Baby safety covers
Baby safety covers keep your baby comfortable and safe
while she sleeps. Experts say that safety should always trump aesthetics
when it comes to blankets. One golden rule to always remember: never
let your baby sleep on the plastic covers that accompany any mattress
because these can cause suffocation.
Electric blankets are not effective baby safety covers. Babies should
be kept away from electric wires and outlets. If your baby is cold during
the winter, simply turn up the heat or buy warm pajamas.
The fluffy quilts that come with mattresses are also ineffective baby
safety covers. Because of their thickness they pose the threat of suffocation.
Always replace these with blankets made of another fabric. Don't forget
that babies overheat more quickly than adults, so cotton makes a good
choice for blankets.
