Baby Bedding Guide

I love baby bedding, and I’m not just saying that. Bedding is one of the most important things for baby. Why? Because the bedding for your baby is a lot like a second womb for them. It is a safe place for them to rest and grow. No one wants their baby to get sick or catch a cold, so bedding it always something that should be looked at long and hard. Yeah, bedding is a big deal.

On a functional note, it is a good idea to really know what you are getting into as far as bedding goes. You have to take several factors into account when shopping for the right baby bedding. As new parents there are a few things you might not have thought of. Fear not though, we are here to help you out.

You need to start thinking multiple sets of baby bedding. This is important when you consider that you would be looking at several sheet changes a day sometimes. This might or might not happen, but like the Boyscouts, you should be prepared.

Make sure your sheets are plastic coated as well. Even if they are buy some rubber or plastic liners. This will save you a lot of trouble on clean up later, for spills and um, leaks. These can often be rinsed right off, which is much preferred to breaking out a small mattress and trying to rinse that down.

Temperature weighs in pretty heavy on making a choice with baby bedding as well. You should really consider the weather. Even if it is normally warm in your house, a small draft you don’t notice could be a huge wind to your baby. By the same token, in cooler weather, stick with cotton and shy away from the flannels some.

Matching is important to some people. Who wants their baby to look like a hobo or some sort of infant riff raff? Here’s is a thought though, if you have a themed nursery, stick with it on your bedding as well (duh) but also think about all of your bedding being able to be mixed and matched. This way you can just replace parts as you go.

Finally we’re down to the nitty-gritty and have to discuss matching furniture. If you decide that absolutely everything has to match then by all means feel free. Just remember that at least once or twice out of the week they will not. Again this goes to the theme of your nursery. If you do decide this is a have to, stick with solids and save yourself some hassle. Nothing is worse than a Tigger room with Sponge Bob sheets. Perhaps discussing this with people before the shower is a good idea. Yup.

So remember when thinking about baby bedding to think over functionality first then think about what you need as far as design goes and finish up by being prepared with extras. Realistically, baby honestly won’t care. But your friends will say things like “awww” a lot and that makes everyone happy. Buying baby bedding can be a journey, but it doesn’t have to be a long and hard one.
