Crib Sets: Bedding Essentials for Children

By Steve Smith


Many parents go to into a decorating frenzy when it comes to setting up a nursery for the greatest gifts in life, their babies. Whilst this isn?t wrong in anyway, it is important not to forget that safety should be considered also. There are a number of ways to ensure the bedding which will be utilised in the nursery is safe, without losing or compromising any style and beauty. Because of this, having a good understanding in relation to baby bedding essentials for children is quite important for parents who will be using a crib for their babies.

In terms of nursery bedding, the type of sheets used is extremely important. It doesn't matter if they are cotton fleece, cotton flannel or high-count woven cotton sheets; the important thing is whether or not the fitted sheet fits the mattress snugly. If the sheet is too loose, baby may work it loose and get tangled up in it. Boy and girl nursery bedding should be washed and placed on the mattress before a child is placed in the crib to sleep. Sheets which are too small can work loose just as easily as sheets which are too big, so always inspect fitted sheets prior to use.

If a nursery sheet is too large and does not fit properly, it may be a good idea to search for something called sheet suspenders or garters. Sheet garters or suspenders are small bits made of elastic which have clips on both sides and work by keeping the sheet anchored to the mattress. Sheets that have been fir properly will decrease the chance that baby will somehow pull the sheets loose while in the crib. These nifty clips are quite handy, especially when fleece or flannel sheets are being used as they do tend to stretch a bit over time.

Bedding essentials for children are the basics which are a must-have in any nursery. These consist of a fitted sheet, a flat sheet and of course a soft and warm blanket. Many bedding sets come complete with a comforter, bumper pads, nappy stackers and some even come with coordinating mobiles. It is nice to have a complete set if baby?s room is going to be decorated in a particular motif, but plain cream, mint green, yellow, pink or blue bedding essentials will work just fine for anyone on a budget. Bedding sets for nurseries are often done in pastels which work well with any d?cor.

With safety in mind, look around at some of your favourite baby shops or online stores. Having a nice nursery sheet set is possible without settling for one that might cause danger to your baby. A great deal of parents find, when shopping online it is ideal to look for a website that caters especially to UK children. The reason for this is that other parts of the world may have different measurements that are not in line with UK cribs. It is possible to use any motif when creating your baby?s bursary but always ensure that safety in terms of bedding essentials for children comes before beauty. The safety of your baby should always be your first concern.
