While selecting baby bedding for your nursery you must take into account safety problems, trend of your room, gender, and a prolonged usage. As exciting as setting up an infant’s nursery can be, with a little planning, the room may be designed in a way that is quite suitable for toddlers. Babies don’t stay little for long, so you will appreciate it’s longevity more and more as your baby grows.
Safety is the most important thing when you are deciding on baby bedding. A firm mattress, without pillow quilting, and a fitted sheet are musts. For convenience, you’ll appreciate using fitted mattress sheets. This will help avoid your baby getting entangled or suffocated. A waterproof pad underneath the sheets is a must in order to protect the mattress from wet accidents.
For your baby’s safety, you should avoid using a pillow or quilt, no matter how cute, until your baby is well over the age of one. Forget about buying your infant expensive pillows and comforters. Avoid blankets altogether. Since you will not need these until your child is older, don’t spend the cash now; later, when it becomes necessary, you can figure out what to purchase. When choosing a comforter for your child’s bedding, get a duvet cover, too. It’ll make washing much easier.
Although crib bumpers are of limited usefulness, they usually form a part of a babies bedding set. While the crib bumper will protect your child from banging into the end of the crib or from some drafts, it will present a risk of suffocation or entrapment.
If you know that you’re going to have a boy, then you can feel free to buy baby boy beding. Stay away from styles that are too specific to a newborn; you will likely regret your choices in two or three years when you have to redecorate the whole nursery for a growing child.
While many parents buy other bedding materials, the bare minimum that you have to have is a firm mattress, crib sheet, and some warm pajamas for your infant.
