From the first days of life, we try to give a child as much attention as possible: we surround him with affection and care, we give love and tenderness. Few people tend to save money when it comes to the health and well-being of the baby. Are expensive and high-quality synonyms? To understand this issue, the team of our online store Vash Textile has prepared an article for you with useful recommendations;).

The very first and most important purchase is a crib or cradle. Indeed, this very place will become a “universe” for a child for several months. Among the variety of products for children, it is very easy to get confused, or even get lost. Whatever happens, we have prepared a shortlist of tips on how to buy high-quality bedding for babies.

According to doctors, interior items and bedding for newborns are better to buy pastel delicate shades (light blue, light pink, light green, beige, or cream), with dim patterns or artworks.
It is convenient to buy a mattress for growth, but it is better to fit the size of a crib. Mattress covers can be bought separately, although in some cases they are sold assets with a mattress.
It is better to buy a baby pillow after 1-2 birthdays. The reason is that up to two years old, the spine of a child forms, and even the best cushion for children can harm. Instead, a cotton or flannel diaper folded several times can be placed under the baby’s head. And for children from two years of age, the optimal size of a baby pillow is 40x60 cm. Among the variety of models and fillers, the following stand out: a bamboo pillow for children (a Bambooshka pillow), a Kapok baby pillow (a silk pillow for children) and a hypoallergenic pillow for children (eco-down pillow)
It is best to buy a baby quilt with a natural filler (a baby quilt with an organic filler). It is better to choose the size taking into account the dimensions of the crib, so that it completely covers the baby and, at the same time, does not crumple. A baby quilt should be taken neither heavy nor scratchy. Therefore, pay special attention to the cover (we recommend choosing it also from natural materials). For the summer period, you can buy a children's plaid, a baby fleece blanket, or a summer baby quilt. The optimal size of a baby quilt is 110x140 cm. A Kapok quilt for a child, a Bamboo baby quilt, an Anti-allergenic baby quilt (Zastelli Kitty) is perfect for all the above characteristics.
In the old days, it was customary to use canopies to protect against insects and prying eyes. I Will not judge how much this helps, but it looks very attractive and puts an additional emphasis on the crib. In addition, you can not only buy a canopy but also make it yourself.
It is better to buy bedding for newborns and children bedding from natural fabrics of high quality. Synthetic materials and mixed fabrics are suitable for adults but can cause children allergies. The ideal material for baby bedding is cotton. Buy inexpensive baby bedding from calico or buy elite baby bedding from sateen - it's up to you. In any case, these are gentle and non-irritating materials.
You can also buy baby bedding separately: buy a fitted sheet and buy a duvet cover, or buy a terry sheet and buy a pillowcase for a baby pillow. Such a purchase will help you to create an individual sleeping place for the baby because thanks to the variety of colors you can easily combine something unique.
