Newborns have delicate skin, a softer spine, almost no physiological curvature, and a longer sleep duration. It is recommended that parents choose a crib mattress with moderate hardness and good air permeability, whether it is a latex pad or a cotton pad, as long as the hardness and air permeability are good, they are suitable for newborns to sleep.
1. Moderate hardness: due to the delicate skin of newborns, if you sleep on a hard mattress, baby mattress may make newborns uncomfortable and affect sleep. At the same time, a mattress that is too soft cannot provide effective support for the spine, which may lead to deformation of the newborn's spine. Therefore, it is better for newborns to sleep on mattresses with moderate firmness;
2. Good air permeability: newborn skin is more delicate and susceptible to bacteria than adults. If the weather is hot and the newborn sweats a lot, when the newborn sleeps on an impermeable mattress, the skin is easily irritated, and uncomfortable symptoms such as redness, swelling, and itching appear. Therefore, it is recommended that parents choose a mattress with good breathability for newborns, which is beneficial to physical health.
