Where will
your baby Sleep?
For the
first few months, your baby will spend most of every day sleeping.
The typical newborn sleeps about 18 hours a day. You have several
options for your newborn’s sleeping arrangements: Bassinet, Cribs,
and/or Cradle. Even the youngest infants have
individual needs. However, your baby will be sleeping most
of the time and whenever they want. Unfortunately, babies are
not on your schedule, they have their own. Your baby may
be sleeping all day and be up all night, which is
very typical. You should be thinking about your baby’s
sleeping arrangements before your baby arrives. It can be a
challenge to find a quiet place for your baby to sleep during
the day.
Decorating
the nursery is a favorite project for new parents and caregivers.
Beddings should always be used as instructed by the
manufacturer to help ensure your baby’s safety.
- An Infant should
ALWAYS sleep in a crib, which meets current federal and ASTM
standards.
- Choose a firm mattress
that fits snugly in the crib.
- ALWAYS use a crib
sheet that fits securely on the mattress and wraps around the
mattress corners.
- Select bumper pads
that fit around the entire crib and tie or snap securely into
place.
- Use bumper pads only
until the child can pull up to a standing position. Then remove
them so baby cannot use the pads to climb out of the
crib.
- Mobiles should also be
removed when baby can pull himself or herself
up.
- NEVER place infants to
sleep on pillows, sofa cushions, adult beds, waterbeds, beanbags,
or any other surface not specifically designed for infant
sleep.
For Babies Under 12 Months…
- Normal, healthy
infants should ALWAYS sleep on their backs unless otherwise
advised by a pediatrician.
- Only a fitted sheet,
mattress pad, and/or waterproof pad should be used under
baby.
- Remove pillows,
quilts, comforters, sheepskins, pillow-like stuffed toys, and
other pillow-like products from the crib.
- Cover baby with a thin
covering, such as a crib blanket, receiving blanket or other
blankets specifically designed for infants, only reaching as far
as baby's chest, and tuck the covering around the crib mattress.
For newborns, consider swaddling.
- Do not overdress your
baby. Consider using a sleeper or other sleep clothing as an
alternative to any covering.
Decisions,
decisions, that comes of course after, questions and more questions.
What do I need? What don't I need? What do I like and need? What do
I like, but really don't need? Someone told me that this (whatever)
is dangerous, and this (whatever) is not? Who do I listen to? Who
really knows some answers and what are their answers based on?
Did I hit home? Do some of these questions ring true to you
right now? Are you so confused and just do not know whom and what to
believe?
That is why I am here to try and help. I do not have
all the answers, nor do I pretend to have all the answers. However,
I do have some of them, and let me tell you why.
I have been
in the infant's bedding market as a designer and manufacturer for 29
years. That is a pretty long time to have grown and survived in a
market filled with dozens and dozens of companies, new and
innovative ideas daily, safety concerns on the part of our industry
and that of the government, and constant new rumors. I have been
extremely active in the infant's safety committee together with the
Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA), and that of ASTM
(ASTM International is a not-for-profit organization that provides a
global forum for the development and publication of voluntary
consensus standards for materials, products, systems, and
services)…together for almost the last decade we have worked,
discussed and researched many issues that concern you and your
precious little ones regarding safety trends, products and use of
products.
My passion has been in the infant's bedding area
for obvious reasons. I manufacture bedding and I want to make sure
that I make the best and the safest, and of course, the most
beautiful bedding on the market today and every day. My passion for
safety is well known. I really believe in the need to educate the
new moms of today, to promote the right product for the right reason
and to dispel erroneous advice. I feel that I am pretty well
qualified based on my experience and dedication to the
industry.
O.K. so now, what's the point? I have been hearing
now for several months that information from consumer organizations
and agencies that deal with pregnant moms, even hospitals that have
classes for pregnant moms are advocating and dispensing advice on
nursery decorating. One of the primary pieces of advice is their
position on bumpers for the crib. It now seems to be trendy and
politically correct to advise moms-to-be not to put bumpers in the
crib. This is a major mistake, and information like this coming from
these agencies that have yet to appear at one safety meeting without
any documentation is extremely dangerous.
Bumpers are a must.
Absolutely. However, there are important pieces of information as to
what type of bumpers, their length of use, and materials that must
be made aware to young parents-to-be. Without a bumper in the crib,
the young infant is being exposed to danger of their soft spot, and
getting their little legs and arms caught in between the
slats.
That said, the advisory is as follows:
a)
bumpers must be made to fit properly and securely in the crib which
means, no overlapping of sections, and no wide gaps between the ends
at the corner sections.
b) Bumper tie lengths must be from
7"- 9". This is the rule. This is the standard which at present is
voluntary, but this is the standard that has been accepted by JPMA,
ASTM and the CPSC. Bumper ties that exceed the 9" are a potential
strangulation risk. Why? If all the bumper ties are not secured
properly in a bow or in a knot, those ties can become the danger.
Manufacturers that exceed the 9" rule (and there are several), are
violating the voluntary standard that we have accepted for several
years. Longer than 9" might look great, but it is not appropriate
and approved for your infant.
c) Chenille - at present, is
not against the standard. However, this could possibly change. I
will tell you why. Chenille is beautiful, toasty and warm. However,
the chenille fabric itself is made of yarns that pull out. That's
what makes chenille chenille. Just imagine that you are in a crib
for hours at a time and you are not always sleeping in this
environment. You are growing by the minute, and you are exploring
and learning. Your little hands are the guides. You feel the texture
and it feels good. You play with the yarns, and, as nature will
teach you, you pull on the yarns. So then what do you do? Do you
call for help and report a defect in the product? I don't think so.
What you will do, because you are a developing curious little one,
you will put those threads in your mouth. How many will you put in?
As many as you can! Will you choke, maybe and maybe not. You might
cough, and you will definitely swallow them after you have moistened
them plenty with saliva. You might even find that you are having so
much fun pulling and eating them, that the threads are coming out so
often you might even start inhaling them when you rub your adorable
little face into this sweet and cozy material. Because your room is
kept at a nice comfortable temperature, just think of all the
allergy spores and dust mites that are growing on this toasty warm
bumper as well.
Hopefully, from reading this paragraph on
chenille, you will understand why the fabric is controversial and
not recommended for use in the crib. In fact, chenille is not an
appropriate choice anywhere in the crib that baby can reach and pull
its threads out.
d) According to the JPMA, CPSC, and the SIDS
Foundation (First Candle), bumpers that are pillow-like are not
recommended as well. I'm sure that you all know that pillows are not
to be put into a crib. Why? The CPSC and SIDS Foundation (First
Candle) advise against the use of pillows or pillow- like bumpers as
a preventive to SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). So, the bumpers
that are pillow-like could be a potential danger. Bumpers must be
firm. To understand all the issues of SIDS, I suggest you contact
the SIDS Foundation (First Candle). The information is very
important in protecting your baby.
e) Bumpers must have a
minimum of 6 ties to secure the bumper to the crib. However, in
order for the bumper to really be secure, which is extremely
important in preventing the little infant from becoming entangled in
the bumper itself, I suggest bumper ties top and bottom on all four
corners and additional ties on each of the drop sides both top and
bottom.
These recommendations are the basics. These are
simple suggestions to remember, and feel confident about as you
begin the selection process of nursery decorating. You will have a
wonderful time in selecting a variety of styles, colors, and
fabrications during this very special time. Remembering the safety
suggestions (and rules) should give you comfort and confidence in
your selections
