Baby bedding should always be chosen for its practical factor as well as its “cuteness level.” Plastic mattress covers are handy for quick clean up of big messes- and with a baby around, there will always be big messes!
It’s important to have several sets of baby bedding for those days when you’ve got two sets in the laundry and the third set falls victim to a little accident! Obviously, washable bedding is essential! Before you purchase your baby’s bedding, including sheets, it is important to ask your pediatrician what type of bedding is best for different ages so that your child’s safety will be protected. Doctors advise that fluffy blankets should not be used for babies at night so you should save special items that Grandmother has made, such as quilts or blankets, for use during the day.
