Your Baby Is Having His First Cold - What To Do

As a new parent both you and your family are probably overjoyed. The first few months has been nothing but wonderful and you are hoping it will stay like this forever. Unfortunately everyday life does not work like that and you are bound to experience some bumps in the road along the way and nothing is worse than when your baby gets sick.

Mattress Baby Crib

Like everyone else, you will wake up one morning and find that your little baby has got a real bad cold. Listening to that little chest being so congested can for many first time parents be very traumatic. You may not be quite sure of what to do and feel completely helpless because you can tell your baby is having a hard time breathing and he has a little bit of a fever.

Mattress Baby Crib

In most cases of a baby cold there is no reason to panic and for most babies there is no reason to take them to the doctor either. Of course if taking him to the doctor make you feel better and safer that is what you should do. For anything you are not sure of when it comes to your child you should seek advice from somewhere. Anyway, like mentioned, with most baby colds there is normally no reason to rush to the doctor.

As for yourself when you have a cold there are certain things you should do for your baby when he has a cold. Here are a few ideas which can make it easier for both you and your baby. First of all make sure they get lots of fluids to keep them from dehydrating, this is very important.

In order for your baby to be able to breathe better, purchase one of those mist humidifiers and keep it on while the baby is taking a nap and at night time. This will help loosen up the cough secretions and let them breathe better. A humidifier will also help you if you get a cold so it is not a waste of money.

Keep their head elevated. Try to put something under the baby's mattress to build up their head elevation. Babies always breathe better if elevated and not laying flat on their back during sickness.

If your child has a bad coughing spell, go in the bathroom turn on the shower with real hot water so it will steam up the bathroom. Sit the baby on your lap and let them breathe in the steam. This will help ease their cough.

Other things you can do to keep your child more comfortable during this time is to make sure you have things around the house to lessen the fever and discomfort like for example infant Tylenol. Also make sure to give lots of love, hugs and kisses just to let them know you are there for them.

All of this is only suggestions but hopefully it will help you get through your baby's first cold.

Things You Need To Know About Crib Safety For Your Baby

Crib Safety

Mattress Baby Crib

When you have a baby there are many things you need. You need clothes, bottles, diapers, wipes, a crib, and many others. This can be overwhelming when you stop to think about everything you need for such a small person. The cost of these items may be a concern to parents. Many places sell second hand baby items, you can even go to garage sales too. Most of these things will still be in good shape and you can find some great deals.

Mattress Baby Crib

Secondhand

You can probably find anything you need for your baby except maybe diapers and wipes somewhere they sell secondhand items. One thing we advise would be to not buy your crib second hand. A baby spends a lot of time in his crib. Buying a new crib is a much better choice, they do use them until they are at least one year of age.

Safety Standards

The safety standards for cribs have changed over the years. If you get an older crib it may not meet today's safety standards. The crib rails for instance need to meet measurement requirements. If the crib rails are too far apart the infant may get his head stuck between the bars. However, if the bars are too close the infant may get his arms or legs stuck between the bars. There should also be enough space between the top of the rail and the top of the crib mattress to minimize the risk of the child climbing over the railing and falling out.

Bumpers

The purpose of the bumper in the baby crib is to prevent the baby from getting hurt on the crib rails. Bumpers are made of fabric with soft filling to protect your child. If your child rolls over and bumps his head it wont hurt as bad, it also prevents the child from getting his head stuck between the bars. Even though it is designed to protect the child, you need to make sure it is secured to the crib properly to prevent suffocation. If the bumper is too loose the child could become entangled in it and suffocate.

Blankets and Pillows

These cute bedding sets you can buy usually come with matching pillows and blankets to match the bumper and crib sheet. Although it may look cute, they also pose a risk of suffocation. The child may become entangled in the blanket and may get it wrapped around his head or other body parts and cause an injury or suffocation. With a pillow it may hurt the babies neck, or if the pillow ends up on your babies face it may also cause suffocation.

Sleepers or wearable blankets that form to your babies body are suggested to keep your child warm. These two items will keep the child warm without the risk of suffocation. You may need to check on your child throughout the night to make sure he is not getting too warm.

Just remember that when purchasing a crib it is well worth the investment to buy a new crib. With a new crib you are insured that all the parts are there, it will be assembled correctly if you follow instructions, and that it meets today's safety standards. You may also choose to buy those cute bedding sets, who could resist them. Just remember that it is a good idea to remove the pillows and blankets when the child is sleeping, and to double check to make sure the bumper is on securely to prevent injury or worse. Taking these few simple steps and precautions will make you sleep better knowing your child is safe.

Blankets, pillows can be great for decoration, but they should be removed when it comes time for baby to go to sleep. Bumpers should be fastened properly and double checked at the baby's bedtime each night. During colder nights, parents put their babies in wearable blankets that form right to the baby. There is no risk of the baby becoming entangled in the wearable blanket. Parents should check on the baby during the night to insure that he does not get overheated when wearing the very warm blankets.

With a few little steps, parents can insure safety with their baby's crib bedding. However, they need to remember to avoid using older baby cribs. Older cribs do not always meet today's safety standards. They often do not come with instructions and missing a minor detail in the instructions could be disastrous. In order to assure your baby's safety in a crib, it is very important to consider turning down the second hand offers from your friends and family and buy new. The investment will be worth the peace of mind in knowing that the baby crib you chose is safe and secure.

Pillow Topped Mattress Pads - The Wise Shopper's Guide to Comfortable Mattress Pads

Pillow topped mattress pads are versatile accessories that serve not only to protect your mattresses, but also your investments. You all know that looking for a replacement for your old and worn out mattress is hardly that simple (brand new ones are very expensive). Fortunately, pillow topped pads provide the right protection and layering you need at a more reasonable price.

Mattress Baby Crib

You have more reasons to sleep soundly at night once mattress pads are safely fitted into your baby's crib. These mattress protectors are virtually impenetrable from all liquid spills and body fluids. It also keeps away dust mites, which are known to cause allergy attacks.

Mattress Baby Crib

Pads are also relevant to a variety of medical conditions that cause joint inflammations and back problems. The very soft cotton or wool cushion layers decrease strain on pressure points, which are found on the bony parts of your body like elbows, ankles, hips, and at the back of your heads. This will result to decreased level of pain and improved blood circulation that ordinary firm mattresses couldn't provide.

Of course, you cannot immediately buy one without even knowing the basic facts about pillow topped mattress pads. Generally, these pads come in different fitting mechanisms (how it is attached to your mattress), materials, and depth. All of these will guide you through the whole process of choosing the right pads for you.

The three most common fittings of pads are the fitted pillow pad, anchor pillow pad, and wrap pad. The fitted pillow mattress pad looks like a fitted sheet, wherein the top and side parts are elastic and quilted for additional comfort. The least expensive and secure among the three is the anchor pillow mattress pad. This pad only conceals the top portion of the mattress and uses elastic bands to grasp the curves of the mattress. The most recommended mattress pad is the wrap pillow mattress pad. This type covers the entire surface, including the sides, of the mattress. This uses a thin fiber that stretches to secure the pad into position.

Pillow topped pads are made from different range of materials that could include natural latex, foam, wool, and cotton. For example, the natural latex mattress pads are known to be long lasting, prevent breeding of dust mites, and allergy-free. These are so durable that they can even last for twenty years.

A pad is pretty much useless if it won't fit your mattress (naturally, you have to measure your mattress first). The standard mattress depth measures 7-9 inches while the deep type is 10-15 inches. The pad has a standard depth of 7-14 1/2 inches and the deep pad can extend up to 15 inches.

Keep in mind that research is always the first step before doing any types of purchase. In that way, you can truly get your money's value and enjoy the comforts of pillow topped mattress pads.

Go Organic With Crib Mattresses

It seems that we are on an endless search for the perfect mattress even as adults. We want the right one because we know that waking up refreshed is the way to start a new day. It also holds true for our babies. There can be many reasons why they get cranky and restless at night because an uncomfortable mattress is one of the culprits. Nowadays, comfort also goes hand in hand with health. It is a good thing that there are good crib mattresses that are not only comfortable but also natural and healthy for babies and kind to the environment as well.

Mattress Baby Crib

A crib mattress made of all-natural materials makes sense because we spend a good deal of our time sleeping and we don't want to be breathing toxic fumes while we sleep. An example of a natural material used mattresses is coir. Coir is a natural coconut fiber that is soft and durable. A common mattress cover is cotton batting and there are organic cotton batting available. These materials are comfortable and because they are all natural, and you can be sure that your baby is not breathing in toxic fumes. It is a reassuring thought for all parents.

Mattress Baby Crib

Some thoughtful companies have considered the fact that cribs and bassinets come in different shapes. Aside from the standard mattress size and shape, they have come up with an organic oval crib mattress, oval being a common shape especially in bassinets. And since allergies are very common they also made them without using latex or wool, which can cause allergies. You can make this healthy crib mattress more comfortable by topping it with an organic oval mattress pad.

We only want the best sleep for our babies, even when they are sound asleep. Choosing the right mattress and mattress cover for their cribs is crucial. It goes beyond a good night's sleep because the wrong mattress can cause health problems. Organic crib mattresses don't have harmful chemicals, plasticizers, and fire retardants present in the usual foam and vinyl covers. These harmful materials should be avoided at all cost. Imagine all these toxic materials your baby is exposed to when you are not using an organic crib mattress. Ditch those unhealthy mattresses. It is never too early for children to start a healthy, organic lifestyle. You will be doing your baby, as well as the environment, a big favor.

Organic Mattress - Why You Should Buy One

Has your old mattress seen its better days? If so, there is no better time to consider the purchase of an organic mattress. They are available in all standard sizes including crib; twin extra long and California King.

Mattress Baby Crib

Initially, you might think that a natural mattress is out of your price range. However, it shouldn't take long for you to realize that the overall benefits that these sleep surfaces provide are well worth the extra expense.

Mattress Baby Crib

An organic mattress typically lasts two to three times longer than a conventional one. Many have a life span of more than 20 years. This fact, alone, represents a huge savings. Synthetic mattresses emit dangerous fumes, on a continuous basis, which are especially harmful to children. Organic mattresses do not present this problem.

Certified organic mattresses are very environmentally-friendly. Because of the biodegradable materials used in their construction, they decompose at a faster rate than synthetic mattresses. They are also not as damaging to recycling equipment.

It is alarming to note that millions of vinyl mattresses are dumped into landfills each year, taking up much needed (shrinking) space.

All natural mattresses are not 100% natural. Manufacturers are permitted to advertise their products as "organic" as long as some of the materials used to make them have been certified organic, under strict U.S. guidelines.

Organic wool is one of the most beneficial materials used in a natural mattress. It is hypoallergenic and dust mite resistant. This aids in the reduction of allergens in the air. It is also naturally flame resistant and complies with the 2007 ruling, requiring that all mattresses sold in the United States be fire retardant.

This fabric also helps to relieve pressure points, while you sleep, reducing the frequency in which you toss and turn. It is a natural insulator of both heat and cold, which aids in keeping your body temperature at a comfortable level.

For those living in extremely humid climates, a natural mattress offers a higher level of comfort because the wool contently absorbs moisture. This reduces the chance of waking up on damp bed linens.

Some organic mattresses are made with latex foam, similar to memory foam. These are the perfect choice for light sleepers who tend to wake up easily when their sleep partner moves.

More and more mattress companies are manufacturing customizable mattresses. This allows consumers to specify such things as mattress firmness and the type of latex used to create their individual sleep system.
