When expecting a baby, we spend a lot of time in matching colors of the bedding with the crib and the nursery and stick to the established perceptions of which colors suit girls and boys. All this effort is done even though we know that the color of the bedding or the style of the curtains will not make any difference to the baby at all.

A baby does spend a large part of his time in the crib. But paying attention to colors and fashion statements is primarily a need that a parent has that has nothing to do with the needs of the baby. On the other hand, the material that is used to make the bedding of your baby has a direct affect on his health and growth.

Some babies may have an allergic reaction to some of the synthetic materials that are used in some beddings, sheets or blankets. There is no way of knowing what a newborn baby may be allergic to and what kind of an allergen can set off a possible allergic reaction. Any potential allergen can lead to rashes, swelling or even difficulty breathing.

The best way to ensure that the bedding items that you buy for your baby are totally safe and will not trigger an allergic reaction is to seek information from a website for crib comforters and quilts. There is a vast sea of information on the internet that will tell you about crib beddings.

Cotton and wool that are produced organically are best for a baby’s health because they do not have any synthetic content. Some manufacturers are particular about the way the cotton and wool is produced and processed that they use for crib sheets and comforters, blankets and pillows. Chemicals used during the processing of yarn and fabric can also harm a baby’s delicate constitution.

Manufacturers make all kinds of organic bedding items that you may need for your baby’s crib:

1. Crib mattress – fits the crib without leaving dangerous gaps
2. Sheets – made of pure cotton
3. Blankets - cotton and wool are best
4. Comforters - soft, gentle and with a breathable fill (Consider a down crib comforter made of pure cotton sheets.)

Organically-produced down crib comforters undergo tests for cleanliness of the fill and are required to meet stringent standards set by the government to be classified as organic. The tests analyze how much organic material, suspended solids and dirt is left in the fill. Such tests are important to make the down pH neutral and to remove all allergic content.
