As a fashion stylist and mom, I founded Natchiketa to marry fine craftsmanship with my deepest desire: to create something both beautiful and meaningful for my family. This vision gave birth to a brand built on three key pillars: luxury, quality, and durability.
Our signature blankets are more than just blankets—they’re heirloom-quality keepsakes. Made from 10 layers of lightweight, organic cotton muslin, they offer unmatched breathability and softness, perfect for creating a safe and cozy sleep environment.
Choosing organic was a deliberate choice for Natchiketa. While cotton is naturally beautiful, conventional farming methods often saturate it with harmful chemicals. At Natchiketa, we prioritize purity and sustainability, crafting blankets that help nurture your family in the most natural way possible.
Why Overheating Is a Concern
Creating a safe sleep environment for your baby is a top priority for every parent. While keeping your little one warm and cozy is important, overheating can be a serious concern. Overheating not only disrupts sleep but can also increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Recognizing the signs early and taking proactive steps ensures your baby stays comfortable and safe.
Signs Your Baby May Be Too Hot
-
Damp or Clammy Skin
If your baby’s skin feels damp, particularly on the back of their neck or chest, it could be a sign they’re overheating. -
Flushed Cheeks
Red or overly warm cheeks may indicate your baby is too hot. -
Rapid Breathing
An unusually fast breathing rate during sleep can be a sign of discomfort caused by overheating. -
Excessive Sweating
Babies don’t sweat as efficiently as adults, so noticeable sweating is a key indicator of overheating. -
Restlessness or Fussiness
While many factors can cause a restless night, overheating may be one of them if combined with other symptoms.
How to Keep Your Baby Comfortable
-
Dress Your Baby Appropriately
Opt for breathable fabrics like organic cotton, and avoid overdressing your baby. A single layer of lightweight sleepwear is often enough. -
Choose the Right Blanket
Use a breathable, lightweight blanket, such as Natchiketa’s organic muslin blankets, to keep your baby warm without trapping excessive heat. -
Monitor the Room Temperature
Experts recommend maintaining a nursery temperature between 68-72°F (20-22°C) for optimal comfort and safety. -
Keep Bedding Minimal
Avoid heavy blankets, quilts, or stuffed animals in the crib. A breathable blanket or sleep sack is ideal for maintaining safe sleep conditions. -
Check Regularly
Feel the back of your baby’s neck or their chest to gauge if they’re too warm. Adjust their clothing or blankets accordingly.
