What can I use on my 5 month old sons crib so he doesnt sweat so bad?
Answer:
Make sure there are layers of cotton between him and that mattress. The mattress is vinyl and won't breathe... the fleece blanket is also synthetic and won't breathe... ANYTHING that isn't cotton would go, if it was me. Even the sheets are sometimes now in cotton/poly blends. Avoid those, too.
Stick with all cotton and you should see some improvement.
Sounds like you're doing a great job, mom!!
I would use a bath towel under him...its absorbant...some are nice and plush and soft...i would get rid of the polar fleece...that stuff will maake anyone sweat! stick to 100% cotton ...it wont irritate, will be more absorbant...and might cut down on the sweat
Just put a waterproof matress pad on, and the sheet. A light sleeper should be fine with just a light or no blanket.
stay with 100% cotton everything and get rid of the fleece it'll make a horse sweat too .Hope this helps and also there is a place in Wilmington N.C. called Alligator Pie they have lots of things for preemies and other problems with babies .They currently have no website yet they will soon but you can call them and see what they have to offer.Have you ever put one of those rubber sheets on the mattress it'll keep him cool and it's also absorb ant.I hope this helps .I will keep you and your baby in my prayers.what I mean by the rubber sheet is material like a pee pee/changing pad they have those that are larger but they don't fit the whole mattress.
Sorry that I can't answer this Q as I've never really heard of this & have never had a baby... I thought I'd read your Q cuz I'm prego & I'ma be a mom soon too ! Congrats ! :D I'm just tryna learn bout pregnancy & stuff like that right now. I've been on prenatal vitamins since yesterday already ! Also read this Q cuz I believe that I'ma have a boy... I just have this feeling but I hope I'm wrong ! lol My bf would love it if it does turn out to be a boy...he'll have his Preston :) I like reading bout new mothers & stuff like that. I just found out on Wed morning that I'm prego but the Dr. wasn't able to tell how far along I am...Maybe when I go for my app't on Tues :D Can you check out my Q bout what it's like after giving birth to your first baby ? Would appreciate it if you did. Thanx ! :) Again, congrats ! :D
Let him sleep in his diaper with only and little bit of material under him. Try just having the waterproof pad and a fitted sheet on. Also, put a thin blanket on top of him nothing too heavy. Good Luck!
i agree with the 100% cotton everything. I would have him sleep in a 100% cotton onesie instead of just a diaper. (to prevent other leaks) I might consider putting a fan in his room just to circulate air. (on low not pointed directly at him.)
Fleece makes you sweat. Duh, try sleeping on it yourself.
