby sleep materials you can rest assured that your baby is resting safely. From newborn lounger to baby mattresses to sleeping mats and snuggle nests, let's take a look at the essentials for safe baby sleep.
Cots and mattresses
When it comes to the best sleeping conditions for babies, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) offers helpful guidelines to help babies sleep safely. ** Preferably a co sleeper for baby, which means a cot should contain only a firm baby mattress and a fitted cot sheet. over 7 million folding cots were recalled in 2007, so if you plan to use a cot purchased before 2007, check thoroughly for any damaged parts or components that don't work properly. The baby lounger currently on the market are designed to be able to provide a proper sleeping environment for your baby.
US Consumer Product Safety Commission's cot safety guidelines.
- To prevent suffocation, never place pillows or thick covers in an infant's sleeping environment.
- Make sure there is no gap larger than two fingers between the sides of the cot and the mattress.
- It is vital that the cot is assembled correctly. Follow the instructions provided and ensure that each component has been fitted correctly. If you are unsure, call the manufacturer for assistance.
- Do not use a cot that is more than 10 years old or that has been damaged or modified. If the baby's body passes through a gap between loose parts or broken slats and the head is still trapped, the baby may suffocate and die.
- Never place the cot near a window with blinds, curtains or baby monitor cords; the baby may be strangled by the cords.
Sleeping bags
Because the American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP) does not recommend quilts, covers or other soft or loose bedding for infant sleeping areas, many parents use sleeping bags as a safe alternative. Sleeping bags are essentially wearable blankets for babies. They have zips and open sleeve holes, with extra space at the bottom for kicking and moving around. However, unlike loose blankets, sleeping bags can be safely secured in place.
baby nests
Another safe baby sleeping necessity is a baby nest. These are designed to ensure that babies are safe when sleeping with their parents. Think of it as a safe portable sleeping area where the baby can safely snooze. The way the design mimics the current womb allows the baby to feel more secure while sleeping. There are now more portable baby nest sleeper that are easy to take with you when you are out and about, giving your baby a familiar feel even in unfamiliar surroundings.
Remember that the safest way for babies to sleep is on their backs on a firm mattress in a secure cot or on a firm cushion in a secure bassinet. We all love cuddly baby blankets and stuffed animals, but when she is older she will have plenty of time to cuddle with her favourite drowsy friend. For now, cosleeping baby bed is best!
