Jersey Sheets For Your Baby
Just as jersey sheets have become popular for adults everywhere, more and more manufacturers are offering jersey sheet sets for babies’ cribs and bassinets as well. This is not surprising, since this type of sheet is very comfortable, warm and absorbent. Probably best of all, jersey sheets are an economical choice.
Babies and toddlers need more frequent sheet changes, because – let’s face it – they tend to have little accidents while sleeping. Jersey sheets take a lot of the fuss out of ensuring your little one has a dry, comfortable place to sleep.
Every mom knows that once a baby comes into the house, everything seems to take a little longer. The less time you can spend on chores, the more time you’ve got to relax – or so the theory goes. One way to accomplish this is by spending a little less time worrying about laundry.
Many baby items need special care, so you might find yourself worrying over fabrics that need to stay fuzzy, or things that need special attention to keep from shrinking. Your baby’s newest sheets, made from jersey fabric, don’t need anything special.
Since babies have such sensitive skin, it’s best to use a dye and perfume free laundry system designed just for them. You’re sure to find a favorite laundry product to use. You can wash your baby’s sheets along with pajamas, other blankets, and clothing. Use cool to warm water, and feel free to put these right into the dryer. If your baby uses cotton diapers, be sure to wash these separately from everything else – they need a bit of bleach and special care to smell fresh and clean.
There’s no need to iron sheets made of jersey fabric. Simply put them right onto the bed, fresh from the dryer, and you’re finished. If you’ve got several sets and do laundry just a couple times a week, then simply fold them up and put them away until you’re ready to use them. You’ll be happy to have a fresh supply of clean sheets for your little one in the event of a night time emergency. And unlike percale sheets which are also often recommended for babies, jersey sheets will be instantly warm to the touch and so you will not disturb your baby more than necessary.
The best selection of jersey sheets made just for babies is available online. You can find solid colors, cute stripes and checks, and of course, all kinds of prints that will match your nursery’s theme.
