Important information when buying a sheet or blanket
Differences between a sheet and blanket
The sheet and blanket are not alternatives to each other. The sheet is made from cotton; the knitted Basic Knit also contains acrylic and has no teddy lining. Both measure 75 by 100 cm. Check that you can tuck them securely into your cradle. If you use a suitable sleeping bag, extra bedding is usually unnecessary.
Keep the bedding low and tuck it in securely
Place your baby with their feet close to the foot of the bed, and tuck the sheet and blanket in securely. Keep the head uncovered. VeiligheidNL recommends a blanket that is not too thick; the material alone does not determine its warmth.
A well-fitting baby sleeping bag is an alternative. Usually, do not add a sheet and blanket as well. If you are unsure about keeping your baby warm during the first postnatal week, discuss this with the kraamzorg professional.
Best sheets and blankets: which suit you?
The Meyco sheet and Jollein Basic Knit blanket each serve a different purpose. Both selected versions are crib size. Check that they tuck in firmly and provide suitable warmth. A well-fitting sleeping bag is an alternative; extra bedding is usually unnecessary with one.
