" The right comforters and pillows for your baby's bed "
Babies love to explore the world and need plenty of sleep to recharge their batteries. To ensure that the little ones are always comfortable in their bed, high-quality bedding is essential. However, there are a few important points when it comes to baby blankets and pillows. In addition, both are only recommended from a certain age. You can find out why here.
In the first few months of life, the world is a pure adventure playground for your little one, with so much to experience. Your little one discovers something new every day. Of course, this takes energy, so after an exciting day, it's time for some rest. To ensure that your child is always comfortable, choosing the right bedding is essential. This definitely includes a baby blanket and a baby pillow, which not only ensure coziness in bed.
What makes a baby blanket and pillow stand out?
When choosing the right sleeping accessories, you should take various factors into consideration to ensure that your little one is absolutely snug and comfortable.
The right material
A good blanket is essential for the crib and should only be made of high-quality materials - such as microfiber. This very fine fabric is pleasantly soft and feels very comfortable on the skin thanks to its delicate surface.
However, the comfort of the fabric is not the only positive feature; its shape retention is also very important. After countless washes, the baby blanket is still as beautiful as it was on the first day. It neither shrinks nor fluffs. This makes it ideal for use in the crib.
Microfiber bedding also dries very quickly after washing and can be used again quickly after being in the washing machine. The ideal complement is a beautiful pillow in a colorful design, which is made entirely of house-friendly cotton.
The right size
A baby pillow is significantly smaller than those designed for adults. It usually measures 25 x 48 cm and is therefore ideal for little heads. Of course, the baby blanket for babies is not nearly as big as the ones for adults. The blankets for babies and toddlers usually measure 70x100cm and are therefore big enough for the little ones.
Child-friendly design
Babies and toddlers love bright colors and creative designs. Suitable bedding is therefore characterized by colourful motifs and varied patterns.
Animal motifs are the classics par excellence and are a hit with both boys and girls.
Thanks to their imaginative design, the baby cushions make pretty decorative elements in any nursery.
Blanket and headrest - from what age?
You should definitely ask yourself this question. In the first 12 months of life, it is recommended that your little one is bedded in a baby sleeping bag. The safe and reliable sleeping position for an infant is the supine position. It promotes healthy sleep and has a preventative effect against possible respiratory arrest.
Baby in a sleeping bag
A baby at this age is not yet able to sleep completely alone with bedding such as a pillow and blanket, as we adults tend to do.
Why is this the case?
First of all, the baby could accidentally turn onto its tummy and then no longer have the necessary strength to lift its head and turn to the side. There is also a risk of the baby pulling the cover over its face. After the first year, you can switch to a baby pillow and a baby blanket completely. By then, your little sunshine will be old enough and, above all, strong enough to sleep with its own blanket and pillow.
Where can baby blankets and pillows still be used in the first year?
Nevertheless, you don't have to do without a blanket or a comfortable pillow completely in these first twelve months.
The bedding is also suitable for a little nap on the parents' tummy when you simply want to cuddle up with your little one in the first year of life.
Cuddly blanket and baby pillow as a daily companion
A baby blanket can of course be used in many different ways. Not just at night, but whenever your little sunshine needs a little time out and longs for closeness and comfort, you can use these bedding items to keep them warm.
Whether it's time for a nap after a delicious meal or your little one wants to recharge their batteries after a fun game - the cuddly blanket is always ready. Blankets and pillows should not only be seen as bedding, as they also provide excellent service when out and about.
When your little one is big enough, they will want to explore more of the world. Then you can go for leisurely walks with the baby carriage and soon take longer trips in the car. You won't want to miss out on the benefits of the cuddly fabrics on extended family outings. Over time, your little angel will want to take their favorite blanket with them everywhere.
Crawling blankets for indoors and outdoors
You will be surprised how quickly time passes and, above all, how quickly your little one develops into an active crawler. Once the baby is full, freshly changed and rested, it wants to experience and discover something. You can provide your baby with a small selection of lovely baby toys on a crawling blanket. It doesn't matter whether it's a push toy or a grasping toy.
The important thing for the little diaper wearer is that he feels comfortable. The 100x100cm size is a very good choice. There really is enough space to play and crawl on this surface.
A crawling blanket is suitable for both the living room and nursery, but also provides an excellent play area in the garden on sunny days.
The first baby blanket with personalization
Bedding that has been designed with great attention to detail makes a great gift idea. A variety of colors, shapes and patterns are suitable for children and will delight both young and old. Gifts with a personal touch are particularly popular. Baby blankets and cuddly blankets and cushions decorated with names make very individual gifts. This way, you will always know that the bedding belongs to your little one and you will have fond memories of their first years for later.
