Side pillows in the crib for babies
The bed in which the child sleeps must necessarily meet all standards of convenience: optimum size, shape, correct frame construction, executive material, on which the durability of the bed depends, proper height and beyond. But the bed does not always fully provide security, comfort for the baby, because in many respects convenience depends on soft equipment (pillows, blankets, mattresses). In this we are assisted by pillows bumpers for a secure, quiet sleep.
The sides in the crib for newborns are not just an accessory, but a necessary measure of protection that will provide the child with the necessary comfort and peaceful sleep.

We get the necessary material
Before you start sewing, you need to decide on the pattern, the right amount of pillows, choose a fabric (preferably natural), a filler for a pillow (you can choose a different, for example, sintepon, bamboo or foam rubber), think over the form, the kind of final result.
Sintepon as filler.
There is a huge number of types of bumpers that are placed in the crib. It all depends on your imagination.
- Cushions with covers (removable or without).
- Thin, fabric.
- Solid sides.
Regardless of the shape of the crib of a newborn, soft details can be easily placed along its perimeter, because they consist of individual elements.
Thus, there are so many different types of pillows-sides, which contribute to a quiet, peaceful, most importantly - a safe sleep of the child.
the cloth
After you have decided on the look of the product, think about the quantities in which you will sew the sides, it depends on how much fabric you need. Considering that you are sewing, in order to install it in a crib with standard sizes, you will need a fabric of about 5-6 meters in size (the sides will be quite large, you will get approximately.
You can make both the simplest solid bumpers, and more complex elements in the form of figures of animals, houses, letters and other interesting details.
It is not so difficult to choose fabric, given your knowledge of possible allergic reactions of the baby to the material. It is better to buy natural fabric, rather than synthetics, as from it the least harm the skin. You can turn your attention to cotton, linen, cotton, flannel.
The first rule when choosing a material is naturalness and degree of environmental friendliness.
To purchase a filler, you should purchase fabric from natural fiber only.
Stage Pattern
After preparing the necessary raw materials begin to cut. You will need to perform the following steps, step by step, to prevent some defects.
- Carefully measure the size of the crib, pick up the height (so convenient to install in the bed).
- On paper for pattern (graph paper, tracing paper, and you can use plain paper or a newspaper) to draw the desired dimensions of the future pillows.
- We lay out the fabric, strictly cut out on the pattern.
Pattern sides in the crib.
- Using a sewing machine, sew a few stitches, leaving a cut.
- Unscrew the cushions through the not stitched seam.
- Inside insert synthetic winterizer.
- Get stuck last edge.
If the sides have a small height, the child will be constantly in sight, which will allow the mother to remain calm for his condition.
The sides of the pillow are ready! At will, you can sew various products: lace, buttons, ribbons, ruffles, as well as decorate with inscriptions, drawings.
High options will be useful for older children, as they are restless and more independent.
Border with a pattern
Borders with a picture preferred by many parents. They have other purposes besides security.
Side pillows can be used in the future, for example, as toys.
Slightly grown children (aged 2 to 4 years old) consider these same drawings and inscriptions. For a little man, this seems like an interesting exercise.
They will be the perfect complement to the sofa or just soft cushions for sitting the child on the floor.
Borders with a pattern chosen, starting from the floor of the baby. If the girl - drawings in the form of fairies, mermaids, teddy bears, cats and other different characters.
If the bed has nowhere to put, except near the window, the sides are required to be used.
Preferred colors - shades of peach, plum, raspberry, olive and others.
Bright pictures help to distract the child while the mother is busy.
For boys, it is customary to choose other images: anchors, boats, cars, characters from cartoons.
The side can be made a full-fledged decorating detail, performed in any style you like.
Colors range from yellow to blue.
The style is chosen taking into account the sex and age of the child.
If you wish to paint on the fabric yourself, and you want your sketches to become special for the baby, we remember it pleasant, then you can buy special harmless paints for creativity. You can buy them in any store of household chemicals.
On homemade pillows it is harder to make an interesting pattern.
Borders "Fence"
Fences are suitable for placement in absolutely any bed.
While the child is very small, it must be protected from drafts, accidental hitting of the arms and legs between the bars of the crib and from impacts.
- The sides soften the fall on the bed.
- Protection from wind blows, bright sunlight (if the daytime sleep).
- Comfortable situation in terms of psychology.
- The child will fall asleep faster, will not be greatly distracted by what is happening around him (the side fences close the view).
- If on the pads there are various applications, images in the form of animals, then they perform the function of familiarizing the baby with the outside world.
- Bumpers prevent the fall of various toys, "dummies" needed by the child.
Choose only environmentally friendly canvases that have the ability to "breathe."
Pigtail
The sides of the "spit" make your own the easiest! The costs are minimal: you need to buy only soft, good fabric (for example, velor).
No matter how good a synthetic fiber fabric is, it can never be compared to a natural one.
Weaving technique is also quite simple. First, you should sew long fabric bags, fill them with foam rubber, padding polyester, or any other filler. The final stage will be tying braids.
For fabrics, density is important for protection from cold and durability, because young children love to feel and examine all the objects around.
Wash pillows
All mothers who purchase bumpers in a bed are worried about the question: “how can they be washed?” In fact, everything is simple. It should be washed as it gets dirty. For example, there are some specks.There are cases when the filler is crumpled, because the child is very active. Here, too, need to wash.
Before you cut the fabric, you will need to wash and iron it.
Experienced parents, and doctors, are advised to rinse no less than two months: all sorts of bacteria are collected, dust accumulates, which is not harmless to a baby.
For convenience, the strings are complemented with velcro, which will allow them to be removed more quickly and put in place.
For high-quality washing you need to follow some rules.
- So that the product does not lose its shape, the water temperature should be no more than 40 degrees.
- Carefully pick up the detergent, using it in the smallest quantities, because its "crystals" can be kept in the upholstery.
- The delicate or manual mode, minimize the number of revolutions of the spin.
You can arrange the soft elements of the bed in accordance with the favorite cartoon of the child or a fairy tale character.
Drying
Drying should be neatly on a horizontal surface. Under the product, you can put cotton fabric. After the evaporation of the main moisture, hang out in fresh air.
It is enough to fantasize a little, find out from the child what he likes most, and sew together a suitable side for his bed.
Ironing
After the procedure of washing, drying, you can immediately install the bumpers in the crib. But if you want to iron them with iron, then you should do it at low temperature conditions.
The sides to the crib are not only decoration, but also a functional accessory that complements the sleeper of the baby.
Important! In no event it is impossible to steam off! Sintepon or foam rubber can melt, which will lead to damage to the product!
