Avoid putting a boppy pillow in a bassinet
Yes, you can wash a boppy pillow. However, you must be careful and use safe detergents. The pillow may get lumpy when it is washed. So, make sure to put it in a pillow protector before washing it. This way, you can protect your baby’s pillow.
Boppy pillows are a popular baby item among new parents and are useful for providing support during feeding times. However, many people have questions about whether they are safe to use in a bassinet. In order to answer this question, we have outlined some of the most important reasons why you should not put a Boppy pillow in a bassinet.
First of all, babies do not have the strength to sit upright without assistance, so they can easily bury their faces in a Boppy pillow. The pillow can also lead to suffocation. During the first several months, newborns will gain their hip strength, but they need plenty of practice to sit up on their own. Until this point, a Boppy pillow can provide additional support and help an infant catch themselves on the floor if they fall.
Using a pillow protector with a boppy pillow
Using a pillow protector with your Boppy pillow will help to reduce the amount of times you have to wash it. It will also keep liquid from seeping inside the pillow, which will prolong the life of your pillow. Using a pillow protector will also help you to wash your pillow cover without having to toss in the pillow insert.
To protect your pillow, you can wash it at a gentle cycle. A detergent with no fragrance will work best. Avoid using bleach, as it can cause harm to baby’s skin. If you notice any odor, you can add baking soda or white vinegar to neutralize it. The vinegar will remove a musty smell, too.
Cleaning a boppy lounger
It is important to keep your baby’s boppy lounger clean and hygienic. Since the lounger is made from breathable fabric, it is easy to wipe it down and it can also be machine-washed. You can also use antimicrobial sprays if necessary.
The best way to clean your boppy lounger is to use a washing soda solution. Shake the solution well before use and spray it on the lounger. Allow the solution to soak in for a while, then wipe off with a soft cloth. Repeat this process until the lounger is free of stains and odors.
