Keeping the baby cool by using breathable fabric at places where fabrics contacts the baby's skin: lower inside part (one third down) of the head bumper, fitted sheet, receiving blanket or quilt.

Note: To reduce infant death symrome, do not place thick, puffy comforter or pillow in baby's bed.

Best fabrics for baby's bedding: natural fiber or fiber blend such as 100% cotton, cotton blend (at least 40% cotton blend with polyester or ryon), 100% silk, silk blend with polyester or ryon. Look for chenille, matelasse, Egyptian cotton, 100% cotton velvet, wool or wool blend, sateen or cotton blend satin.

Stay away from nylon faux fur faux suede.

Manufacturers should disclose fiber content of the materials used in baby crib linen. If they do not mention it, chances are they use low quality materials, even though it's compliant with laws.

Best quilts for babies are those made of 100% silk or cotton fabrics on the outside (shells) and 100% cotton and wool or wool blend for the filling (or batting).
