Many nurseries and playrooms contain a sheepskin rug – available in a variety of neutral colours and styles and giving a timeless look to the room, they are becoming an increasingly popular choice for parents. However, can a sheepskin rug bene t a baby in other ways? We ’ ve put together some information explaining how and why some parents choose to incorporate sheepskin rugs into their baby ’ s nursery, bedroom or play area. We often hear that sheepskin rugs are used for tummy time. This is because the dense pile of bres make it a supportive and comfortable material. Tummy time is fundamental for the development of neck and shoulder muscles in addition to the promotion of improved motor skills. Eventually, regular tummy time on an appropriate material leads to your baby building up strength for rolling, sitting and crawling. Sheepskin is well suited to tummy time – super soft and super supportive and of course all natural Sheepskin redistributes weight evenly relieving pressure and at the same time helping to regulate temperature. The leads some parents (particularly of older children who are able to roll unassisted) to choose sheepskin for sleep. We have a separate blog here relating to sleeping on sheepskin and of course always recommend parents look at the advice and research of the lullaby trust. For toddlers, sheepskin rugs are a great idea for playtime. The lanolin in the bres make it very comfortable and moisturising, with no harshness on the skin. The microbes in sheepskin are also thought to have health bene ts – studies have suggested that babies who spend time on sheepskin are less likely to develop allergies and asthma. Sheepskin is also re retardant, a great safety bene t and no fear of catching light near those cozy open res. Parents feel that sheepskin rugs are also a great practical choice since they require very little upkeep. They have naturally antimicrobial and antibacterial properties which means that they don ’ t need to be washed frequently. We hope that you have learned something about the ways in which sheepskin pram liners can bene t little ones and can be a fantastic addition to the nursery.
