Crib Bedding Sets and Newborn Care
It only makes sense that when you shop for your baby’s crib, you’ll be looking for bedding, too. Most baby bedding sets include a number of pieces – but do you really need them all? Bare is best when it comes to baby bedding: pediatricians recommend keeping all unnecessary bedding out of the crib. If you’re on a tight budget, you’re much better off spending your money on a few high-quality crib sheets than on a bedding set that can’t be used for much more than decoration.
Suffocation is a serious concern for babies, so remove all soft bedding, including bumper pads and blankets. Most parents worry about their baby getting too cold, but this problem is easily solved with swaddling blankets or a sleep sack. Baby sacks are like sleeping bags for babies, except that they are worn like a vest, with head and arm holes. Swaddling blankets have come a long way, with many mow featuring special fasteners to keep the blanket snug. Swaddling helps some babies sleep better, but others find it constricting and do not like it. You will be holding your baby a lot, so you might still want a blanket or comforter for those times, especially if you’ve had a winter baby. You’ll be fine as long as you remember not to leave the blanket in the crib with the baby.
You might be considering a sleep wedge for your baby. After all, it’s supposed to reduce the risk of SIDS, something most new parents worry about. But young babies are not able to roll over, so if you put them to bed on their backs, they’ll stay on their backs. And by the time they are able to roll onto their tummies, SIDS is no longer such a serious concern. Since foam is a soft material, these wedges could do more harm than good, by contributing to suffocation risks.
Some of the items in a bedding set may not even be bedding – window valances or diaper stackers, for example. These can make the nursery look great, but aren’t necessary if you’re on a budget.
But most parents are going to want a bedding set anyway, just for the look of the nursery. In this case, try gender neutral baby bedding like Versailles Black and White baby bedding. It’s much more cost effective because you can use it again and again, regardless of the sex of your next baby.
