Choosing Your Baby Bedding
Having a baby is the most wonderful experience a woman can have as it is a fulfillment of the biological function of the female species. After the giving of birth process, the real work begins. Feeding bottles, diaper changes, immunization records are just a few of the things the new mom has to learn quickly. And one important thing to consider in the arrival of the baby is the kind of baby bedding he or she will use. According to Dr. Mark Brandenburg (http://www.baby-place.com/crib_safety.html), the number one rule to follow in choosing the right baby bedding for your precious infant is safety. The second rule says safety and the third rule emphasizes safety. We are to conclude that it is not enough to say it, it must be emphasized that baby bedding is critical for the comfort of the baby.- In his article on how to find the perfect baby bedding, it must be neither too hard nor too soft. In the past, sudden infant death syndrome or SIDS was attributed to very soft baby bedding. This happened when the baby's mattress is too soft that his nose and mouth gets covered and the air he exhales is the air he breathes. This is dangerous for him since he would breathe carbon dioxide rather than oxygen and the effects could lead to drowsiness, coma or even death.

And with that, it follows that the baby bedding must be a perfect fit with the chosen equipment. The three major selections are: a bassinet, a crib or a cradle. What differentiates one from the other? A bassinet is an oblong-shaped basket that serves as a bed for an infant. But sometimes, round bassinets are also available. A crib is a bed that is flanked with high side bars for a baby or young child's safety. Cribs are usually more economical since the baby can use it from infancy to two years. While a cradle is a small low bed that an infant uses that has rockers on its stand. In all these, the material used to make the equipment should alert and signal to the mom how much safety precautions are needed.
- Bassinets are usually Lacey and full of trimmings mostly used at the time of birth for the newly arrived baby. The baby bedding must fit the bassinet so that the baby's space is enough for him or her to be able to spread the arms especially when crying, rolling from side to side will be short lived in a bassinet, when rolling begins it is full time for baby to get his/her crib. The crib is usually square and much larger, to keep baby in for a much longer period of time, mattresses are made to fit the size of the crib. The baby bedding usually is a set of coverlet and small pillow. Hot dog pillows are not recommended to be placed inside a baby’s crib lest the baby stand on them and could fall over the rails. One flat pillow should be enough for a baby’s crib since most crib sets today are made with side padding to facilitate the rolling of the baby protecting him/her from the hard surface of the rails.
- The cradle can come in various sizes and shapes. Some moms prefer cradles so that when the baby is cranky, he or she can be rocked to be calmed down. The baby bedding for a cradle should follow the shape of it. Not much can be placed inside it since it is used mainly to rock the baby to sleep. However, one needs not the three to keep the baby safe, warm and secure. One will do and this would depend on the parent's preference. The most preferred would be the crib since it can be used for a much longer time.
- Now that we've covered the basic equipment, how do we furnish it with baby bedding? We have already established that the baby bedding should fit the sleeping equipment to avoid accidents and other possible incidents. The most suitable material to choose is cotton as it is absorbent and cool to the baby's skin. Different designs must be used to stimulate the baby's color and pattern recognition. Therefore, the baby bedding is a crucial factor in keeping the baby happy and healthy. By Lucilda Evans

What are the core or basic lessons taught Writing classes? One of the first things I learned about was Freytags Pyramid. I was told that isn't an across the board learning device. So what is? I'm really curious. In poetry I was taught, 'if it means too many things to too many people it misses it's mark'. I have since learned that good writing tends to bring out different reactions in different people and different interpretations. How can learning about creative writing (creativity is so individualized) be standardized?.
