THE IMPORTANCE OF SLEEP FOR BABIES

THE IMPORTANCE OF SLEEP FOR BABIES

Sleep is one of the most essential things for babies' physical and mental development. Especially during the newborn period, when babies need frequent naps throughout the day, the importance of quality and uninterrupted nighttime sleep is crucial. A peaceful night's sleep helps your baby start the day fresh, stay open to learning, and positively impacts brain development.

For your baby's physical development, it is important that the sleep process is of good quality. Choose products that support productive sleep, maintain body balance, and are antibacterial, safe, pure, and natural.

Crib and Bassinet

Immediately after birth, some parents may prefer not to use a crib and instead opt for a bassinet or co-sleeping with their baby. However, if you want to place your baby in their own bed from the first year, it's beneficial to have the crib ready.

When purchasing a bassinet or crib, prioritize your baby's safety. Make sure that the gaps between the crib's bars are no more than 6-7 cm, and that the bed has features that prevent easy opening of the sides.

Bedding Sets

Bedding sets typically provide all the items you'll need for preparing your baby's bed. However, many items in these sets, such as extra pillows or covers, will not be used after your baby’s birth. To meet your baby’s sleep needs, a mattress protector, pillow, sheets, and blankets will suffice.

For a healthy and quality sleep for your baby, choose hypoallergenic, waterproof, and breathable pillows and mattress protectors that prevent bacteria and mite growth. Also, avoid purchasing pillows that are either too soft or too hard for your baby’s comfort.

Blankets

During sleep, your baby's safety is just as important as their comfort. Therefore, the blankets you use to cover your baby while they sleep should be made of organic materials that maintain body temperature.

Products made from fabrics that are breathable, healthy, and soft will help make your baby’s sleep time more enjoyable, ensuring they can breathe freely during their sleep and keeping them comfortable.

Pajamas and Nightgowns

When preparing your baby for sleep, there are three important factors to consider in choosing sleepwear: comfort, safety, and practicality. Organic, breathable, hypoallergenic fabrics provide comfort, while snap or button-up designs allow for easy dressing and diaper changes during the night.

 

At this stage, specially designed nightgowns with elasticized bottoms are a highly practical option for baby sleepwear.
