Handmade or Personalized Baby Pillow Keepsakes
11/24/08
A custom baby pillow makes an adorable addition to the bedroom of any newborn. A nursing mom will also appreciate this item, as an infant can be propped up with it during feeding. Designing a baby pillow is a wonderful idea if you need a present to bring to a shower or want to make something for your own little one. Personalization makes it a sentimental keepsake that will be treasured for years to come.
A personalized baby pillow can be handmade or bought in a store. If you are crafty, making your own is a relatively easy project to complete. Use your skills in sewing, knitting, embroidery, or applique to create a truly unique item. Purchasing a small pillowcase and transferring words or images onto it from your computer is probably the easiest way to decorate a baby pillow yourself. If you are not up to a handmade creation, you can shop for a custom baby pillow online and simply type in the text that you want to have printed on it.
It might be a good idea to discover what colors or theme the bedroom will be decorated in prior to designing a baby pillow. This way, you can choose materials that will match the decor of the room. Picking neutral colors, on the other hand, means that the baby pillow will go with many different decorating themes.
What type of design do you want to create on the personalized baby pillow? There is a lot of room for creativity here. Including the name of the newborn and information about the birth, like weight, height, and birthday, is a great traditional option for a baby pillow. You could also use a favorite quotation, short poem, or scripture. A simple, yet classy, option is to put just the initials on a baby pillow in script. Sometimes little ones in military families have a stuffed object with a photo of their deployed parent. Finally, the baby pillow could feature an original work of art by an older sibling.
An infant who is less than eighteen months of age should never use a baby pillow unless an adult is closely watching, due to safety concerns. According to experts, soft objects like this are suffocation hazards when they are in cribs or next to sleeping infants. Only a toddler over the age limit should be allowed to sleep with a baby pillow in order to reduce the threat of SIDS.
