We have wool diaper cover for nighttime (AMAZING!) even in Texas where it's hot it's the perfect solution for my extreme heavy wetter
so that's why I started researching the pillow material when I started looking for one.
tbh I'm not in a rush to get her a pillow, but she's got her first cold and we needed to elevate the mattress a bit to help with drainage and she's rolling all around like it's a rollercoaster. I thought if we can get her a pillow maybe she'd stay on it? I know it may take a couple of weeks to get her used to it.
I've done way too much research about materials in the cot and babies and diapers. We're all cloth and chem free disposables when we're out and about/vacation. and now the he,p/organic cotton fitted diapers at night with wool soaker covers.
I figure the thing she keeps her precious head on should be natural as well
Wool would be my choice, aside from the washing. And with this horrible sold she coughed so hard last night in the middle of the night she threw up all over me (when I went in to comfort/pd) and her sheet/cot/sleep sack. Total disaster - poor dear.
That took almost an hour of cleanup and calm down to get her back to sleep. I was thinking about what a disaster a non washable pillow would have been!
If I had a thick cover made for it that was washable, would that work? or , would that just defeat the purpose seeing as how the material in the pillow would then be so far away from her it's anti-microbial and wicking properties irrelevant. Meh?
Thoughts?
I'm tired of sleep problems, so I thought I'd shift to pillow research for a bit.
dh and I have decided to get a new bed for ourselves for Christmas so I'm going to surprise him with new pillows for us too - double duty research!
tee hee
