Optimal size of a baby blanket

We tell you how to choose a children's blanket, how to care for it, show popular models and do-it-yourself blanket master classes.

Light blankets have always been used. They were replaced by blankets.

Why do you need a blanket for a baby:

On cool summer days, a blanket can be used when a woman in labor and her baby are discharged.
A blanket is indispensable for covering a baby in a room or car.
While walking outside, throw it on the stroller.
It will be convenient for a grown-up baby to explore the world of toys on a blanket.

Blanket for a stroller: dimensions

The main mistake when choosing a blanket is the desire of parents to buy something with a maximum margin for height. As a result, you end up with an overly bulky option that barely fits in the stroller. And simply wrapping a newborn tightly in such a blanket will not work: the baby will constantly open up.

When choosing a size, refer to the table:

Age	Suitable Size(cm)
Newborns	75x75
75x90
80x90
Children under one year old	95x100
From 1 year to 3 years	100x120
105x115
Over 3 years old	110x140

The best option would be to purchase two models with different degrees of insulation. The smaller size is purchased for the newborn period, and the next one with the expectation of the next change of season.

Example 1

If the baby was born at the beginning of winter, he will need an insulated blanket 75 by 90 or 80 by 90 centimeters and a light one by summer 95 by 100 centimeters.

Example 2

For a child born at the end of spring, it is worth purchasing a light blanket 75 by 75, 75 by 90 or 80 by 90 centimeters and a warmer 95 by 100 centimeters for cold autumn and winter days.

Do not take the blanket into the stroller with a reserve for growth.
If possible, buy two options in different sizes depending on the month the baby is born.
When choosing a blanket for a newborn, be guided by his height and weight at birth and the dimensions of the cradle.

For the little ones: bed linen for the cradle

Crib beds are designed for very young babies who feel more comfortable in a small space, and bedding for newborns should be sized accordingly. Many parents prefer to do without this piece of furniture, because its low sides become dangerous as soon as the baby begins to sit down. At the same time, in the first 4-6 months of life, the cradle is very comfortable, and its touching design wins the hearts of mothers.

If you plan to use a cradle, the selection of bed linen is carried out taking into account the non-standard dimensions of the sleeping place:

The width of the internal space is 33-39 cm, and the length ranges from 70 to 85 cm, depending on the manufacturer. It’s better to buy models that come with a mattress included, so you don’t have to worry about choosing exactly the right parameters.
A sheet for a cradle may also be offered by the manufacturer, but for such a sleeping place a size of 60x90 or 60x100 cm will be sufficient. It is very convenient to use diapers instead of a sheet if their length is more than 90 cm.
The duvet cover is selected based on the size of the blanket, but practice shows that in a small cradle the standard options are very inconvenient. For a cradle, you should buy a blanket 60x90, 90x90 or 80x80 cm, and a corresponding duvet cover. Well-known brands offer very tiny blankets 45x55 cm in the set, but they are only suitable until the moment when the baby learns to turn on his side.
A pillowcase is a completely unnecessary accessory. Even if the manufacturer offers a pillow included, it is better not to use it. A pediatrician can prescribe a pillow for such babies for medical reasons, but then it will be an orthopedic or anatomical model, and standard pillowcases will not fit on it.

Neonatal psychologists approve of the use of a cradle, since its limited space becomes for the baby a transitional stage between intrauterine life and the boundlessness of the world after birth. If you are not satisfied with the standard sizes of baby bedding for a crib, sewing it will not be difficult if you have the simplest skills that have not been forgotten since school labor lessons. For those who consider a cradle to be an impractical and expensive purchase, there is an excellent alternative - a cocoon pillow that fits in a child’s or adult’s bed.

Baby blankets for strollers: varieties and selection criteria

One of the first things that appears to a little person coming into our world is a blanket, because it is in it that children are usually taken from the maternity hospital. Due to its versatility, this accessory becomes useful in the future life of the baby. Especially often, a blanket is placed in the stroller during walks. This article will tell young parents about what types of children's blankets exist, and will also help to understand the criteria for their selection.

Winter and summer

Winter and summer models differ primarily in fabric. Cotton, silk and satin are used for summer blankets. And it is not necessary to insert padding polyester between layers of fabric, the baby will start to sweat. In this case, the edges of the fabric are sewn immediately and around the entire perimeter.

Many doubt whether an envelope is needed for discharge, but doctors unanimously answer that it is necessary. This is not only a beautiful, but also a functional thing that protects the baby from cold, sudden shocks, as well as some aggressive environmental factors.

For winter models, be sure to use a padding polyester or cotton wool layer. And for the inside, you can take brushed fabrics for additional insulation. And take into account the degree of warmth of the envelope when dressing the baby, otherwise you can “overheat” the child.

The envelope protects the child from both cold and sun.

Peculiarities

The boundary between a rug and a blanket is very arbitrary and is determined not so much by their structure as by the features of their use. The blanket is intended only to warm the child while sleeping. A blanket is a single-layer, fairly light, but warm cape, which is usually beautifully designed and has decorative elements (fringe, ruffles, prints). This cape is designed for use in a variety of situations:

the blanket can be used as a blanket when walking with your baby in a stroller;
it can be rolled up and placed under the baby as a pillow or to give him the desired position;
you can wrap your child in it when taking him out of the stroller;
they can insulate the baby’s legs;
a young mother can cover herself with a blanket from prying eyes to feed her baby;
a child can cover himself with a blanket in the summer if it is too hot for him under the blanket, and he is uncomfortable sleeping uncovered;
You can take the blanket with you to visit relatives and other places (if your child has to spend the night away from home, he will be much more comfortable sleeping under a familiar blanket).

The variety of blankets on the market can be divided according to two main parameters. The key to the properties of this accessory is its material.

Cotton and linen blankets are lightweight and comfortable, but due to their breathability, they are mainly suitable for summer and require more complex care than synthetic ones.
Products made from terry and velor are the softest and most pleasant of natural products; they absorb moisture well, but are more suitable for warm weather.
Woolen accessories keep you warm (and if camel hair is used, they also provide health benefits), but they are highly electrified. Some children are allergic to wool, and caring for such products is more difficult than for cotton.
Fur products are the warmest and most difficult to care for; they are electrified, can cause allergies and are recommended for use only outdoors.

Faux wool and fur have the benefits of natural ones, but are usually hypoallergenic.
Microfiber products are light and comfortable, suitable for children of any age, easy to care for, do not cause allergies and do not attract dust. However, they are much thinner than products made from other materials, which means they are only suitable for summer walks.
A fleece blanket is a warm, hypoallergenic and very light option. Such products can be used both in the city and outdoors. The main disadvantage is that they can become electrified.
Velsoft products combine the advantages of fleece and increased softness.
Acrylic accessories are similar in properties to wool, but do not cause allergies, do not collect dust, and are cheaper than many competitors. Their main drawback is the rapid loss of shape.
There are also products made from mixtures of synthetic and natural materials in different proportions.

When is the purchase planned?

When choosing a blanket, the time of year matters a lot. If the baby is to be born in winter, then the blanket should be larger so that the baby can be completely wrapped in it, and at the same time there should be no air flow anywhere.

If the birth of a child occurs during the warm season, then, of course, a quilted blanket will not be needed for discharge, and its size may be more modest, since there is no need to wrap the baby in it like a cocoon. It may not even be a blanket, but rather a fleece or even a soft cotton blanket knitted.

Lightweight patchwork quilt

In spring and autumn, the weather can change dramatically even within one day, or even several hours. Therefore, when choosing a blanket for discharge, you need to take this into account.

In spring or autumn, give preference to blanket models with a removable backing, and it is better if it is a transformable blanket fastened with a zipper: it will protect your newborn baby from both the cold wind and the rain falling from a cloudy autumn or spring sky.

The size of the blanket for the off-season is desirable: it should be larger than the summer version, but smaller than the winter one.

Speaking about the time of purchase, I would also like to talk about when, in fact, to buy a blanket for discharge: before or after childbirth? Of course, in the latter case, the responsibilities for choosing this important item fall to the dad or other adult family members, with the exception of the mother of the newborn, who at this time is lying with the baby in the maternity hospital. In general, there is no fundamental difference in when the blanket was purchased: on the same day when the pregnancy test showed the coveted two lines or an hour before discharge from the hospital

But these, of course, are two extremes that should be avoided, since in both cases errors are possible when choosing

In general, there is no fundamental difference in when the blanket was purchased: on the same day when the pregnancy test showed the coveted two lines or an hour before discharge from the hospital. But these, of course, are two extremes that should be avoided, since in both cases errors in selection are possible.

Discharge kit

In the first one, it is easy to make a mistake about the gender of the child and take a blanket of the wrong color. This is a small thing, of course, but it can ruin the mood during discharge, and it won’t be very pleasant for the baby’s parents to explain to everyone they know why the boy was discharged from the maternity hospital in a pink blanket, and the girl in a blue one. This problem, of course, can be solved by simply taking a blanket of a neutral color, but it is still advisable not to buy such expensive and large things until the gender of the baby is known for sure.

But, as already mentioned, another extreme is also possible: when, for fear of making a mistake with the gender of the unborn child and, accordingly, with the color of the discharge kit, relatives delay the purchase of a blanket until the birth of the baby, and then in a hurry they buy something completely different from what they should have would. And then the color seems to be right, but such important characteristics as the quality of the thing, the materials from which it is made, and its size leave much to be desired.

Envelope-blanket for discharge “Creme Brulee”

What recommendations can you give regarding choosing the size of a blanket for a newborn?

It is not necessary and even unnecessary to buy a blanket for discharge immediately as soon as pregnancy is confirmed. But even then, the expectant mother needs to start looking closely at the commercially available models and, most importantly, study information regarding their safety and quality. Take a closer look at blankets from different manufacturers, read reviews about their products, and only then decide what you will buy.
When choosing a blanket for a newborn, give preference not only to beautiful, but also to safe models. And don’t forget about practicality: a blanket should not become a “one-time thing.”
The size of the blanket should be suitable for the crib or stroller, it should not be too small or too large. Well, as mentioned above, it is unacceptable to buy a blanket for growth, with the expectation that it will still serve you and your child until school.
Currently, there are models of blankets with buttons or Velcro. They are convenient because their size is easily adjustable.
A winter blanket should always be larger in size than a summer blanket. And even more than the one designed for the off-season.
When choosing the size of the blanket, decide what you will need it for after discharge. Will you wrap your baby in it, or maybe just put crumbs in a stroller or crib? By the way, if you need a blanket for a small crib or stroller, then it is better to choose small-sized models.

How to choose?

Due to its versatility, a good blanket must meet certain parameters:

ease;
hypoallergenic and absence of harmful substances in the composition;
ensuring sufficient ventilation and heat retention;
comfort;
ease of washing and care;
design;
price.

Keep in mind that single-color blankets in calm tones are more suitable for newborns and very young children. Bright and colorful products can irritate the baby. Older children like blankets with bright prints and images of their favorite cartoon characters.

In an area with variable weather, the best solution may be to buy two blankets (summer and winter) that can be worn together and used depending on the temperature.

The presence of silk in the product does not improve its properties, but does affect the price, and mixtures of synthetics and natural materials can cause allergies. Mothers and grandmothers who know how to knit can make a blanket from cotton or wool for a child themselves, the main thing is that the resulting product meets the parameters listed above.

Baby blanket size: how to choose the right one

That sleep is of great importance for the health and well-being of a child is a well-known fact, but often parents, trying to create all the conditions for a comfortable, full sleep, do not attach due importance to such a factor as the correctly selected size of a baby blanket. From this article you can find out why it is worth thinking about such things as how size affects quality sleep and what to look for when buying, what classification system for bed blankets exists, how models differ - standard sizes and unusual shapes of blankets, what parameters are considered universal.

What blanket thickness should I choose?

When choosing the thickness of the filler, it is necessary to take into account not only its heat-saving properties

It is also recommended to pay attention to such characteristics as the ratio of thickness and size

A blanket that is too thick and small in size is unlikely to be comfortable to use. In this case, it is better to choose a product with less filler or even a woven version without filler at all. The degree of heat is determined not so much by the thickness of the filler as by its composition and quality. For example, even a thin camel wool blanket will be much warmer than a thick bamboo blanket.

To summarize, we can conclude that choosing a baby blanket is an important point that should be given special attention. However, following the recommendations of experts, it is not difficult to choose exactly the kind of bedding that will ensure comfortable sleep and proper development of the child in one of the most important periods of his life and will delight the baby and mother for a long time

Why is the size of a baby blanket important?

Knowing that sleep for a child is a source of energy and the basis for full development, and that the baby will have to spend most of the day in bed, responsible parents are tasked with organizing a sleeping place in advance - carefully choosing a crib, stroller, mattresses, other bedding, developing the right lighting, provide reliable sound insulation.

In the hustle and bustle, it is often overlooked that the cause of discomfort and frequent waking up can be an item of daily use such as a blanket, namely an incorrectly selected size. What problems does such an omission entail:

due to the discrepancy in size, length and width proportions, the blanket does not fit in the crib, bulges, and covers unevenly; impossible to refill; the child gets lost in it; the blanket is bulky, restricts movement, puts a lot of pressure on top (size restrictions are especially important for a cotton blanket); puffs up, forms thick folds that tightly cover the head, preventing normal breathing; the product is too small, does not allow you to fully wrap yourself up, move, change body positions - it blows from the sides; constantly gets confused, slides to the floor under the weight of its own weight and the child freezes; Due to non-standard sizes, difficulties arise in the future with the selection of duvet covers; as a result, the blanket begins to roll or dangle, which affects the comfort of sleep and does not satisfy aesthetic requirements.

Blankets for teenagers

For older children, it is preferable to buy single blankets 140 × 200 cm. Today you can find a wide range of such products that have various “fillings”: made from natural fibers (nettle, eucalyptus, corn and others). Such blankets not only provide a comfortable sleep, but also have a beneficial effect on the child’s health. If a teenager has any difficulty falling asleep or has nervous system disorders, then it would be appropriate to purchase a special anti-stress blanket filled with lavender flowers.

When choosing a blanket, it is important to select it according to the season and weather conditions. Buy only high-quality products, because this directly determines how comfortable your child’s sleep will be.

How to choose the right size

A blanket is an essential attribute of a comfortable sleep; it is used every day, starting from the first days of life.
Until recently, there were only 2 types of crib blanket sizes:

for kids: 60x120 and 110x140 cm; for teenagers: 143x210.

Currently, there are many different models of different sizes on the textile market, which makes it difficult to choose, but allows you to choose a blanket that can provide the most comfortable conditions for a child’s rest and sleep. Taking into account the size of the purchased bedding is especially important for parents who do not plan to sew fabric covers themselves, which are worn to protect the blanket from dirt and premature wear, incl. due to frequent washing.

In such cases, you have to proceed from standards - standard sizes according to which domestic and foreign manufacturers sew bed linen. To ensure that the purchased blanket does not disappoint later, it is recommended to build on specific parameters.

The defining criteria are:

age of the sleeper - the dimensions of a baby blanket are subject to standards developed specifically for newborns, one-year-old babies, preschoolers, and teenagers; Dimensions – height, weight, build. The age grouping is arbitrary; the individual characteristics of the child (large, thin, tall or short) should be taken into account. The selection rules are simple: the sleeping person fits completely under the blanket, is able to roll over freely, spread his arms and legs, and at the same time they do not “peek out” from under the blanket; size of the sleeping place - you should take into account what it is intended for, what functions the blanket will perform, the features of the bedding, the design of the bed, the method of dressing. This may be a non-standard product, such as a stroller envelope, or you plan to tuck a blanket under the mattress, use ties, buttons, Velcro - in these cases, precise measurements should be taken. If you purchase an ordinary classic blanket intended for a children's bed, cradle, transformable crib, or other furniture product, then according to generally accepted principles, it should create an airy atmosphere and be comparable to the dimensions of the bed - it is advisable to completely cover the sleeping area and have a small margin on three sides (except for the headboard).

Step-by-step instruction

It's no secret that the success of sewing a particular product largely depends on quality tools. By making sure that the scissors are sharp, the needles are comfortable, and the chalk or pencil is visible enough, you will ensure that your work is pleasant and fruitful.

Cutting the pattern and sewing does not take much time. The main thing is to have good tools and prepare materials in advance so as not to waste time searching for missing parts.

So let's get started.

Let's make a pattern.
From the fabric for the outer and inner sides of the blanket, as well as from padding polyester, we cut out identical squares according to the pattern. They should be 1 cm larger than the planned size of the blanket.
On the cut-out square of padding polyester we place two fabric squares, folded with their front sides facing each other.
Sew, leaving a small section free from stitching. Important: before you start stitching, baste or pin the fabric and padding polyester with pins. In this case, you will get the most even stitch possible.
Turn the blanket inside out and sew the free section.
To ensure that the product does not lose its shape and lasts as long as possible, stitch the blanket so that it looks like a quilt. It is better to lay diagonal stitches so that diamonds remain on the canvas. The line should be small.

To preserve the product in its original form, extend its service life and give additional strength, it is necessary to stitch the blanket diagonally with a fine seam, creating the contours of diamonds.

Each age has its own standards

Sleep is an irreplaceable physiological need of the human body, and for a newly born child it is one of the most important components of life. A child’s body adapts to a new external environment, continuously grows, develops and functions intensively - cells and tissues are synthesized, internal organs grow, and body weight increases.

Physiological processes occurring at different levels require a large amount of energy, so the duration of children's sleep significantly exceeds the normal duration of adult sleep. As a result, special requirements are placed on bedding for a crib. There is no single standard; the size parameters must optimally correspond to the age and needs of the child.

Size of a baby blanket for newborns: in the crib and for discharge

Normally, the following correlation is observed: the younger the child, the more hours he needs to restore the energy forces necessary for full life support, prevent exhaustion, the development of disorders, and strengthen psychological defense. At the same time, a newborn is more susceptible to external conditions - air temperature, humidity, number of layers of clothing.

You should not save money or adhere to the principle “the larger the blanket, the better - you can wrap the baby up and take him out for a walk, or cover him with it at night or when the room is ventilated.” This approach is wrong. For a newborn, it is advisable to prepare several blankets, of a certain size for each situation.

If this is difficult financially, then it is recommended to focus on choosing the model that is most suitable for the crib (cradle), where the product will be located constantly and for a fairly long period.

The size of a baby blanket for a crib - the standard to be guided by, is presented in the table:

Age, months	Standard bed size, cm	Recommended blanket size, cm	Note for what purposes it can be used
newborn	due to the large width, it is only suitable for non-standard size cribs (wide cradles, bassinets)	80x80

90x90

It is worth purchasing an additional blanket, which will be useful on the road and for various everyday needs. For a stroller, the best option would be to buy a children's blanket in size 85x115 or 110x118 - it will create comfort and help keep you warm in bad weather.

The size of a children's blanket should not be excessively large; it is better to limit it to a size of 110x140. According to the standards accepted in Russia, it is easy to find a suitable duvet cover for a model with the specified parameters, which is important for textile products used daily. Such a purchase will allow you to save significantly - the thing is very practical, because this format is suitable for discharge (if folded in the form of an envelope) and for a child of 3 years, and even for children of middle preschool age.

Sizes for preschoolers and schoolchildren

It has been established that children who have sound sleep and a healthy routine are less irritable, whiny, more active during wakefulness, and develop better mentally, mentally and physically. At this age, you no longer have to worry about the quality of every little thing; the child sleeps fewer hours, but during the day he gets more tired and may wake up often.

The task of caring parents is to create favorable conditions for good sleep. The baby is growing quickly, and the baby blanket is becoming small. When choosing your next blanket, you should adhere to the same principles and use common sense - due to sudden growth spurts, it is recommended to purchase a product a little larger, with a reserve. The following parameters are still taken into account and are of fundamental importance:

volumes and growth of a sleeping child; sleeping space dimensions; sleep style - restless, spreads limbs in different directions like an asterisk, constantly tosses and turns; individual characteristics - a tendency to throw off the blanket, cover oneself with one's head, curl up into a ball, sweat or get cold easily.

It is also wise to focus on existing (or standard) duvet covers. Based on average statistical data, we can say that a child will be warm and comfortable under the following blanket:

from 3-4 years: with a width of 100-110, a length of 80, 100, 140 cm; from 5 years to 6-7: with parameters 125x150; for primary school age the most popular size is 120x160.

If it is discovered that the child is experiencing discomfort, it is necessary to change the size. Buying a wider product usually helps.

Teen Blanket Size

Until the age of 12-13, a child usually makes do with a blanket, the size of which varies:

width: 140-160 cm; length: 140-200 cm.

This is quite adult proportions. Further, if you follow the rules of rational purchasing, it is recommended to give preference to a regular one-and-a-half blanket. Schoolchildren of this age are no longer quite children, but young men and women. During adolescence, children actively strive to imitate adults and demand a standard single bed and appropriate bedding.

Modern standard sizes of one-and-a-half blankets include the following varieties:

What should you consider when choosing a blanket for your baby?

A number of factors need to be taken into account, including seasonality of use, room temperature, dimensions, lightness and softness, absence of allergies to materials, breathability, and so on. Let's look at these and other parameters in more detail below.

Season. For the winter period, a warm blanket is suitable, and for the summer, of course, a light one. However, in many apartments it is very hot even in winter, and then it is worth giving preference to summer models as a year-round option. Otherwise, the baby will sweat and overheat.
The size of the blanket. It is important that the blanket matches the size of the bed. Take into account the fact that children grow quickly and purchase a larger blanket initially.
Texture. Children's skin is very delicate, so give preference to non-prickly models that are airy and comfortable to the touch.
Hypoallergenic. This factor is important not only for a blanket, but also for any children's item. Do not buy artificial blankets; it is better to buy not just a natural, but definitely a blanket that does not cause allergies. If problems arise during use, we recommend replacing this bedding.
Breathable material. It is important that the blanket provides good air exchange, absorbs moisture and removes it. If you choose the right product, your baby will enjoy sleeping.

Optimal sizes of baby blanket and pillow for newborns

Sound, complete sleep for a newborn is an indispensable guarantee of the health and correct formation of the baby’s posture. Therefore, it is so important to choose the right bedding for a crib.

The size of bedding should be suitable for the child's sleeping area.

When choosing, you should take into account that the baby spins and moves in his sleep, and the blanket can slide off. Therefore, to ensure that the child does not remain uncovered, it is better to choose a blanket no smaller than 80x120 cm. It can be tucked under the mattress, which will provide comfort and warmth.

The most common crib for children is 60x120 cm. For it, a blanket 110x140 cm (Russian standard) would be the best choice.

Duvet covers and pillowcases

As you have already noticed, there are quite a few types of children's duvet covers in the table above. This is due to the fact that there are more sizes of blankets than mattresses. The most popular blanket for newborns and toddlers is considered to be 110x140 cm, but before going to the store you should still measure what you have. We add 5 cm to the length and width, thus obtaining the desired result.

The rule “the larger the size, the better” does not apply to children's duvet covers. The blanket should not “dangle” inside. The optimal increase is 5 cm, the minimum is 3 cm if you are confident in the quality of the product and know that it will not shrink significantly. The product should not have buttons or ties, instead of fasteners there should be a smell.

In bedding for a child, the size for newborns and toddlers is often one pillowcase, 35x45 or 40x40 cm. In sets for younger schoolchildren - 40x60, 50x70, 70x70 (less often) cm. However, here the division by age is very arbitrary, since in the same sizes According to the parameters of the duvet cover and sheet sets, the pillowcase can be either 40x40 or 50x70.

Other options

For newborns, sleep is one of the most important conditions for healthy development. During sleep, the baby grows, develops, and gains strength. A comfortable sleeping place should be not only in the crib, but also in the stroller and cradle. It would be better to purchase several options for blankets for different occasions. And also for cold and warm seasons - this makes it easier to control the optimal temperature for a newborn.

In summer, you should give preference to lighter, airier options, which are characterized by greater air exchange, are highly environmentally friendly and have smaller dimensions, for example, 80x100 cm.

For a baby's cradle, a square-shaped blanket is good - for example, 90x90 cm, since it is smaller than a standard crib.

And when discharged from the maternity hospital, first of all they pay attention not to the characteristics, but to the appearance of the envelope. Choose a beautiful, formal design option. So that the discharge blanket could be used in everyday life, the designers combined an elegant envelope and a standard version in the form of a transformable blanket. This is a convenient and economical variety that is also practical for walking. Such transformers come in various models and sizes: from 140x110 to 150x115 cm.

The stroller is also an important sleeping place for the child, so you should take care of a blanket for it too. It is better if it is small, but first of all you should focus on the size of the stroller and the weather. Nowadays the market offers a huge range of bed linen, a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors. It is advisable to choose a duvet cover before buying a blanket.

Requirements for newborns

Young children have very sensitive skin, their immunity is just beginning to strengthen, therefore, when choosing a blanket for a newborn, you must adhere to the following rules:

High heat dissipation. The child should be warm and comfortable. It is important that a certain body temperature is maintained - the baby should neither freeze nor overheat.
The naturalness of the materials from which the bed linen is made. Synthetic products are much cheaper, there are more models among them, but it is better not to skimp on your health and choose safe, environmentally friendly materials.
Hypoallergenic. This is the most important indicator. The child's body is unpredictable: it is difficult to predict how the child will react to contact with new materials. Therefore, to avoid immune system reactions, you should carefully study the label for hypoallergenicity and the absence of harmful toxic substances.
Filler composition. Most often, it is low-quality filler that causes allergies in babies. They are divided into synthetic and natural. Each of them has its own pros and cons. For example, down ones are warmer, but most often they cause an undesirable reaction. It is better to choose bed linen filled with synthetic padding polyester or comforter. Their safety is clinically proven, they are lightweight and easy to wash. As a last resort, you can try blankets made from hypoallergenic sheep or camel wool.
