Organic mattresses are made of 100-percent organic cotton, with the internal metal springs to create support and organic wool for a fire retardant surface.

Most cotton mattresses need an organic mattress pad in case of leaks. Organic rubber baby mattresses, on the other hand, are composed of a core made from natural rubber, which is naturally absorbent and won’t allow bedbugs and other pests to inhabit the interior. This type of mattress also uses organic wool for its fire retardant properties and has an organic cotton lining on the outside.

The United States hospitals use the swaddling technique for newborns as well. It would be wise to get using and organic swaddling blanket for your newborn for its first few months.

The biggest benefit of swaddling is that it lowers the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Babies that are swaddled are less likely to turn over and get in a position that can harm them. The possiblity of suffocation is very much lessed as baby cannot roll over and plant it’s fact in the mattress.  Nor will it be able to get the sheets wrapped around the face. It discourages the baby from jerking around and waking up from sudden movements. Babies should be swaddled up to four months and it’s usually around the three-month range when the SIDS risk is at its highest.

Baby’s bedding should be carefully chosen with more in mind than a crib’s fashion statement. Baby’s clothing and bedding have to be laundered and if you or family members have allergies triggered by certain materials or laundry products, you have found alternatives.

Your baby does not come with a list of possible allergies so priority should be given to knowing the materials baby’s bedding is made of.  Organic cotton and certified organic wool are a safe bet.  Quality organic baby comforters will list fill materials and fill power (the higher the fill: the more puff and longer it will last) as well as thread count of cover fabric. A baby comforter should be lightweight, provide warmth and be breathable.

There are a variety of things that you can try to make it easier on everyone involved when the time has come to offer your child a bed instead of a crib. Once you’ve determined that it is time to abandon the crib, set a time-frame for the transitorganic baby pillowion period. The reason for doing this is that it is often easier for the child if they see a bed set up in their room for a couple days while they continue to go to sleep in their own crib. This allows them to mentally adjust to it.

We all know that it is not a good idea for a tiny baby to have a pillow but now you might offer an organic baby pillow in the new bed.  These are smaller than the adult ones and just right for carrying around.

Children usually transition from their crib to a bed between the ages of 18 months and 36 months according to experts. If they are not climbing out of the crib yet, there is no need to rush it.

A good mattress pad will be highly absorbent and fit snugly against the mattress. By making sure that the mattress pad is both very absorbent and fits the mattress properly, you are ensuring that it’s ability to keep both the mattress and the baby as dry and clean as possible.

Another thing to keep in mind when selecting a mattress pad is be certain that you choose one both washable and easily to remove. It is likely to need washing every single day, sometimes more than once a day. Choosing an organic baby mattress pad will ensure that the fabric will be durable enough to withstand frequent washings. You may want to consider investing in more than one mattress pad to allow for those days when wetting problems are at their worst.

If you are setting up a nursery for a new baby, crib bedding is one of the essential parts. This bedding is not just about the color and theme that will blend in the nursery, it’s also a cru

cial part of your baby’s everyday life. The baby must feel comfortable in the crib as he or she sleeps and it should be a safe place for the child to sleep in, too.

The material that is commonly used for crib bedding is cotton. If you choose organic cotton, it is really soft and is almost impossible to bring discomfort or give allergies to your baby. You’ll need a mattress cover, crib sheet, crib bumper pads, blankets and crib skirt to complete the crib bedding. Pillows aren’t needed at this point.



What Makes a Baby Mattress Organic?

Baby mattresses are made of cotton batting with a fabric covering. The majority of the cotton now used in commercial mattresses is made from synthetic or manufactured cotton. If it is made from real cotton, it is usually bleached and dried with powerful chemicals. Then there are cotton farms that rely on using pesticides, which in turn harm the atmosphere.

An organic baby mattress is made of natural cotton, which has been grown on farms that use only natural pesticides and fertilizers, or none at all. Only natural vegetable dyes are used.  These organic method farms receive a certification from the United States Department of Agriculture to prove their commitment to being organic. The cotton material itself will not be bleached or treated with any artificial dyes or powerful chemicals.

organic baby pillowAn organic baby pillow is one that is just the right size for a child of two years or more. Before this age, use of a pillow of any type is considered dangerous and is not recommended.

Baby pillows are about half the size of a standard adult pillow.  They have their own special pillow cases that are made to fit.

No child of two up to five or six years of age simply cannot sleep comfortably on a large standard adult pillow. Their necks and shoulders will not be comfortable because the pillow will be too large and thick. The baby special pillows allow your child’s head, neck and shoulders to be supported just like yours but in a size proportional to their smaller body.
