There are several kinds of mats that are better for your baby.
Asian mat: It is processed. Relatively cold. It can be washed and ironed. It is also very convenient for the baby to wash after repeated urination. Very suitable for babies 0-6 months.
Valerian: It is a natural herb woven, which is cooler than the mat grass, but no bamboo silk. Suitable for babies over 6 months. Occasional broken thorns, but less spurs and very soft, will not hurt the baby. The disadvantage is that it is easy to break if it is often wet.
Bamboo silk mat: It is also a natural plant weaving, the coolest one, also washable, can be brushed. Fat baby is especially suitable.
More than 8 months baby is more suitable. There is also a straw mat, which is characterized by soft texture, good water absorption and moderate cooling. It is an ideal baby mat.
How to choose a mat:
Test: The size of the mat is strictly according to the size of the bed. It should be narrow and not wide. Otherwise, the mat will be easily damaged because it is too wide to expose the bed.
Look: See if the color is uniform, light green or bright yellow. Then level the surface to see if the weave is tight and even. If the weaving is not tight, the thickness is uneven, it is easy to expose the ribs and loose edges, causing breakage and damage, which affects the service life. See if there are black, mildew, wormholes, burrs or withered yellow grass, and some indicate that the mat is of poor quality.
Touch: Try to feel whether the surface feels smooth and the corners are neat and tidy.
Smell: Fresh materials, new products prepared in the same year have a natural fragrance. Whether it is bamboo mats, straw mats, or rattan seats, it should be fragrant but without special smell. When I arrived in the summer, I couldn’t wait to appear in Pengcheng. Hurry and buy a cool and healthy mat for your home.
Also pay attention to the baby's mat
Because the baby's skin is thin and tender, the resistance is poor, and the ability to adapt to the external environment is weak. If the mat is improperly purchased, the baby may have symptoms such as diarrhea and cold, which may affect the health of the body.
Choose a mat to ensure that the mat is soft, smooth and of the right size. For example, the straw mat is more suitable for the baby, the straw mat is soft, the water absorption performance is good, and the cooling degree is moderate. Secondly, the mat that you bought back should be disinfected to prevent your baby's skin allergies. It can be scrubbed first with a damp cloth, then placed in a well ventilated place. Because the ultraviolet light in the sun has a certain bactericidal power, the mat can be exposed to sunlight for 6 hours to achieve the purpose of disinfection. Always flip when you are exposed to the sun, so that all faces can be directly exposed to sunlight. Also be careful not to let the baby sleep directly on the mat, and use a sheet or towel to be placed on the mat to prevent the baby from getting cold.
Experts especially reminded that when the baby wets the bed, it is necessary to clean the mat in time and dry it in a ventilated place before reuse. Some little babies use a mat to start rashes for a long time. They are allergic to mat materials and mites. In general, the use of straw mats is prone to allergies, while the use of bamboo mats produces less allergies. In addition, because of the damp weather, aphids may breed on the mat, and the aphids release toxins during the bite of the human skin, and the toxins cause allergies.
So, how to prevent "sand dermatitis"? When choosing a mat, try to choose a fine bamboo mat. Because the straw mat is prone to mites, and the mat is itself an allergen. In addition, keep the mat clean. Because people are prone to sweating during the summer, dander and dust can easily invade the gaps in the mat, and the hot and humid environment provides a favorable environment for breeding aphids. Therefore, before using the mat for the first time each year, you can use hot water to wash the mat, then put it in the sun for exposure, so that the aphids and their eggs that are invisible to the naked eye can be killed. The baby can rest assured that the mat is used.
