How to choose a set for a crib for newborns?

Pleasant troubles of parents expecting a baby are in many respects connected with the acquisition of everything necessary, because the list of things that will be required immediately after discharge from the hospital can not be called small. Of course, one of the first in this list is a kit for a crib for newborns, which will be needed immediately. To choose is from what: in the market are presented as sets, which include only the necessary minimum, and those in which you can find everything you need, and even more. How to make the right decision?

Set for a crib for newborns and size of a berth

The first thing you should look at is the size of the bed and the mattress. Russian standard dimensions of the latter: sixty to one hundred and twenty centimeters, and most of the sets for cribs are sewn on them.

But the specimens brought from Spain or Italy may differ. So, often these cribs have large dimensions of a berth: sixty-five for one hundred twenty-five centimeters.

These figures are very important, as usually a set for a baby cot includes a sheet on the elastic, which should fit the size of the mattress, and the edge, the ease of use of which directly depends on them. Thus, the dimensions of the sleeper - the first thing you need to pay attention to.

Set for a crib for newborns: what it includes

The maximum complex includes a blanket, a pillow, a border with a removable cover, a canopy, a pillowcase, a duvet cover and a sheet. Cots for newborns, photos of which can be seen in electronic and paper catalogs of most stores, are equipped in this way, and, having bought such a set, you can fully equip the sleeping place of the baby.

On the one hand - it's convenient, on the other - many mothers from using a number of components from this kit refuse quickly enough.

So, canopy, the main practical purpose of which is to protect the baby from insects, collects a lot of dust on it and disrupts the natural air circulation. In hot weather, the baby under it will be uncomfortable. Aesthetics, of course, is important, but in practice the benefits of this accessory are questionable.

Some mothers, for hygienic reasons, refuse to use the rim. But here the situation is not so unambiguous. On the one hand, the rim also prevents fresh air from entering the bed, on the other - it creates a cosiness and gives the kid a sense of security. When a child grows up and begins to turn over, such a soft protection will become simply necessary. Strikes against the bed grille are unlikely to give the kid pleasure. Many people use it according to the situation: in the heat they remove it or open it at the feet, tying up excess parts, and in the cold or under normal temperature conditions they use it in the standard mode. By the way, the sides can be different: for the entire perimeter of the bed or only for its half.

Another element of the set is a pillow, sometimes not at all like the one intended for a young child. Moreover, the newborn does not need it at all, it has no positive effect on the formation of the skeleton.

Thus, when choosing such a package, you need to think about what will actually be used, and what will simply take up space on the shelves, and calculate the economic feasibility of such an acquisition. By the way, it's not a fact that buying all the elements separately will be more profitable, because wholesale is always cheaper.

It is unlikely to be limited to one set for a crib, and for this case there are sets consisting only of bed linen, which is used as a removable.

Crib for baby cot: a bit about materials

The only synthetic material that can be used in the manufacture of sets for a baby cot is a sintepon in the cushions of the rim. All other elements must be only natural. Of course, sometimes sintepon is also a filler in a blanket, but this solution can not be called ideal.

Bed linen can be made of such fabrics as satin, coarse calico or cotton. To determine how long it will last, it is usually enough to simply look at it and "try" what it feels like.

The choice of fillers for pillows and blankets is also rather big: wool, corn or bamboo fiber and others. Quality kits often have anti-allergic impregnation.

And what else can it take?

Buying a set for a baby crib, it will be important to pay attention to such an addition as a waterproof mattress pad. It can be made in the form of a cover (like a sheet) or a canvas the size of a bed with rubber bands in the corners. The baby will not always be in the diaper, but as it grows and increases in motor activity, the use of diaper-napkins becomes inconvenient.
