Collection: TEXTILES AND SLEEP

A child's sleep is a crucial topic for all parents . Babies' habits often change during their rapid development in the first months and years of life, and many factors influence sleep quality. A carefully selected crib and accessories facilitate the establishment of good habits from the very beginning and will make life easier for parents in the first months after birth. The textiles we surround our baby with are also crucial. It's worth investing in high-quality, natural fabrics that will last for many months, even years, helping the little one with thermoregulation during sleep.

Children's beds and textiles

In the first months of life, a newborn sleeps up to 17 hours a day. Sleep is especially important for them. It not only allows them to rest and recharge for another challenging day, but also stimulates development. To ensure your child gets enough rest, you need to ensure the nursery is equipped with the right furniture and textiles – you'll find them at the BÉBÉ Concept store.

Cribs, cradles and other furniture for a child's room

The space for a baby's crib should meet the needs of both the child and their parents, who are trying to balance their new role with their current challenges. If you want to enjoy constant closeness with your newborn, a beautiful crib attached to the parents' bed is a good solution. This design creates ideal conditions for safe sleep and also facilitates nighttime feedings, as the baby is right next to the mother. However, nothing prevents a baby from sleeping in a separate crib with bars from the very first days of life. In this case, choosing children's furniture that grows with their little owners can be a good idea. This will help you create a nursery that will serve its purpose for a long time. It's also worth choosing other accessories for the nursery that will ensure a healthy sleep. A newborn can take naps in a Moses basket, a cradle, or a baby hammock. The tight space, muffled sounds coming from the surroundings and gentle rocking will make your baby feel almost as safe as in his mother's womb - and he will quickly drift off to the land of childhood dreams and dreams.

What fabrics are safe for small children?

A small child's skin is very sensitive and prone to irritation. This means that all children's textiles must be made of delicate materials, such as organic cotton or merino wool. They perfectly regulate the baby's temperature because they are breathable, prevent excessive sweating, and do not cause allergies, so they will certainly meet the expectations of newborns and parents. Merino wool deserves special attention, as it is obtained from a special breed of sheep native to New Zealand . Their wool consists of thin, very delicate fibers, interwoven with spaces filled with air bubbles. As a result , this material provides excellent thermoregulation and helps maintain the child's proper body temperature in various conditions. Merino wool can absorb up to 35% of its weight in moisture and then wick it away. This ensures a feeling of dryness and prevents sweating. These properties are beneficial for the baby, whose skin will be in direct contact with this fabric. However, parents will also experience the benefits. Merino wool is lightweight and, thanks to its high natural fat content, stain-resistant and easy to keep clean. It also doesn't absorb unpleasant odors.

A wide selection of children's textiles in the BÉBÉ Concept store

Choosing a practical and beautiful baby crib is just the beginning. What else should you equip yourself with to create the perfect sleeping environment for your baby? A well-fitting mattress is essential in a safe baby crib. How do you choose the right one? The best baby mattresses are those that are firm enough and provide good support for your baby's spine, preventing them from sinking into the ground while sleeping. In your baby's first year, you won't need a full set of bedding yet. A smooth organic cotton sheet and a baby sleeping bag will be useful. Other baby textiles, such as a wrap or a cocoon, can also help wrap your baby in. Merino wool baby blankets are also useful for covering your baby – it's worth buying one thin one and one warmer one.

When will the first bedding set, consisting of a duvet and pillow, be useful? Between the ages of 1 and 2 – so you can buy them later than the first baby layette. In this case, it's worth choosing natural materials that are safe for a small child's sensitive skin. Products made from organic cotton are a good choice. You'll find top-quality, certified baby beds at the BÉBÉ Concept store. We've prepared a carefully selected selection that's 100% safe for children and designed with parents' comfort in mind.
