Crib bedding
Babies spend many hours sleeping in their cribs, so it’s important to make sure they always feel cocooned and protected. All our crib bedding and sheets are made of natural fabrics that are not only soft, light and gentle to the skin, but also completely chemical-free.
What bedding do babies need?
Picking the appropriate bedding for your baby could benefit their comfort and safety in many ways. If you're not using a baby sleeping bag, consider investing in cotton sheets and blankets. These are easy to tuck firmly below your baby's shoulder level, allowing you to adjust your baby's bedding to keep them at the right temperature. Since babies can’t regulate their body temperature, having the flexibility to add or remove layers is essential. Also, remember that children under 12 months should not use duvets.
Tips for maintaining crib bedding
Proper care of your baby's bed linen ensures it stays fresh and lasts longer. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:
- Read the care instructions carefully before the first wash.
- Wash regularly: Frequent washing maintains hygiene and removes allergens.
- Use a gentle detergent to avoid irritating your baby's sensitive skin.
- Avoid fabric softeners: These can leave residues that may cause irritation.
- Dry thoroughly: Ensure the bedding is completely dry before using to prevent mould and mildew.
