How to prepare a cot for a baby?
At the outset, it should be added that in the case of several-month-old babies, usually after they have exceeded 12 months, you can start using a pillow in the cot. However, it should be flat and soft. In addition to its selection, it is also important to take care of the blanket - this is where the first of the most frequently asked questions by mothers appears.
Which materials should you choose?
In this case, parents should pay attention first to the quality of the fabrics used to make the pillowcases and duvet (they have direct contact with the child's skin), and only then to their patterns, colors, etc. The delicate skin of a child requires anti-allergic products. A great solution is organic cotton bedding , which can be found in the YOSOY store. It should be emphasized that this material has many advantages, namely it is airy, delicate to the touch and exceptionally soft. In addition, this type of cotton has been completely devoid of chemicals in the production process, so it does not cause allergies or irritate the skin. The second option is muslin bedding for the cot – fully ecological, safe for the baby and extremely delicate. The little one will be able to snuggle up in it and sleep soundly, because muslin is one of the most pleasant fabrics to the touch. Or maybe you should decide on pillowcases made of bamboo viscose? This fabric is an ideal choice for a baby, because it does not cause allergies. In addition, bamboo products have antibacterial and antifungal properties, which inhibits the development of microorganisms that can pose a significant threat to the baby. Interestingly, duvet covers or pillowcases made of it look extremely tasteful in the bed.

What to cover your child with?
Every mother wants her child to be warm enough. It is very important to ensure that the baby's feet or hands do not get cold during a nap. This is possible not only thanks to a duvet, which in some situations may be too warm, but also a high-quality blanket. It should be remembered that, as in the case of choosing bedding, the material from which it is sewn is also of great importance in this respect.

A great choice is a high-quality Merino Wool blanket, including navy blue, dirty pink, beige or chocolate milk - all of them are available in the YOSOY store.

Contrary to popular belief, it can also be used in a cot, because newborns feel better in a small space (this affects their increased sense of security). In addition, this solution is dedicated to active children who could accidentally hit the rungs of a wooden cradle.
