Up until the age of twelve months American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines on minimal bedding for the crib should be followed as until that age children are not mobile enough to push bedding away from their face. Parents should realize that until a baby is a year old, safety precautions should still be used when modifying the crib area. As soon as the baby can sit upright, and definitely before she can pull herself into a standing position, lower the mattress and remove any items that might be used as steps. To prevent babies from climbing over crib rails, crib bumpers should be taken out.
SIDS becomes much less likely after the baby’s first birthday, and more bedding can be added to the crib to make it comfortable and look better. People use comforters and bed skirts to enhance the nursery decor. Child-sized fuzzy blankets are great for snuggling as well as providing warmth. While many toddlers appreciate a plush toy in the bed to help ease the nighttime routine, pillows are better for two-year olds.
