Sleep plays a crucial role in child development
As nannies we take pride in our work, and it’s our job to ensure the well-being and comfort of the children we care for. Restful sleep is a super important aspect of any child’s day (and night) routine because it’s essential for healthy growth and development.
At Korall's Kids Care, we always emphasise the importance of high-quality (and safe) mattresses for babies and toddlers. Quality sleep means a happy baby, happy parents – and a happy nanny! That’s why we’d like to explain the importance of choosing a good mattress for children of all ages. And why the AeroSleep mattresses tick all the boxes.
"After all, a good night’s sleep means a happy and contented baby".
What makes these mattresses so special?
The AeroSleep mattresses with separate mattress protector are made up of different layers, each performing its own specific function. Thanks to its 3D structure, the mattress allows your baby to breathe properly in any position, even if it happens to be a tummy sleeper! You never have to worry about suffocation because air is constantly circulating. The mattress also has a temperature regulating function to prevent baby overheating. Don’t worry though, it never goes below room temperature. The absorbent, waterproof and protective layer acts as a barrier to keep bacteria and allergens away from your child. It also extends the useful life of the mattress and helps keep your little one dry in case a nappy leaks.
Swaddling for safe and restful sleep
As nannies we know how important it is for the babies we look after to get good quality sleep, and we often notice they sleep much more soundly when they are properly swaddled. That’s because swaddling makes them feel safe and secure.
What we really like about the Puckababy swaddle and sleeping bags is how easy they are to use. There range also includes the perfect sleeping bag for every age, taking into account the specific needs and development of your child. They’re like a super soft cocoon that keeps your little one’s sleep environment at the perfect temperature.
Safe and sound in slumberland
We know the kids we look after are going to sleep safe and sound in a bed with an AeroSleep mattress, snugly tucked into a Puckababy swaddle or sleeping bag, and that gives us peace of mind. At our day nursery we also use AeroSleep mattresses and Puckababy swaddle and sleeping bags. We’ve had such a positive experience of using these products, so we’re always happy to recommend them to all our families!
