Hello all!
Didn’t even think about it until recently but for our second DC due next year I was obviously going to reuse as much as stuff as possible.
Do I need to get a new cot bed mattress/Moses basket mattress/sleepyhead? I was just going to give them a good clean down and perhaps get some new sheets and blanket for the baby particularly when newborn- have other parents done this? All was new for our DC1 and only used by them and in v good condition. I read somewhere that reusing mattresses comes with a slightly increased risk of SIDS although this is reduced for sibling sharing rather than strangers. Obviously smoke and pet free home etc.
Advice gratefully received! We could afford new mattresses at a push if we had to but we aren’t rolling in cash and I’d rather use that money towards other necessary purchases when we need them.
Thanks!
