Baby Crib Sheets and Hidden Dangers you should know
The arrival of a baby almost always sends signals of joy in the family. It is also shopping time for the parents. From wipes to bottles to clothes and bedding, the baby needs a lot that parents have to buy. The manner in which the Internet has expanded and the speed with which ecommerce is catching up, shopping has indeed undergone a great change in recent times. You can buy whatever you need for your baby from the convenience of your home. The Internet also provides access to a vast reservoir of information with regards to what you are likely to need for the safety of your newborn.
Baby safety has become a major concern for parents and pediatricians after numerous reported cases of infant deaths due to improper bedding. Pediatricians all over the world are now advising parents to avoid blankets, comforters, soft pillows and bumpers that lie loose in the crib. Blanket should be replaced by sleepsacks. Ordinary sheets should be replaced by stayput fitted crib sheets. Dangers that improper bedding can lead to is summed up below.
Anything lying loose in the crib can also potentially cause harm to the baby since he can get strangled. Blankets, soft pillows and other items of the layette that are kept loose in the crib are a potential risk for the baby. What is not commonly known is that even crib sheets can get dislodged from under the mattress exposing the baby to the risk of strangulation. To prevent such a risk, it is advisable to get crib sheets that cannot be pulled over the baby.
Babies that are put to sleep on their stomachs on soft bedding or close to pillows and comforters can burrow their faces in them, which may cause suffocation. Re-breathing exhaled carbon dioxide is another risk factor of improper bedding. If the baby is breathing too much carbon dioxide instead of fresh air, he is likely to cough or cry more often. He may also continue turning his head over and over to get out of the precarious situation. Babies require large amounts of sound sleep so that they can grow in a healthy manner. Re-breathing bad air disturbs sleep, which in turn can inhibit growth.
Perhaps a bigger danger to babies is from environmental germs, bacteria and viruses. Babies are born with a weak immune system. Mothers pass on some immunity through breast feeding. However, the immune system needs to develop to a certain extent before it can fight infections effectively. Parents are well advised to take care while washing the baby’s laundry, bottles and anything else that comes in contact with them.
