Before You Get A Baby Bedding Set: Planning Your Nursery

No nursery can be complete without a crib, and no crib can be complete without the right crib bedding. If you know what style of crib you want, try looking online to find it. You may find that the crib set you like is completely different from the one your husband chooses. And don’t forget, baby bedding can get very expensive. For high end bedding sets, you can end up paying more for the bedding than for the crib! To make things easier on yourself, decide on the style of bedding you want and how much you’re willing to pay, before you ever start shopping.

If you’re planning on having more children, it makes sense to think ahead. For example, a baby girl will probably mean that you want girl baby bedding, adorned with lace and embroidery, or the adorable a Pixie Stix 4 piece crib set. But you’re not guaranteed to have another girl, and that girly baby bedding is not going to look so great in a boy’s nursery. Considering how much you’ll be spending on a crib set, unless you have a big budget, it’s much smarter to pick a gender neutral bedding set that you can use again and again. A bedding set can cost upwards of $1000, so set a budget before you start and stick to it. Ignore any bedding that is out of your budget. Your baby is going to treat her bedding the same no matter how much it costs, so why exactly are you spending that extra money?

Because of the limitations of size and geography, “real world” stores can’t specialize the way an online store can – which means they also can’t offer the selection of an ecommerce site. When you’re looking for a particular brand, it really makes sense to go online. Physical stores often carry only one brand, and it’s very likely it won’t be the one you’re looking for. With reduced overhead costs and highly specialized product lines, online store can often beat offline retailers on price, too.

Buying bedding online does comes with some drawbacks, though. The most obvious one is that you can’t pick up or feel anything. That means when you find a bedding set that looks soft and cuddly, you can’t really be sure until you buy it. There is just no way for an online retailer to mimic the effect of putting your hands on the bedding set and feeling it for yourself. You might want to look online for baby bedding ideas, but you should be aware that the range of choices is staggering and you may get overwhelmed by too many options. Try to have a general idea of what you want and how much you want to spend before you start looking.

Safety Pays: Selecting the Optimal Baby Bedding

Shopping online for baby bedding brings a vast selection. This can be great when you know what you want and you’re just trying to find it. But if you haven’t already got a clear picture of what you’re looking for, shopping online can actually confuse you even more. Looking for animal designs? You can find anything and everything – from caterpillar crib bedding to mystical creatures. Or maybe you’re looking for angels? There are well over a hundred unique options. And if you want nursery rhymes or cartoon characters, put aside a couple of weeks just to browse!

Whether it’s baby boy crib bedding or baby girl, you might be tempted to buy everything you can afford – after all, they’re all so darn cute! It’s natural to want a beautiful room for your baby, but don’t let looks overshadow more important concerns. So here are a few suggestions for things your baby will need:

– You may think bumper pads are a given, but there is a growing concern that they are actually harmful. The idea behind a crib bumper is to protect baby from the hard bars of the crib, but if the bumper comes loose it may cause suffocation. To be safe, it’s best to just keep bumpers out of the crib altogether, or at least until your baby reaches birthday number one. If you decide to keep them in anyway, make sure the ties are on the outside of the crib and very securely tied.

– The term “crib sheet” refers only to the fitted sheet, because flat sheets are unnecessary (and potentially dangerous) for newborns. When buying crib sheets, make sure they fit your mattress properly. If they are too big or too small, they may come free from the mattress and pose a suffocation risk. Think about buying a waterproof mattress cover, because babies are messy creatures! And avoid white sheets, they’re really not a good idea.

– Loose blankets are a safety hazard for babies under one, so stick to sleep sacks or warm pajamas instead. Stuffed animals and pillows are dangerous so take them out of the crib.

When selecting baby bedding, safety comes first. Cute bedding is nice, but it’s of no use at all if it’s not safe.

Novel Newborn Boy Crib Sheets – Utilitarian Suggestion for Parents

Knowing the gender of your unborn child will make it easier to customize  the nursery accordingly. You should decorate the nursery with special baby bedding to match the new exceptional baby boy in your life. There are many styles of bedding that will allow you to create a fantastically styled child’s room.

A good starting point, since you already know you’ll be having a boy, is to choose appropriate male or gender-neutral colors for the sheets and bedding sets that are out there. It’s crucial for your baby’s health that you choose safe bedding; if you don’t, your baby is at risk for a variety of problems that you’d rather avoid.

If the bedding you buy for your infant is too soft, your child could suffocate in it if it gets caught, you can never be too careful as a parent, and purchasing the right bedding is of the utmost importance. Even though the bedding is cozy and comfortable, it can be very dangerous for young, fragile babies unable to get themselves out of it any danger it can cause. They also cannot know whether danger exists or not, so it’s up to you as the child’s parents to determine what threat, if any, comes from the baby bedding.

It is very easy to make sure that your bed is not too soft for your baby to rest on because the only thing to do is make the bedding strong enough to not deflate when the baby is on it. It has been reported that crib bumpers could be one cause of suffocation as baby tends to roll over which could lead to the fabric catching baby’s nose and mouth, therefore, we do not recommend them. Remove the soft materials from the crib for six months at least. You can use a sleep-sack or a wearable blanket instead of a quilt.

Recently some moms and dads have started to worry about the possibility of chemicals in traditional crib bedding and mattresses that could be detrimental to the baby. It is feared that the chemicals cause Sudden Infant Death Syndrome(SIDS). If you have the money, the best way to go is organic bedding and an organic mattress.

Once the safety of the child’s baby bedding has been ascertained then the unlimited factors of fun and creative designing can be explored for bedding for babies. There are some really cute baby boy bedding themes available, including cars and trucks, as well as airplane baby bedding. Bold geometric designs with modern crib bedding accommodate the male gender.

Generally a blue-brown combination is suited for boys, but a little planning can make many other combinations too. After you have taken every safety precaution for your baby and have selected his bedding, his nursery will become a classy and unique work of art that will give him a special place of his own to dream and grow, while providing you with peace of mind.

Infant Crib Sheets: Crib Safeness is a Serious Matter

This is a use and throw culture. But certain things connected with baby, we want to hold. During pregnancy, many people will offer their old nursery furniture and crib bedding. Since babies are a costly undertaking, be thankful for this selection of cribs and bedding for infants. You must ensure, nevertheless, that the bedding and crib that you will use for your baby are safe before you put your baby in them.

Whatever you decide, a Moses basket or crib, the first bed belonging to your baby will no doubt be something special and a keepsake. If someone has been kind enough to give you their crib you will most likely want to clean it up and perhaps repaint it.  It is a good idea to check the safety of the crib while you are in the process of refinishing it. Look closely at the baby bedding and crib that you have received to make sure that they are safe, even if the appear to be new. If the cradle is of wicker, check up the joints and remove any loose things. The mattress must be replaced as it would have definitely become bad. Babies like to put things in their mouth, so be sure that no loose ends or pieces of material are left over when fitting the skirt.

When you are putting up new drapes, check to see that there are no loose threads or dangling material that a baby might be able to get a hold of and put in his/her mouth. It is suggested by the Juvenile Products Manufacturer’s Association (JPMA) in America, and also by and British Standards (BS) in the United Kingdom, that you should not use old blankets and baby furniture if you can possibly replace them. Purchase new bed goods for your child’s safety. Look out for products which either display JPMA seal of approval or the BS ‘Kite’ mark, as they have been tested painstakingly to meet all the safety regulations.

Secondhand items are perfectly reasonable as long as you’re sure that the items are safe.  It’s always a good idea to recycle, even items like nursery furniture and baby bedding. Spending the time and effort to ensure that your little one is safe in his crib is paramount as he will be spending quite a bit of time unsupervised, so doing the proper checks of his crib is of the utmost importance. To maximize safety in your baby’s bedding, follow these points. The most important issue is that of paint, check for lead paint, and any chipped or peeling pieces and that the surface is smooth to the touch to prevent baby’s clothes from catching. Make sure you purchase a crib where the bars are extremely close together, (closer than 2 & 3/8 inches apart), and there are no holes anywhere, to protect your baby’s head. If your crib wobbles you must check the joints and fixings to assure that they are tightened. You will want to make sure the side rail can be lowered or raised using one hand and when it is all the way up is is securely in place. Last, the mattress should be clean and not too soft, and be sure that the side rail is no lower than 22 inches above the crib mattress.

I will always buy a new, snug fit mattress for a new baby. Nursery bedding may cause babies to suffocate, so you have to be careful to tie the strings of the bumper tightly or don’t use a bumper at all. Babies under the age of 12 months should not have access to the following in their cribs:  duvets, quilts, sheepskin or pillows, while use of these items could cause overheating. Blankets and sheets with a good thermometer in the babies room will help assure comfort. Babies can climb much better than a lot of people think.  That is why to ensure safety, you should never put their crib next to cords, lamps, window blinds/curtains or furniture.

Always remember to enjoy every moment with your baby, they grow up before you even realize it.
