Is it okay to make babies sleep on a dry sheet to prevent bedding leaks? Will it cause heat?

Moms say dry sheets can trap heat if directly under baby. A common workaround is placing the dry sheet under the bedsheet to avoid direct contact.

   Put the dry sheet under the bedsheet — that way baby won't feel the texture/heat directly.

2. 2

   Keeping it directly under the baby can cause more heat to the body.

   My 3.5-month-old sleeps in a baby lounger bed placed in the centre of our bed. Whatever works for you, bassinet, crib or bed, you and baby should be comfortable.

   My baby sleeps comfortably in bed with us, but while co-sleeping you must be careful of your body posture and avoid extra bedding near the baby. Keep checking and keep a dim light on.

   Babies need a firm/hard sleep surface; a regular soft bed may not be hard enough.

   For mosquitoes when sleeping directly on the bed, stick a mosquito sticker on his clothes and keep the fan on high so mosquitoes can't fly.
