by Julie Seguss, 01/23/12

When you put your baby in her crib, the last thing you want her to sleep on is a bed of hazardous chemicals, right? Well, unfortunately traditional baby mattresses are filled with toxins including PVC, phthalates and fire retardants. Since your baby will spend 10 to 14 hours a day on said mattress, choosing an eco-friendly one is important for her health and safety. We recently discovered Greenbuds organic mattresses and are excited to have three of their wonderful green sleep products to give away. One grand prize winner will win a Greenbuds Magnolia Deluxe Organic 2-in-1 Crib Mattress and an organic cotton sheet set worth $492, and one runner up will win an Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector from Greenbuds sized for standard crib mattresses worth $54.95. Ready to win a safe sleep environment for your green baby?

Innovative SkipHop Complete Sheet Eliminates the Need for Dangerous Crib Bumpers

by Jennifer Chait, 10/20/11

This week, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) issued some new safe sleep guidelines for infants. Part of the new recommendations include a definitive recommendation that parents should avoid crib bumpers (including mesh ones). According to the AAP, bumper pads should never be used in cribs, because there is absolutely zero evidence that bumper pads prevent injuries, yet there is a very real risk of suffocation, strangulation or entrapment for babies sleeping in cribs with bumpers. Many parents want crib bumpers, not because they’re necessary, but because they’re cute for nursery design. However, cute should never override safety, especially when it comes to your baby. Luckily, SkipHop has found a way to offer parents both the cuteness they want in a nursery set and the safety babies need with their new Complete Sheet.
