Mattress The first rule for any newborn is you will need a new mattress for it sleep on. This way you can ensure that no bacteria is handed on from previous babies. New born babies have a tendency to be very sensitive to temperature which is why its critical to have as breathable a sleeping environment as possible. We always recommend our Coco Mat mattressfor newborns as it provides the best ventilation.
All cribs, cradles and Moses baskets come in every shape and size, there is in fact no standard size. This is not a problem as we hand make each mattress to order. Just bear in mind that because of this there is a lead time of up to 3 weeks.
Bedding
This is probably the question we get asked most by our first time mums! For newborns we recommend one of our 100% organic flannelette crib sheets to go over the mattress as an under sheet. Then on top of this we suggest an organic cotton sheet this will give the mattress adequate protection.
On top of the baby we recommend another organic cotton sheet with one of our unbleached cotton cellular blankets. By using breathable natural fibres like cotton, babies are able to regulate their temperature more easily whilst they sleep, without getting too hot or too cold. By doing this you can easily remove layers depending on the temperature of the room.
Waterproof Mattress Protectors is another thing we are often asked about! Waterproof Protectors are generally not used until potty training time. If you do want the extra security we have a crib size (90cm x 50cm) Waterproof Organic Mattress Protector that will work for most sizes.
Furniture
Most people decide to use a moses basket, crib, cradle or bassinet for the first 0-3 months because it creates a more cozy sleeping environment, makes the baby feel more secure and you can have the baby next to you when you sleep. We have picked a range ofcrib and moses baskets that are beautifully made and are bigger and sturdier than most others. This means that they are safe and stable, especially if you have other young children around.
Sleeping Bag
The advantages of a sleeping bag is that you don’t have to worry about your baby kicking off blankets at night and getting cold. The disadvantage is that some babies find them too constricting. It’s really a cases of trial and error!
We recommend sleeping bags for babies 2-3 months and upwards.
Blankets You will need quite a few blankets. We suggest at least one cellular org blanket, a receiving blanket and swaddling blanket. And a fair few cotton or wool blankets. At least 2 or three... one for the pram, one for the bed and one in the wash! Fleeces Lambskin fleeces are reassuring companions and make luxurious inner linings for cribs, cots and prams. Or they can simply be used as a play mat on the floor. With its natural insulations properties, a fleece will keep your baby warm in winter but cool in summer.
