Despite the fact that the soon appearance of the baby in the world - an event of joy, young parents have to deal with and purchase a dowry for crumbs. You can not do without, in the first place, without a bed - a crib with a quality mattress. However, here everything is not easy: experienced moms recommend to immediately choose a mattress pad on a children's mattress .
Why do we need a mattress pad on a children's mattress?
It is clear that the main function of a mattress pad is to protect the mattress from various contaminants (products of vital activity, moisture, food, etc.), friction, thereby prolonging the life of the litter. However, in addition to this mattress pad softens the sensation of the hardness of the mattress and its synthetic components.
How to choose a baby mattress pad?
When choosing a baby mattress pad, first of all, look at the fabric from which it is made. The material should be natural (cotton) and hypoallergenic. The fact that the skin of the baby is tender, vulnerable, so synthetics can cause an allergic reaction in the form of itching, rashes or peeling.
Experienced moms often recommend a waterproof mattress pad in a baby crib, which copes well with the protection of the mattress. It is extremely difficult to keep track of the baby, so incidents are inevitable. However, moisture can be harmful to the mattress, children's waterproof mattress covers can help save the litter. Choose those in which the top layer is made of natural "breathing" material, and the bottom one is made of polyester, polyurethane, which do not get wet.
In addition, when buying a children's waterproof mattress pad, pay attention to the presence of locks, corners, "rubber bands" or zippers, which can tightly fix this accessory to the mattress, to avoid the appearance of folds.
In addition, a children's mattress pad, ordinary or non-wetting, should fit the size of the mattress.
