How to pick up bumpers in the crib for a boy?

The most important thing for parents is to preserve and improve the health of the baby. When purchasing children's things, first of all you should think about their usefulness. The sides in the bed for newborns is one of the necessary devices to ensure the most comfortable and safe stay of the child while in the sleeping bed.

The sides are thin mattresses, usually made of fabric, inside the case there is a softening filler. Usually they are attached to the walls of the crib with ties with tapes or loops with velcro.

Functions

According to the main functional purpose, the bumpers are also called bumpers.

They:

  • protect the child from cold walls, drafts;
  • protect against impact on the walls and railings of the bed;
  • the available drawings distract the child’s attention, the younger children study them carefully;
  • create in children a sense of psychological security;
  • decorate the children's area, give a special atmosphere of color and comfort.

Quite often, cribs are equipped with bumpers, but in the absence of them can be purchased separately or sew yourself.

The sizes of sides can vary depending on models of beds. But as a rule, the height of the product is about 40 cm with a length and width of 120 and 60 cm.

When determining the size should take into account the features of the child: It is advisable for hyperactive children to close the most dangerous places as close as possible, and quiet babies usually look at the world around with interest, and high sides will hinder them. You can take both parameters into account, but in this case you just have to remove the bump-attach depending on the mood of the child.

The number of sides can also be different: they can surround the baby on all four sides, and only 2-3 walls can close.

The sides can be completed with a canopy and bedding, which are combined in color or have a completely identical color range.

Cover fabric

The choice of fabric is very important.

Fabric requirements are very tough:

  • it should not cause allergic reactions;
  • should be well washed, dry as quickly as possible;
  • drawing should not be an annoying psychological factor.

It is best suited for covers natural fabrics: linen, cotton, flannel, calico, calico. Properly selected color scheme contributes to the calmness of the child, positively affecting the duration of sleep and the state of the nervous system.Figures develop attention and accelerate the process of recognizing objects of different shapes and colors.

The patterns and color of fabrics for boys and girls differ, but do not stick to the classics: blue for boys, pink for girls. It is better to take into account the effect of color on the physiology of children.

Children's psychologists recommend boys not only the traditional blue, but also green, orange, universal white.

  • Calm orange color helps digestion, improves skin color. But at the same time, the color should not be saturated with a red tint, since the red color stimulates nerves, muscles, breathing and will not contribute to calmness.
  • Green reduces pressure, soothes the nervous system, dilates capillaries, reduces headaches.
  • Blue normalizes the rhythm of breathing, relieves hyperexcitability, saves from insomnia and nervous disorders, eases painful manifestations. In this case, it is believed that this color reduces appetite.
  • White color calms, gives a positive mood, is a source of vigor and energy.
  • Blue and purple colors often used for boys are undesirable.since the overly calming effect of blue can develop into a depressant, retarding development of the body, and violet, combining red and blue, has an adverse effect on the nervous system.

When choosing color tones and drawings, preference should be given to calm pastel versions, since constant bright stimuli will only disturb the calm, making it difficult for the child to sleep.

Advantages and disadvantages of fillers

The significance of the fillers is no less important than the choice of fabric.

Most often, foam rubber, sintepon, holofiber, holcon, periotek, polyester are used as fillers.

  • Foam rubber has a high wear resistance, but it retains moisture for a long time, and this prevents it from drying out quickly, which is why microbes can develop in it.
  • The synthetic winterizer is considered one of the best fillers: it dries instantly, does not deform during washing, and is well washed. However, it must necessarily be stitched, as it can slide.
  • Holofiber is a modern hypoallergenic filler that has recently appeared on the market. Similar in quality characteristics to the sintepon.
