Babies spend most of their time in sleeping. How can you create a healthy sleeping environment? It starts with healthy bedding to wrap your little ones up, i.e. natural mattress, comforter, blanket and pillow made out of a breathable and moisture wicking material such as silk. Make sure babies sleep on their back, and there is fresh airflow in the bedroom and all linens are clean and dust free.
Try using calming rituals that follow the same pattern each night. Create the mood by giving your baby a warm bath, reading stories, cuddling, rocking or playing lullabies. Sleeping sack will help baby develop sleeping routine. Especially when you travel outside, bring the same sleeping sack for your baby. Your little ones will feel the same and cuddle it into sleep.
If you use polyester filled bedding, make sure to expose filling to the sun once a month to kill bacterial, and assist in evaporating excess moisture into the atmosphere. If your children have an allergic reaction to the polyester filling, try mulberry silk filled bedding. Because it’s natural, breathable, 100% hypo-allergenic , naturally dust and mildew resistant.
There are more and more organic and natural alternative available. Do the research and compare the benefits of poly vs silk filled bedding and then make informed decision which one is best for your little ones.
