THE BABY BUYING GUIDE — Episode: How to keep babies cool during summer sleep using breathable bassinet sheetsSummer nights bring new worries: is baby too hot? Are my sheets safe?

We also cover when to splurge (quality fitted sheets, certified fabrics) and where to save (extra sheet sets, non-essential accessories), plus a few registry picks for different budgets.Whether you’re building a registry or wondering if that "cooling" bassinet sheet is worth the price, this episode helps you make calm, practical choices that keep baby comfortable and safe on hot summer nights.
