Tender Loving Care.  How is this translated to baby bed?  Your doctor has probably told you that a baby's skin cannot endure coarse fabric and the danger of skin chaffing which can be painful.  To prevent this, you must choose baby bedding that is soft and gentle on the skin such as flannel and 100% cotton.  These fabrics are practical choices for baby bed and are not frightfully expensive compared to top of the line products.

Although not all babies have super sensitive skin, it is smart to be proactive instead of reacting to what might happen to your baby's delicate skin. For your baby's safety, doctors recommend 100% cotton; but before buying all the stuff, did you know that not all cotton fabrics are safe?   

If you have heard of organic cotton, then you know that this very safe for newborns and infants.  This does not contain dangerous pesticides nor does this undergo chemical treatment when processing.  Organic baby bedding and clothing is safe for baby.  Organic cotton is not cheap but if baby's safety and comfort is top priority, those extra dollars are worth the trouble.
