Parents of each child strive to give their child the best, to give something that will allow him to grow and develop to the fullest, without worrying about health problems. Of course, a huge role in this process is given to sleep and rest. Indeed, unlike an adult, a child spends most of his, not yet completely conscious, life in a dream.
In order for the baby to calmly and without problems plunge into the kingdom of Morpheus, it is necessary to choose high-quality accessories - a baby blanket, pillow and bed linen. Moreover, each element separately must meet certain requirements. First of all, the material from which the item is made must be hypoallergenic, that is, not be the cause of allergies and the development of possible diseases on this soil. These materials include eco-cotton, bamboo and corn fibers.
The second category of properties that a baby blanket or pillow should have is the thermodynamic characteristics. Simply put, the material from which the sleeping element is made should retain heat well without wasting it. That is, it must have high thermal conductivity.
Of course, air exchange plays a huge role for children's sleeping sets. The little man should not suffocate if he wraps himself in a baby blanket with his head. At the same time, a good product must be hygroscopic - that is, a cover cannot prevent the evaporation of moisture. In addition, it should maintain heat at the required level.
Of course, an important factor is the simplicity of caring for the product. Baby blankets and pillows should be easy and simple to wash, not require any special types of care, and also not exhibit deformation properties. Indeed, in order for the kids to grow up healthy, their bedding must often be subjected to hygienic treatment.
There are a huge variety of types of blankets. At the same time, you can purchase this element both for the summer season and for the cold winter period. Also, a baby blanket can be made of natural or artificial materials (in this case we can talk about both fillers and the surface itself). In addition, they may differ by the method of manufacture - woven or knitted.
The following types of blankets are available:
1. Down - this is, as everyone knows, the warmest form. The best filler for this product is considered to be the fluff of a swan or loon. The most common is the goose feather. The negative property of this product is moisture absorption.
2. Woolen - light and warm blankets, which are made most often from sheep or camel hair. The main disadvantage of this product is the likelihood of allergies.
3. Wadded - currently almost not common. A baby cotton blanket is environmentally friendly, however, in the process of use, the material that fills the product, stray into lumps and accumulates odors.
4. Synthetic - products of this type are made exclusively from non-natural materials. The main advantages of this blanket are hypoallergenic properties and low cost. The main disadvantage is low moisture conductivity.
Thus, when choosing bedding for crumbs, you need to be very careful.
