Committing Yourself on Seemly Newborn Crib Sheets For Your Nursery

By Dorothea Frankson

When purchasing things for a new born, some parents ignore the significance of good nursery bedding. Parents shopping for baby bedding can be bewildered by the variety of styles and materials, not to mention the sheer number of items. Don't be distracted by designer names or attractive styles - bedding the most important part of the nursery and it's necessary for your baby's health and well-being.

Crib and bedding should provide warmth, comfort and cleanliness. Neither baby nor parents should suffer interrupted sleep because baby is restless and uncomfortable from bedding that is too warm or not warm enough. Before your child is exposed to a newly purchased baby blanket or bedding, wash them all with special baby detergents to eliminate any sprays or chemical that could harm your child.

Baby boy bedding sets are a tempting alternative for a lot of items that you would require for baby's crib such as bumper par or crib sheets. You can buy almost all necessary items in matching designs at cheaper prices. Choose crib bedding that's cozy and warm so that your baby feels like he's being held even when he's in his crib.

Care should be taken not to purchase a set with many unnecessary items because this can be uneconomical--you want to be absolutely sure that you're getting your money's worth. Decorative frills and ribbons look nice, but can you live with the hazard they pose to your baby and very young children? Decorative items such as pillows should not be placed in an infant's crib. Unnecessary items in the crib not only appose a choking hazard but can increase the risk of suffocation and SIDS.

Comfort, simplicity, tradition and value are found in many economical fabric and bedding sets. Most parents find that a few high-quality fitted crib sheets are sufficient for their needs, while extra quilts and blankets aren't needed. Cotton is an excellent material for all seasons, being cool and breathable in summer and warm in the cooler months.

A layer of fleece between the mattress and the crib sheet can provide extra warmth in cold climates. Be careful to choose gender-neutral colors and patterns if you don't know your baby's sex yet; otherwise, your little boy may have to bed down among pink and purple hearts, or your baby girl may have to dream sweetly in a nautical-themed crib set. - 30525
