Baby Health Care: The Right Organic Crib Mattress
Babies sleep sixteen hours regularly in a day. It is not surprising that every parent wants to make sure that there is nothing to harm his baby’s health when he lays down on his crib. The first thing to consider then is the crib’s mattress, where the baby lies often. Parents who know the importance of using earth-friendly products and their effects to sustainability would be happy of an organic crib mattress’s benefits.
What makes an organic crib mattress an indispensable tool for your baby’s health? The first thing to look into is the materials that make it up. Most of the traditional baby crib mattresses are made from materials like plywood and they are sealed in with the use of toxic substances like formaldehyde, which is what baby will be breathing as he lays on his crib’s mattress. PBDE or polybrominated diphenyl ether which causes cancer and sudden infant death syndrome is also found in high amounts in the regular crib mattresses. Organic baby crib mattresses are made of 100% organic substances such as organic cotton, organically grown wool, or natural rubber. With organic crib mattresses, you as a parent are assured that your baby’s bedding is non-toxic and non-irritating as well as hypoallergenic and antibacterial. You can be sure that he won’t catch any respiratory problems, diseases caused by bacteria or suffer from skin irritation because of the toxic chemicals that are found on the mattress.
There are also no chemicals in organic baby mattresses from dyes and metals that can cause serious health problems to your baby in the long run. The sealant used for these organic crib mattresses is not formaldehyde but tree-based oil; hence it does not cause any irritation to the respiratory system. Some organic crib mattresses are waterproof and it gives baby the protection from dust mites and other airborne particles that can cause respiratory problems in the long run. A good quality crib mattress can serve as a great mold of the baby’s body when it’s cold and he needs a blanket.
Some great brands of organic crib mattresses also come with organic bumpers and comforters that are made of the same organic substances. You may think that because it is organic it would have a queer look; on the contrary, you can find organic crib mattresses of stylish and sleek designs which are more pleasing to the eyes than any synthetic material.
Parents will have peace of mind knowing that their baby is not exposed to harmful chemicals that can cause diseases even if they lay on their mattress for as long as they want.
