Choosing the right crib mattress pad for your baby wouldn't seem like it would be a difficult thing to do. It might not even be something that you intended to do. But getting a high quality and safe pad for your baby's mattress can help him or her get a better night's sleep and even in some cases help them live a healthier life as well.
It used to be that people would get a plastic covering for their baby's mattress, cover it in a sheet and be done with it. While effective for keeping the mattress itself dry, it does not do much to keep your baby dry or sanitary, much less comfortable. You may have purchased the best mattress you could find, but if it is covered in plastic and not a crib mattress pad then it might as well be the worst one you could have found.
Safe Baby Cribs
Ideally, you need to look for a mattress pad that is both soft and firm, as well as extra-absorbent in case there are any accidents or spit ups. Luckily finding all three of those qualities in a pad has gotten easier over the years, and there are even organic varieties being offered as well.
Most of the time, you will be able to find a crib mattress pad made of wool or cotton. These are the standard and they are very comfortable and absorbent, especially cotton. Cotton pads are also much more likely to be hypoallergenic than those made of wool. However, a wool pad is relatively absorbent and their softness provides the perfect temperature for a sleeping baby, which is a huge plus. Organic varieties of both materials are readily available for most manufacturers, and they are just as effective and of just as high quality and those that are not organic, if not more so.
You want to be able to find a mattress pad that fits around the mattress itself very snugly. This way there is no chance of slipping, which could be a possible safety hazard or cause accidents to happen on the mattress itself. Finding one with a high quality wrap-around skirt or holding straps can prevent this type of problem.
Most manufacturers who make baby mattresses also make fitting mattress pads, though they may not be as readily available. A quality mattress pad for your baby's crib is an investment in their health, happiness, and sleep quality. It can be easy to forget the pad altogether, but it is an important part of a crib and of a healthy and sanitary sleeping area for your child. Do not skimp on the crib mattress pad - you could find that you will regret not purchasing one later on.
