Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack: Remove the sheets from their packaging.
- Initial Wash (Recommended): For hygiene and to enhance softness, it's advisable to wash the sheets before their first use.
- Position: Place one sheet over your cot bed mattress, starting from one corner.
- Secure: Gently pull and stretch the elasticated edges around each corner of the mattress, ensuring a snug and smooth fit across the entire surface. Ensure no loose fabric is accessible to your baby.
Compatibility
These sheets are specifically designed for cot beds. While exact dimensions are not provided, standard cot beds typically accommodate mattresses around 140cm x 70cm. It is crucial to verify that your cot bed mattress falls within these standard dimensions for a safe and secure fit. They are not intended for cribs, Moses baskets, or larger bed sizes.
Care
While specific care instructions for these sheets are not provided, general best practices for baby bedding include:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild, baby-friendly detergent. Use warm water.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or air dry to help maintain softness and prevent shrinkage.
- Avoid: Do not use harsh bleaches or excessive fabric softeners, as these can irritate sensitive skin or degrade fabric quality over time.
- Ironing: If desired, iron on a low setting.
