Bedding FAQ's
How much bedding does my baby actually need?
If you're a new parent, knowing how much bedding your baby needs can be confusing. Babies don't actually need a lot of bedding and you should avoid lots of loose layers. Whilst you can use traditional sheets & blankets for baby, the American Academy of Pediatrics and Red Nose Australia recommend a wearable blanket or sleeping bag for little babies as their main bedding. In addition to this, you'll need a mattress protector and a fitted sheet as a minimum, although we suggest two of each - one for the cot or bassinet and one for the wash. Once baby is over 6 months old you can introduce a wool underlay to their cot, for added warmth and comfort.
What is the best bedding for babies?
For newborns and young babies, breathable natural fibres such as merino or cotton are the best choice to help regulate temperature and prevent overheating. Cotton and muslin sheets help keep your baby cool and comfortable, while merino wool blankets provide warmth without trapping excess heat. A tightly tucked merino blanket is ideal for extra warmth in a moses basket or bassinet. For older baby's, a cot wool underlay provides extra warmth and you can introduce a cot duvet once your baby is over 12 months old. Always protect your little one's mattress with a waterproof mattress underlay.
How do I choose the right bedding size?
Choose bedding that matches your mattress size for the best fit and safest sleep. A fitted sheet is a great choice because it won't come loose from the mattress. We stock bedding for Moses baskets, bassinets, co-sleepers, cots and standard beds in a range of sizes. Check the size of your mattress and choose the appropriate size. Fitted sheets and mattress protectors should fit snugly without excess fabric, while blankets should be the correct size to tuck in securely if they're being used for young babies.
