Benefits of Silk Baby Bedding
Silk baby bedding is just right for comforting baby and offering a soothing touch against baby's sensitive skin. Swaddled up in a silk blanket or being put to bed in this luxurious choice in baby bedding will help your baby to get a better night's sleep or afternoon nap.
What makes silk the absolute best in baby bedding? Not only is it available in a beautiful array of colors for babies of both genders and a perfect baby shower gift idea, it also offers these great benefits:
100% Natural silk is soft against the skin because it contains amino acids similar to those found in human skin
Silk baby bedding is hypo-allergenic, so you won't have to worry about allergic reactions now or later
Mildew and mold resistant, making it very low maintenance to maintenance free
Silk bedding will keep your baby from getting too hot or too cold as they sleep, as it naturally retains body heat under cold climate conditions while its breathable material allows that same heat to be released when the temperature is warmer. If night sweats ensue (which can be common in young children, especially during illnesses), silk bedding absorbs moisture, helping them to keep dry. You can rest assured that your baby is sleeping comfortably no matter what the climate.
Silk blankets are light weight and perfect for carrying along for trips, whether close to home or further away. As your baby grows, they may treat their silk blanket as a security blanket, in which case its light weight also comes in handy.
Silk is such a delicate fabric that it conforms to the human body. Other materials used for baby bedding can be too harsh or stiff. Wrapping your baby in a blanket made of silk will help them to feel safe and secure as it hugs their body and offers instant warmth.
While delicate, silk fibers make for a considerably strong fabric. You are sure to get years of use out of your silk baby bedding without it losing its natural texture and softness.
Silk is the safest choice in baby bedding, as it is naturally fire retardant.
While a comfortable sleep for their baby is of great importance to parents, a safe sleep is of the utmost importance. Ensure your baby sleeps safely in addition to comfortably by placing them on their back atop a firm mattress with tight fitting sheets. Remove any pillows or other soft products from their crib and if using a blanket, be sure to tuck it in tightly but only as far up as baby's chest. There are high quality silk sleeper sacks that provide safe sleeping for baby and would accommodate your luxurious silk baby bedding.
