I want to put my baby to sleep with a 100% cotton blanket for safety. Is chenille 100% cotton?
I have wrapped my baby's mattress in a babesafe cover and want to follow the instructions correctly for safe sleeping. It calls for a 100% cotton blanket. His "night night" is polyester but feels similar to chenille so I may be able to make the switch easily if chenille is okay. Is anyone familiar with Dr. Sprott's guidelines and does anyone know if the chenille blanket is okay?
How old is your baby? I am under the impression that no blanket is safe in a crib with an infant because they can get tangled and suffocate. .
I use the Babesafe cover too!!
Chenille is not 100% cotton.
Use a super-sized 100% cotton bath towel. It took me a while to figure that one out!
I just wanted to make sure you understand that the cotton blanket goes between the mattress cover and the mattress sheet. Babies shouldn't sleep with blankets in their cribs.
Chenille is a style of weave design, so can be made up of many different kinds of materials–including polyester, cotton, whatever. Reading labels is what you'll need to do…chenille is style, not substance! I've had chenille all-cotton bedspreads forever–but their labels all say "100% cotton". At this early stage, your infant really doesn't have "design control" in his/her life–so go for safety & practicality and forget about the 'night-night' having to be one thing or another. A few little whimps won't kill the kid as much as plastic will!
Mine are! Most chenilles are going to be acrylic. Check out my website.
