Follow the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations on minimal bedding until the baby is at least one year old and able to clear bedding away from his or her own face. It may still be necessary to adjust crib’s contents to prevent injuries prior to age 12 months. The mattress height can be lowered when the baby can sit upright, and all items that he or she can climb onto should be removed at that time. Crib cushions especially provide an easy grip and hence they should be removed so as to prevent kids form mounting on the crib railings.
Comfortable bedding items can be placed in a child’s crib after age 1, when the risk of SIDS decreases. You should get a bed skirt and comforters that match the nursery decor. Child-sized fuzzy blankets are great for snuggling as well as providing warmth. While pillows act as a companion for many children under the age group of 2,most children prefer stuffed toys with them at night.
