What do I put on top of the mattress for baby's sleep?Updated 3 months ago

What should I put on top of the mattress for baby's sleep?

To protect your mattress from spills and accidents, we recommend using a waterproof sheet. Our 2-in-1 Waterproof Fitted Sheet not only shields your mattress but also serves as a top sheet and helps prevent CO2 rebreathing, promoting healthier sleep.

If you're using a regular mattress protector, pair it with a fitted sheet, like our Organic Fitted Sheet, on top. Both should fit snugly and lie flat against the mattress, avoiding any bunching to ensure safety.

Never cover the mattress with plastic or other non-breathable materials during use. It's also important to avoid mattress toppers, as they can reduce the necessary firmness for safe sleep and may pose a suffocation risk. For safety reasons, steer clear of loose bedding, toys, and cot bumpers in the cot as well.
