Congratulations on bringing your newborn to our world! Those little eyes are surely sleepy. And this is what babies usually do throughout the day. A study says that newborn babies sleep for a total of 10 to 18 hours every day.
In the first few months, babies need to have a good sleep to promote your baby’s brain and body’s good growth. But to ensure your baby’s sound sleep, the essential thing is to make sure your baby got the best crib sheet as it is not always possible to carry your baby in your arms and chest.
There are quite several options that you can choose from. So below, I have discussed some of the best materials for baby crib sheets.
Cotton
Cotton bed sheets are generally known as the standard bed sheets for every aged person. But when it comes to choosing a baby’s crib sheet, you can blindly trust on a cotton crib sheet as it is a breathable fibre; therefore, it keeps your little one cool during the summer and warm during winter. While at first, the sheet can be rough and scratchy, but cotton sheets tend to soften after few washes. Also, cotton sheets are 100% hypoallergenic, which means your little angel won’t suffer from skin irritations due to crib sheets.
Polyester
Another budget-friendly option of the crib sheets is polyesters. These are not as breathable as cotton, but it is cheaper. However, in high humidity or warm countries, polyester crib sheets may not be a better choice.
Flannel
If you are looking for something cosy and soft, then flannel crib sheets are the ones you can opt for. These are the ideal choices for the winter season, as these sheets tend to retain warmness. Although just like polyester, it is not wise to wash them at high temperatures. A high-quality flannel can get softer after every wash and is more durable.
Water-Proof Crib Sheet
Babies and wetness are ideal combinations, so nowadays, parents look for water-proof crib sheets and protective pillowcases. Companies have now come up with water-proof crib sheets that offer softness, breathability, and hypoallergenic qualities, just like 100% cotton sheets. These baby water-proof crib sheets will save you from the extra hassle of your little one’s diaper leak and wetness. Also, these water-proof crib sheets can be reused for your toddlers as a potty training sheet.
