Hot Tips for Preparing a Baby Nursery

Bringing your new born child home for the first time is an overwhelmingly positive experience for the parents involved. To make sure that your baby enjoys the experience as much as you do, it's important to put a lot of thought and care into what will make up your baby's nursery.

There is more to setting up a quality nursery for your baby than just colour scheme and appearance. Your baby's living environment must be tailored to the very specific health needs of young infants. This includes your baby's ability to breathe effectively, without having to face the ill effects of an underprepared nursery. This can be as simple as choosing the right cot quilt, one that not only keeps your baby warm and covered, but also guards against dust and house mites that can irritate the delicate senses of your baby.

Your choice of cot quilt is instrumental in providing your baby with the best possible start in life. Something that all parents should consider is what sort of material they would like their baby's cot quilt to be made out of. While wool, down and feather cot quilts are all great sources of warmth, they have been known to offer little protection against dust particles and mites. This is why when preparing your baby's nursery a silk cot quilt may be safer option. Silk doesn't retain foreign particles in the same way that many other textiles do, which creates a cleaner breathing environment for your baby.

If your baby has allergies, or there is a history of asthma and hay-fever in your family, having a hypoallergenic cot quilt is a wise precaution to take and a valuable addition to any nursery. This is where the natural hypoallergenic qualities of silk prove advantageous, not only for cot quilts, but all throughout your nursery.

Comfort is another key concern that parents should bear in mind when setting up a nursery for their baby. There needs to be enough warmth to ward off the winter bugs, yet not so much that your baby is likely to overheat in summer. Dense yet breathable fabrics are the best way to create a comfortable environment all year round. By choosing a silk cot quilt you gain the breathability that silk is famous for, along with its surprising ability to retain and regulate heat in winter. This gives you peace of mind that your baby will be in a constant state of comfort all year round, free to develop in a safe environment which minimises the risk of illness.
