This week a few clients expressed concern about their baby's crib sheets and the fact that in the morning the sheet would be off the mattress and at times the babies have actually been wrapped up in the elastic end of the sheet. This can be a real concern with ill fitting sheets for babies who are mobile in their crib. When the sheet is not securly wrapped around the mattress even a light tug can cause it to come off and quickly become wrapped around an infant or toddler. The baby typically becomes wrapped in the sheet with the tightest areas around their necks or ribcages and as they begin to struggle the sheet only become tighter. Most children who end up wrapped in the sheet are at an age where they can roll themselves into the bedding, however they are not able to UNroll themselves.
There are a few great options to ensure this does not happen with your child's crib sheet. Sheet clips and suspenders work well, there are also crib safety sheets which have a secure - fitting to help everyone sleep a little more soundly.
