Baby Crib Bedding Sets

By Darren Hartley


A lot of attention has been paid to crib safety. Manufacturers of baby crib sets must conform to strict safety codes effective February 1974. This was necessitated by a large number of serious crib accidents. The features of a crib that has been with a family must be ensured to conform to current safety standards.

The crib slats of baby crib sets must not be more than 2 3/8 inches apart for the prevention of the heads or limbs of babies from getting caught in between them. Such an occurrence could lead to injury, and worst, to strangulation. A crib with missing slats or spindles must never be used.

There must be no rough or sharp edges in the metal hardware of baby crib sets. Babies may accidentally fall against them. Perfectly working locks and latches on the drop-side of the crib is a must. This will ensure that the baby cannot accidentally release them and fall out of the crib.

The insurance that the bed is safe and comfortable is an important aspect in the creation of an ideal nursery for the little one. The purchase of soft and breathable crib bedding sets is a big part of this aspect. While giving the baby the perfect place to sleep, the ideal baby bed sheets also add style to the nursery.

Crib bedding sets with sheets that have elasticized edges and fit the crib mattress snugly must be chosen to ensure the safety of the baby as well as prevent the sheet from slipping off the mattress. It must always be remembered that loose sheets are hazards to safety.

Weather conditions and room temperatures must always be considered in the selection of crib bedding sets as babies must not get too warm when sleeping. While choosing bedding with cotton sheets for most situations, it is also a good practice to reserve bedding with flannel sheets for cooler conditions.
