The Steps

Step 2: Fitted sheet
Step 3: Flat Sheet

To make up your newborns bed start with a bed protector. The mattress protector goes on top of the mattress, underneath the regular fitted sheet. Cocoon’s breathable and waterproof mattress protector is a comfortable and discreet solution to protect the mattress from any nightly accidents.

The mattress protector is very comfortable to sleep on due to the its unique combination of untreated cotton flannel and breathable membrane. This gives your child the best conditions for a good night’s sleep.

Underneath your woolen blanket, you can use a flat sheet to tuck in your baby. A tip from us: instead of a flat sheet, you can use a large swaddle that matches your bedlinen as well. You need many of them anyways and they’re so multifunctional! Plus, it will protect your woolen blanket.

An absolute must-have if you ask is, is a woolen blanket. Preferably in 100% wool and yes, you can use it in summer as well. The advantage of wool is that it regulates the temperature of your little one. Merino wool doesn’t itch, is antibacterial and you don’t have to wash it frequently.
