Baby Bedding

As with any purchase you make for your baby, comfort and safety are primary concerns when it comes to crib bedding. Your baby bedding should be comfortable and good quality, but not slippery or hard to clean. If the material feels soft and comfortable to you, it’s probably a good choice for your baby’s sensitive skin. Your crib bedding sheets shouldn’t compromise on materials, either. You want something that’s washable, but that doesn’t require harsh cleaning with bleach or chemicals.

Style-wise, baby bedding comes in just about every cute pattern and color combination you can imagine. For a traditional mix of colors, look for baby girl bedding or baby boy bedding in soft pastel pinks and blues. If you crave something neutral or less traditional, mix up those colors with your favorites or opt for fun patterns. You can find just about any type of pattern nowadays: owl crib bedding, camo baby bedding and chevron baby bedding are some popular choices.

Make sure you purchase at least a few baby bedding sets. You never know when your crib sheets might need a good washing in the middle of the night! Four-piece crib bedding sets typically include a fitted sheet, crib bumper, crib skirt and baby blanket. Six piece sets usually add in a diaper stacker and window valance. If you enjoy a matching style, purchasing one six-piece baby bedding set and extra crib bedding in complementary colors and patterns might be a good place to start. If you prefer to mix and match, look for patterns and colors that go well together — if all of the sets match you can even create your own baby bedding theme.
