baby mattressLooking for a baby safe crib might turn into a really heavy and serious business. In this situation, none of safe features should be ignored.  Does the crib meet the basic safety standards?   It can be stated that all cribs meet safety standards and that statement would be absolutely right. According to the Consumer Products Safety Commission every crib made nowadays must meet these standards. Even the least expensive crib will meet the minimum safety standards.

There are also other voluntary safety standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials. In this case, cribs are certified by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association. All the baby cribs that meet these additional safety standards have past the basic safety standards and are safe for your baby.  Now you need to insist on an organic cotton and wool mattress because not all mattresses are made equal.

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.
