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 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.
