Suggestions for Choosing Baby Boy Bedding for the Nursery
So you are looking forward to bringing your new little man home and you’re in the process of organizing his room. You’re organized so you already have the basics, namely the cot and maybe the dresser so now all you have to do is choose the color scheme for your baby boy’s bedding. Have a look around your room; what’s the theme and color scheme you have chosen? There are literally hundreds of color schemes and designs to choose from. Light blue is always a popular choice in bedding for baby boys but some people also like to go with greens and browns or navy and orange for something unique.
Being practical is a key ingredient for choosing bed sheets so make a list of what you need. Here’s a basic list of baby boy bedding that you may need:
* 4 x Mattress protectors
* 4 x cotton sheet sets (a minimum of 2 is definitely required)
* 4 x flannelette sheet sets (a minimum of 2 is definitely required)
* 4 x lightweight blankets
* 4 x winter blankets or cot quilts
No baby boy bed set is complete without some sort of mattress protector. There are basically two types of mattress protector available. You can get them in versions that just lay on top of the mattress or you can get them as a fitted sheet. The flat ones are a pain in my opinion as they can shift around and bunch up when you put a fitted sheet on over them. Paying a little extra for the fitted version is well worth it.
The particular fitted mattress protector that I prefer has a toweling top and a synthetic bottom. It made it easier to change the mattress, which I found the best way for me, being short and not able to reach the far side of the cot even with the side down, was to pick up the mattress and stand it on one end, dress it that way and then lay it back down. Having a mattress that is light and easy to pick up also goes along way to making the job easier. It’s a simple job but while you’re recovering from child birth every little bit that eases the burden helps.
