baby toysUsually teething in your baby starts from month 6 and is the result of some inflammation, resulting in swelling of the gums.  While for some babies it does not appear to be a problem at all, other tots might find it quite painful.   Something cold will help to soothe the inflammed gums, such as one of the  organic cotton baby toys, soaked in water and then frozen.

There is usually a sequence in how babies get their teeth.  The lower incisors come in first, followed by the top incisors then the molars and canines follow.

Toddler Bed Rails, to Use or Not?

organic toddler beddingIt’s quite exciting when you realize that your precious baby is now big enough to move into a single bed.  There are some wonderfully colorful organic  toddler bedding sets available to add to the excitement.  This is the time to make the decision about whether to install bed rails.

Most models of toddler bed rails are made to fit between a mattress and box spring, using some variation of an L-shape. The actual height of the rail varies and can be affected by the depth of your mattress. This is an important thing to consider when looking at the size of a rail. If you are left with only a few inches of protection, a restless child can roll right over the top at night.

Another consideration is the construction. Toddlers can be restless and temperamental. Banging their heads on rails can cause bruises and a bigger tantrum than they were having to start with. You may wish to consider rails that are padded, for extra protection.  Before looking for a bed rail, measure the bed’s height and the mattress depth. Then compare the features offered by each manufacturer of rails, including padding, portability, and ease of use.

When setting up a crib or bassinet for a new baby, organic baby bedding is the best way to go.   Because it is made from organic material and derived from all natural fibers such as cotton or bamboo you know it will be softer and healthier. You can buy organic baby bedding in organic fitted sheets, organic cotton mattress, organic bumper guard and even organic blankets. They also tend to lastlonger than non-organic bedding. Organic baby bedding is an ideal choice for any baby for obvious health reasons.

All mattresses that are not organic tend to accumulate bed bugs over time. These microscopic insects can irritate baby’s skin and cause baby to develop allergies. Fibers such as organic cotton and natural bamboo can actually deter bed bugs from settling in your baby’s mattress. This means that baby will not be breathing in dust mites and bed bugs living from the crib mattress. Instead, they’ll be sleeping on organic baby bedding that promotes a cleaner and safer sleeping environment. It also eliminates the chances of being bitten by the little critters or developing a rash from the bedding itself.
