Baby Bedding: A Buyer’s Guide

November 1, 2007 by GreatDad Writers 3 Comments

Your baby spends the major part of the day in bed, sleeping. Therefore, it is important that the baby bedding you provide your child is comfortable, as well as easy to maintain. These are some commonly available options of baby bedding:

Cotton Sheets

Cotton sheets and blankets form a basic requirement for your baby’s bedding. They can be indispensable in helping you maintain a comfortable temperature for your baby. This is because they can be used in layers, allowing you to add or remove them from your baby’s bedding according to your needs. While you can easily buy cotton sheets in sizes that are appropriate for use as baby bedding, in a pinch, you can also cut them out from normal bed sheets meant for adults.

Pillows and Cushions

While an assortment of cushions surrounding your child may look adorable, resist the temptation to use them as baby bedding. Cushions and pillows are known to increase the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Besides, too many cushions in your baby’s bedding may also make it too hot. If you must include a pillow as part of your baby’s bedding, remember, a firm one is preferable to a soft one.

Baby Sleeping Bags

Sleeping bags are another option for your baby’s bedding. An advantage with using them is that your baby will not be able to throw it off as with a simple cover or quilt. But we’re not talking about camping sleeping bags. If you decide to use a sleeping bag, remember to buy one that is the right size, to prevent your baby from sliding completely inside. If you are using a sleeping bag for your baby’s bedding, keep the temperature of the room in mind—a sleeping bag can become quite hot.

Great Dad Talks

Great Dad Talks is a series of conversations with experts on all aspects of the family adventure. With the perspective that “dads don’t always think like moms,” our mission is to support dad voices and our slightly different approaches to parenting. We’ll try to find solutions to every day challenges like getting kids off the couch and making STEM classes available for both boys and girls. But we’ll also tackle bigger issues when they come. The one main theme will be to support dads in the most important role of their lives that of being a great dad.

Spinning Out Family Stress with Michael Blair
byPaul Banas

Welcome to another episode of Great Dad Talks! This week, I sit down with life coach and former psychologist Michael Blair to explore modern tools for family harmony, emotional healing, and child development.

Michael shares the transformative power of his unique “spin” method—a tool rooted in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)—that helps kids, parents, and even whole families quickly change negative emotional patterns in just minutes. Listen in as Michael walks Paul through an anxiety-busting spin live, explains why dads’ involvement is critical to healthy families, and shares actionable tips on self-forgiveness and resilience.
