Sleepless nights caring for baby come with the territory—all tiny babies go through periods of time that require around-the-clock care. But if your pediatrician says your baby is at the age and development stage capable of sleeping through the night and you’re still up constantly, these soothing products might help. Safety requirements for sleeping babies change often and methods like pillows, blankets, stuffed animals or in swings and chairs are now considered dangerous. We’ve made sure to provide the most up-to-date safety standards for these nighttime tips.

Cloud Island Plush Fitted Crib Sheet
Doctor’s recommendations to put baby to sleep in her crib with only a fitted sheet are so important—until one year of age, it’s still unsafe to sleep with anything that could potentially pose as a suffocation hazard.

Getting a plush, soft chamois fitted crib sheet like this one from Cloud Island will help keep baby warm and snuggly without being an unnecessary risk. Oeko-Tex certification also ensures this crib sheet won’t expose your precious baby to harmful chemicals.
