To protect the bed without an overheating dry sheet, moms suggest a waterproof mattress protector, topped with a thin cotton bedsheet for comfort.
Parents worry that the dry sheet keeping their bed leak-free is leaving their baby hot and sweaty in summer. The community offers a simple fix - a waterproof mattress protector under a soft cotton sheet - that keeps the mattress safe while letting the baby stay cool.
Here's what moms in our community shared based on their own experience.
Use waterproof mattress protectors for your bed instead of a dry sheet.
A mattress protector can feel rough and still needs a sheet over it, so put a small cotton bedsheet over the baby's dry sheet.
