A breathable baby mattress pad is a thin layer of material that is placed over your child's crib mattress in order to protect it from liquids, dust mites, and other allergens. The porous fabric allows air to circulate freely through the pad, which prevents moisture from building up and helps keep the mattress clean and free from bacteria.
Breathable pads are made from a variety of materials, including cotton, wool, and latex. They can be machine-washed or hand-washed as needed.
