Ni Sleep Solutions Dreaming of a good night's sleep?
When thinking about sleep time, consumers often focus most on the crib or cot and accompanying bedding as it forms the core sleeping environment. When sleep becomes a problem, however, there
of any
are number of other 'essentials' to recommend ... As every baby is different there is no set route to follow when providing families with the equipment they need to best care for their new arrival. Instead, retailers should aim to combine universal safety standards with sleeping solutions to suit each family. There are a number of different options in baby-bedding, from cellular blankets to organic, untreated fabrics. Bamboo in particular is a popular new choice, thanks to its anti-bacterial and anti-dustmite properties. Devices designed to soothe baby to sleep are another useful bedtime aid. A few well chosen items can make all the difference to overwrought parents trying to get their baby to sleep. Babies are comforted by familiarity and routine, so predictable and regular use of items can soon become a relied upon bedtime ritual. Sensory devices which incorporate gentle motion or vibration, sound and even scent are all great choices. Room thermometers, many with digital displays and colour coded
warning systems ensure that parents know at a glance that their baby’s environment is at the optimum temperature for a comfortable sleep. Maintaining room temperature not only aids sleep but also reduces the risk of baby overheating which is a factor in sudden infant death syndrome. Blackout blinds are an invaluable addition to any nursery or bedroom as a baby will nap throughout the day, so whatever outlook the room has the light will be sure to stream through normal curtains at some point during the day.
A bathtime routine can act as an extension of the bedtime process and is especially helpful if parents are having trouble getting their baby to sleep; stocking a range of bath products and linking the sale of them is therefore a good idea.
