Baby Bedding Sets

Buying cute items for your baby is one of the most fun parts of being pregnant and waiting for your baby to join you in the world. Clothing items are cute, but one of the most fun things to buy would be the baby bedding sets that you want to use in your baby's crib. These come with many parts and pieces, and some should be used right away, and some should wait. Make sure you get the right set with the look you love, and don't forget to buy some extras to go with it, as you will need more than what you get in just one set. Some people buy two or three sets and mix and match. Do what you want and what you can afford.

Some people like to get baby bedding sets after they know the sex of the baby. For girls, these sets can be more than just a bunch of pink stuff, but if you want to keep in simple, one colored sets are a great idea. However, there are many colors that are popular for baby girls that include colors like fuchsia and purples, bright blues as accents, and even some yellows and greens. These have themes like lady bugs, bunnies, butterflies, and anything else that reminds you of a little girl. Girl sets are more plentiful than boys items, so shop around. You will find something that you love.

When it comes to boys baby bedding sets, you can again go with something simple and get something all in shades of blue. You can also find sets that are a bit more colorful without having to commit to one of the themes out there like airplanes, dinosaurs, or trains if you don't want to do that. Boys sets are not quite as plentiful as girl sets, but there are plenty of great ideas out there. If you don't find something that you like you can look online for great choices. You can also go with something neutral that can be for a boy or girl, which works for both sexes either known or if you are waiting to find out when your baby is born.

With both boy and girls sets, make sure you buy extra fitted sheets that fit the crib mattress, as you will change these quite often. The sheets are going to get dirty awfully fast as most babies wet through or spit up a few times a day no matter how attentive you may be to their needs. Some people buy white sheets or these come with baby bedding sets, but they are hard to keep clean. You  probably don't want to use bleach on something your baby will be sleeping on quite often. Instead, get colors that match your sets and keep enough on hand so that you can change a few times in between laundry times.

One thing you want to take out of most baby bedding sets would be the bumper. Don't throw it away, because you can use it later, but these are dangerous for young babies. As you know, SIDS is often caused by baby getting his or her head in a position where they can not breathe and they can not roll away. Bumpers in baby bedding sets can be problematic. Do not put a bumper on your baby's crib until they are one year old or until your doctor says that it is okay. They look great, but can be very dangerous for your baby at a young age. You can store them away and use them later.
