Mattresses for baby and allergens | Babylove To reduce allergens to baby, the first and most important thing you can do is to buy a brand new mattress for your newborn. Most experts recommend against buying second-hand or used crib mattresses. Because these mattresses are used, it’s very difficult to know how clean they are, how they have been stored, or if they have been contaminated with diaper leakage or other fluids. Older mattresses can also have potential allergens, including dust mites, insect droppings, fungus, pollens, and other problems. Some crib mattresses and mattress covers are labeled “hypoallergenic.” These are often made from organic cotton or other materials that reduce the risk of allergies. While these will protect your baby’s skin from contact allergies, they do not necessarily protect against environmental allergens that drift onto your baby’s bedding. New mattresses can be outfitted with mattress pads or covers and snug-fitting sheets to reduce allergen exposure. Once you’ve set up your baby’s sleeping environment, you can cut down the number of allergens and other contaminants by regularly cleaning the bedding, including the mattress pad or cover and mattress itself. Many mattress pads are designed to be removed and cleaned in a conventional washing machine. ========================== Visit the link below to know more parenting tips! https://babyloveasia.com/parenting-tips/ ========================== #babycot #babycotinmalaysia #babybath #babybedding #babymattoplay #babymatplay #babymatforplaying #babybather #babybathingtub #babybathing #babybed #babycotmalaysia #babybathtub #babyplaymat #babycotmurah #babybedset #babywithpillow #babybathtubstand #babybathonstand #babybathwithstand #standwithbabybath #babybathingstand #babybedcot #babybedwithswing
