I use a waterproof pad on my bed at night when I breastfeed. However, the pad I use causes my baby to sweat.Any thoughts on if this might work better?

The fabric is thinner than those pads, it would probably work. I use it to change him and lay him on the bed if needed.

Not sure since we use this as a changing pad for baby and toddler. It is absorbent, soft, and large wnough for the job. I'd give it a try and if not you're not wasting money because it is a great pad.

I have only used for diaper changes so I don't know if the baby is lying on it for long if that could be too warm. I love this pad though. It's softer than other ones I've tried. Also I have some Burp clothes by them and the polka dot design helps me spot them on the bed. With white sheets it's difficult to find the solid white Burp clothes!

This is thin so it might help. It also does not feel like plastic on the back side. You might try this one or the Carter's rubber backed flannel puddle pads. I used something like this, but I was breastfeeding in the winter and we wanted the extra warmth, (American Baby Company Organic Cotton Quilted Waterproof Sheet Saver, Natural).

I don't have a temperpedic (but my mattress does have a layer of memory foam) but I don't believe this pad is a "thermal" as you described. This pad was designed to breath...not sure how they do that considering it is supposed to be water proof. I'm laying on it now reading and I can feel it warm up, so there is some transfer of body heat. However, it doesn't make me hot and uncomfortable and I run hot sleeping. The sides are a mesh fabric...probably where it gets its air from. It is relatively inexpensive so I would probably give it a try and return it if you are unhappy with the purchase. If you are using Prime the return is free if you drive it to the delivery service it was delivered to you from...UPS or USPS. I've done it several times and never had a problem. I haven't washed it yet so I don't know how it will hold up but it seems nicely made. Good luck to you.

I purchased the summer infant contour pad from Amazon. It works perfectly with this pad. It's also waterproof.

I was told it is the most Eco friendly of all waterproof pads by The Clean Bedroom. I find it stiff and cold and have been trying to get a good mattress pad to try over it. One that can be washed and dried, not dry cleaned. Not sure what the inner layer is.

The mattress pad is just as good as the day I bought it. We just bought an identical one for another bed in our home. I am not hot sleeping on it, it doesn't have the heat reproducing qualities found in standard foam pads. Hope this helps you in your decision.

It's definitely for breathability. We sent it back because it was incredibly rough. Even with a sheet over it it was so rough feeling & we would not have our baby sleep on that. If you want cushioning I would go with a quilted mattress pad or a blanket under the sheet. Really anything but this.

Not due to heater, but I have to say that the material made me hot. I put it on the bed this year without plugging it in because the plushness of the pad feels so nice, but I woke up with whatever side was making contact with the bed all sweaty. This happened every night for a week before I took it off and then I didn't sweat anymore. It is really plush and nice, but I guess it doesn't breathe very well. Everyone is different though, and this is just my experience. It might be fine for you.

Yes. My twins have slept on their tummies and the sensor never left contact with their skin. You don't have to worry about it coming off and you not knowing, because if it loses contact with their stomach the alarm will sound. That only happened once to us while one of my babies was on his side. I highly recommend these monitors. I've been using over a month now for my preemie twins and have not had one problem!

We put it under a sheepskin. The company does not recommend using with foam. Great company, you can call and chat with them. I recommend the mattress pad style for just sleeping. My friend has purchased three styles of this product and both she and I are very pleased with how our body aches are greatly reduced and sleep much improved.

It is safe and it is waterproof also. but I still recommend using a mattress pad and crib sheet. Nothing is too good for a precious newborn baby! tthing is

I would definitely recommend the mattress cover even though the mattress is waterproof. In fact, I would get 2 of them; one to wash and one to use. You don't want the mattress smelling like pee for one, and it definitely will if you don't. It will also just be a lot cleaner. I'm all about making less of a mess if I can to have less to clean since there is already so much other cleaning that cannot be avoided. And pee is the cleanest thing that can end up on the mattress! I like to use peroxide in a spray bottle with paper towels when I do clean a waterproof mattress. I like that it doesn't smell and does a good job cleaning. I think it's a safer cleaner compared to say a Clorox wipe. I would recommend the flat one, instead of the fitted, so it will be easier to change. Or if your mattress isn't too heavy, it's really no big deal just to take the entire mattress out to change it so in that case the fitted would be fine too. (But then you have to take the crib bumper off. I actually took mine off since I got tired of taking it off and on all of the time.) Hopefully you have a Naturepedic mattress or other brand that doesn't use fire retardant chemicals to pass the flammability test. I've even read on a natural health doctor's website that when the pee, or other bodily fluids, mix with the fire retardant chemicals, it has a chemical reaction that makes an odorless gas that can cause SIDS.

Because reviews are mixed in regard whether the bedpad is waterproof or not, i would not trust it. I do not own one, but I recently purchased a new bed and that cover was offered as part of the package. I declined to have it, but I was shown a sample and the waterproof element was demonstrated. From what I could surmise, the pad may indeed be waterproof, but with use, it may develop random weaknesses and allow liquid to pass through. My suggestion would be to purchase some waterproof underpads (often sold for incontinent patients) for the bed, and place a pad or two UNDERNEATH the 'waterproof' mattress pad. That way you would have a little extra insurance against a 'pee bed'. The pads would last a long time I would think. You could also fold a shower curtain or plastic table cover to the appropriate size needed and use that under the pad... you can get the thin cheap ones at the dollar store.

I have not used the Dream on Me Foam pad but I can say that the bassinet pad is NOT foam and I would have rather had foam than the terrible plasticy thing I had that left my baby's back side covered in sweat since it didn't breathe at all. I would try the Dream on Me Foam pad if I were you.

Absolutely not. This is really expensive, and waterproof mattresses wipe right off. Also, anything fitted isn't very fast or easy to put on or off a crib mattress when it's in a crib. Much easier to clean the mattress itself. Also, this pad isn't really padded.

I live in Hawaii and I love my organic carrier. I choose it over airflow because it is softer and more comfortable. It is not hotter than to have your baby in the stroller. I have noticed that it can be more sweating in area where my baby touches me then in baby-carrier area. You can loosen the carrier and put your hands in between carrier and your baby's back to let air flow from time to time. It works perfectly for us. Love it!

Not in my experience. It does not make my kids any hotter than they would be sitting in their car seats without it in there, even in the summer. I've never noticed either of them being sweatier in the areas that are in contact with the piddle pad, and my oldest (who could actually tell me if he is uncomfortable) has never complained. (I live in Texas, where it is hot more often than not, so I definitely would have noticed if this was a problem.)
