  • Portable Crib Bedding

    Having a portable crib can be a great way to make sure that your baby will have a safe place to stay on the go. However, portable cribs come with their own set of risks and difficulties. Some portable cribs come with built-in bedding, which can be difficult (or impossible) to remove for cleaning. It’s best to purchase a portable crib that can accommodate removable bedding, since this can make cleaning up messes much easier. Here’s a quick guide that will help walk you through the process of finding and choosing the right type.

    Finding Portable Crib Bedding

    Shopping online can be a great way to find affordable and colorful crib beddings. There are thousands of online retail websites that sell crib bedding, many of which will ship their products all over the world. However, don’t forget that by buying portable baby crib bedding online, you will most likely have to cover the cost of shipping the bedding to your home. In some cases, the shipping costs may negate any savings you received by buying online.

    If you’d prefer, you can also find crib bedding at your local retail stores. Baby products are a huge business for many stores, and most places will have a great selection. Since portable crib bedding is a bit more difficult to find (in some cases), try asking the store attendant at a baby store if they carry different types of crib bedding. In some cases, if they don’t carry it, they may be able to order it for you at a small fee.

    Features of Portable Crib Bedding

    Here are a few features that you might want to look for when choosing the right bedding:

    Machine Washable
    As with any type of baby bedding, it’s very helpful if you only purchase a machine washable kind. This can make cleaning up potential “accidents” much easier, and makes washing your baby’s bedding less of a hassle. Washable crib bedding is often also pre-shrunk, which means that it will still fit your baby’s crib after several wash cycles.

    Waterproof Liner
    Since some baby accidents can be a bit messy, you might want to purchase a bedding that also has a waterproof liner. These liners may be accompanied by an absorbent pad, which will help to catch any messes that occur while your baby is in their crib. Washable waterproof liners are the best, since they’re easy to clean and then toss in your washing machine.

    Easily Removed
    Though this may seem like a no-brainer, it’s best to only purchase a bedding that can be easily be removed from the crib for cleaning. Some crib bedding is secured with buttons, straps or elastics. While this may seem good for keeping your baby’s crib secure, it can make removing your baby’s crib bedding a hassle. Stick to a bedding that can be easily rolled up and removed from the crib, since this will make cleaning up messes much less stressful for you.

  • Organic Crib Bedding

    The love of organic products has sparked a revolution in the baby product industry. Many parents are now looking for organic baby products, believing them to be better for their children. If you’re one of these parents, you already know that finding truly organic baby products can sometimes be a challenge. Having trouble? We’re here to help! Here’s a quick overview that will help familiarize you with organic baby crib bedding.

    What’s Organic Crib Bedding?

    There are a few different terms that may define crib bedding as “organic”. Some organic crib bedding might use only organic fibers, which have been grown without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Other types of organic crib bedding may be free of chemical dyes, which some parents believe to be toxic to young babies. In general, the best type of organic crib bedding should be made of natural, organic fibers without any chemical washes, dyes or sealants that have been applied to the fabric.

    Finding Organic Crib Bedding

    It can be a bit difficult to find good quality organic crib bedding for your baby. Some products may be marketed as “natural” or as having “natural fibers”, but aren’t necessarily organic. Beware of marketing scams! Cotton is a “natural fiber”, though it may have been treated with chemicals in order to be used in baby crib bedding. Always stick to true “organic” baby crib bedding products, if that’s what you’re looking for. Truly organic baby crib bedding should have a “certified organic” label on it, which is clearly visible on the bedding’s packaging.

    Safety Cautions

    Like with any type of baby crib bedding, it’s important to remember your baby’s safety first. Organic crib bedding should only be purchased if it’s an exact fit with your existing baby crib mattress. If you don’t have a mattress for your crib yet, you can measure your crib, and estimate what size mattress that you’ll be using. Then, when you purchase your organic crib bedding, be sure that it fits these measurements. The best thing to do is to only buy crib bedding that will fit tight around the mattress, and especially snug around the corners of the mattress. Any potentially loose fabric or material could cause your baby to be at risk for breathing problems, since this can restrict airflow to your baby. The sheet for your baby’s crib (along with the blanket) should only be able to be pulled up to your baby’s armpits. If the sheet is pulled up higher, it could cause your baby to suffocate.

    Advantages of Organic Crib Bedding

    The advantages of organic crib bedding mostly lie in “peace of mind”. There are many health conditions that may affect babies, many of which don’t have an identified cause. Some baby experts think that at least some of these health conditions can be prevented by sticking to organic and all-natural baby products. Baby crib bedding is often free of dangerous toxins, which could potentially cause health problems in some babies.

  • Modern Crib Bedding

    If you’d like to add a stylish touch to your baby’s room, you might choose to go with a modern theme. A modern themed baby room can be a great way to make designing your baby’s room a fun experience for the whole family. While everyone may differ slightly on their definition of “modern”, there are a few guidelines you can follow. Stick to solid colors, and in most cases simplicity works best for modern baby furniture. While designer items can be a nice touch, they aren’t always necessary to pull off a modern “theme” for your baby’s room.

    Modern baby crib bedding can be stylish, though it can be a bit hard to find. Your baby’s modern crib bedding will often have to be purchased after you’ve already purchased furniture, in order to make sure that it matches your chosen theme. Worried about finding modern crib bedding? We’re here to help! Here are a few guidelines to help walk you through the process of purchasing modern crib bedding.

    Where to Find Modern Crib Bedding

    Due to the growing popularity of “modern” themed baby items, many stores now carry a line of modern crib bedding products. When searching for modern crib bedding, it’s best to try your local stores first. Many home goods stores will have a section specifically for baby products, and they may offer a wide selection of modern baby crib bedding. A modern themed baby room can be complemented by good quality modern baby crib bedding.

    Choosing Modern Crib Bedding

    While it may be tempting to put style first, when choosing modern crib bedding, don’t forget about your baby’s safety. Properly fitted modern crib bedding can go a long way towards making sure your baby isn’t at risk for suffocation or SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). Make sure that the fitted sheet around your crib’s mattress is very snug, since any loose material could restrict airflow around your baby. Also, try to purchase a sheet that’s large enough to be securely tucked around the corners of your baby’s crib mattress, since this can also help to keep your baby safe from suffocation. Many parents also like to choose crib bedding that can be machine washed.

    Modern Crib Bedding for Cheap

    To find inexpensive modern crib bedding, it can be a bit challenging to know where to start. However, with a few simple tips, you can easily find modern crib bedding for a great price. Here are a few places you can start searching for affordable modern crib bedding:

    Friends and Family
    Don’t feel bad about asking your family and friends if they have extra baby crib bedding! In many cases, they’ll be more than happy to help.

    Church Yard Sales
    Many churches organize weekly (or monthly) yard sales during the summer months, where they often have a variety of inexpensive items available for purchase. Baby crib bedding is one of the most frequently donated items, since it’s something everyone only needs when their baby is young.

  • Baby Girl Crib Bedding

    Congratulations on your baby girl! Finding out that you’re having a baby girl can be a wonderful and exciting time, both for you and your family. Now that you know what gender your baby is, it’s time to start planning. In most cases, a family will wait until after they find out their baby’s gender before they begin purchasing baby items. This is because many parents like to stick to a specific “theme” when buying baby items. Don’t be afraid to be a bit creative when buying products for your baby girl. While it might seem socially acceptable to buy everything in pink, remember that there are other options as well!

    Choosing the right type of bedding for your baby girl can be a bit overwhelming, since there are hundreds of different choices available to you. Thankfully, we’re here to help! Here’s a quick guide that will help you to choose the right type of bedding for your baby girl.

    Themes for Baby Girl Nurseries

    Deciding on a theme for your baby girl’s room is a great way to begin setting up your nursery. There are so many choices! However, don’t be tempted to combine a lot of different themes into one. While a princess theme might work for your baby’s early months, what if your little girl grows up to not like princesses? It’s best to stick to something that’s easily adapted into different situations. If you’ve already purchase furniture for your baby girl’s room, you can also incorporate this into your theme.

    Colors for Baby Girl Crib Bedding

    There are a lot of different color choices for baby girl themed crib bedding. While you can stay with a traditional light pastel pink theme, you can also combine pink with other colors. Pink can be paired with light purple, or even bright yellow tones for more variety in your baby girl’s room. Don’t feel like you’re obligated to stick to a particular theme, since there are many themes that might work for your baby’s room. Instead, choose colors that complement the theme you’ve already chosen.

    Prints for Baby Girl Crib Bedding

    Princesses, cute animals, Barbie themed prints and others are just a few of the popular prints for baby girl crib bedding. You can even combine these prints with your theme, and match bedding with other items (such as wall hangings and themed toys). For example, if you choose a “pony” theme, you could purchase pony printed bedding, pony wall pictures and pony stuffed animals for your baby girl’s room.

    Using Neutral Colors

    A baby girl’s bedding can also be chosen in neutral colors if you choose. This may be because you’re planning to re-use the bedding for your next child, or because you simply don’t want to stick to the traditional pastel pink. Pale pastel green and yellow are great neutral gender colors, and can still be feminine enough to add a nice touch to your baby girl’s room.

  • Baby Boy Crib Bedding

    Did you just find out that you’re having a baby boy? Congratulations! Now that you’ve discovered the gender of your baby, there’s a lot of planning to be done. Many parents wait until after they’ve figured out the gender of their baby to begin decorating their baby’s room. Gender specific themes are very popular for many parents, since they provide an easy template to purchase different baby items. While “blue for boys, pink for girls” is often seen as the norm, don’t feel boxed in to this stereotype! There are many different colors, themes and other options available for your baby boy.

    When choosing bedding for your baby boy, you will have a few different options. Here’s a quick guide that will help walk you through the process of buying baby boy crib bedding.

    Themes for Baby Boy Nurseries

    Before choosing your bedding, you’ll want to pick a theme for your baby’s nursery. Baby boy themed nurseries are a lot of fun, and there are many different options. Your theme choices will be affected by any items that you’ve already purchased, such as a crib or changing table. However, working around previously purchased items usually isn’t difficult. For example, most baby cribs are either white, or bare wood (either light, dark or cherry). All of these colors are easy to incorporate into a “baby boy” themed room or nursery.

    Colors for Baby Boy Crib Bedding

    There are a few different color choices that you can use for baby boy crib bedding. While it might be tempting to stick to the traditional light blue, don’t limit yourself! Yellow and pastel green are other popular choices that can be a great color choice for your baby’s room. If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, you could even pair two colors for a more varied look in your baby boy’s crib bedding. For example, you could pair pastel green and pastel blue, which would create a nice, relaxing theme for your baby boy’s room.

    Prints for Baby Boy Crib Bedding

    There are also many prints that you can choose for your baby boy’s crib bedding. Cute animal prints, or character prints are a great way to add some fun color to your baby boy’s crib. Many parents choose trains, fire trucks or other “boy” themed prints for baby boy crib bedding. However, don’t be afraid to be creative! There are so many options available for baby boy crib bedding, you shouldn’t feel limited in your choices.

    Finding Cheap Baby Boy Crib Bedding

    If you’re on a tight budget, your options might be somewhat limited. While printed baby boy crib bedding can be adorable, it’s also often a bit expensive. To find inexpensive baby boy crib bedding, start by checking your local thrift store or goodwill. You can also check local yard sales in your area, since many people often have baby items for sale. Also, don’t forget to ask your friends and family! Chances are, someone in your family may have some extra baby boy crib bedding.

  • Mini Crib Bedding

    Not every parent is comfortable with a standard baby crib. Either for personal reasons, or because of space requirements, you may choose to purchase a mini crib for your baby’s room. If this is the case, you’ll want to make sure that the bedding you purchase is suitable for a mini crib, and will provide a comfortable environment for your baby. However, finding the right mini crib bedding can be a bit of a challenge! Here’s a bit of information to help you find  bedding that will best fit the needs of your new baby.

    Where to Look for Mini Crib Bedding

    Finding the right crib bedding should begin on your first “baby” shopping trip. Baby shopping trips are a great activity to do with friends and family, since they’re a wonderful way to get everyone excited about your new arrival. Start at your local outlet mall, since many outlet malls have a variety of “baby” themed stores. Ask the store attendants if they carry this kind of bedding – in many cases, they might have an entire section devoted to it. However, if you can’t find what you want at the store, don’t worry! There are still a wide variety of options available to you if you shop online. Just be sure to order your at once, so that it will be delivered before your baby’s expected delivery date. This will give you some time to “nest”, and to have fun setting up your baby’s room.

    Choosing the Perfect Mini Crib Bedding

    The best crib bedding for you will depend on your personal needs. If you’ve already picked out a theme for your baby’s room, you’ll probably want to find the one that fits this theme. However, you should hold your crib bedding to a few important safety standards. Your bedding should exactly fit the dimensions of your mini crib, without any loose material. While it may be tempting to purchase too-big or too-small crib bedding if you find a print you like, it’s better to wait until you find a better fit. Loose material can pose a safety hazard to your child, and may also increase your child’s chances of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).

    Mini Crib Bedding on a Budget

    If you’re on a tight budget, it can be a bit more challenging to find the right bedding. Here are a few places to start looking for a cheap bedding:

    Goodwill
    Check your local goodwill or local thrift store to see if they carry any crib bedding. It might be hard to find it at these places, but don’t give up! The savings you get will be well worth it.

    Yard Sales
    While purchasing used crib bedding can make some people uncomfortable, remember that many people end up donating or selling their baby crib bedding after their children are grown. As long as you hold “yard sale” crib bedding to the same safety standards, you’ll still be happy with the money you save.

  • Types of Crib Bedding

    As with many things, navigating the confusing world of baby products can sometimes be stressful. Do you need a bassinet? What’s the proper fit for a crib sheet? How many baby bottles do you need? These questions are among many that expecting parents often face. However, when it comes to crib bedding, there are a few terms you can become familiar with to make choosing your baby’s crib bedding much easier.

    Organic Crib Bedding
    For parents that are worried about potential toxins in their baby’s crib, organic crib bedding is often a favored choice. Organic crib bedding often has organic fibers, which may be pre-washed without the use of harsh chemicals. The fibers themselves may also be grown organically, without any chemical pesticides or fertilizers. Organic crib bedding may be dyed, though the dyes that are used are often vegetable dyes, or other types of colorings that don’t require the use of chemicals.

    Custom Crib Bedding
    If you want something special for your baby’s crib, you might choose to purchase custom crib bedding. Custom crib bedding can be a bit more expensive, but it also means that you’ll spend less time shopping for crib bedding (which gives you more time for other things). Custom crib bedding can often be ordered from a specialty designer, as long as you have the dimensions of your crib’s mattress available.

    Printed Crib Bedding

    Many types of crib bedding have cute animal, character or designer prints to add a fun flair to a baby’s room. Printed crib bedding might have Disney characters, cute animals or nature scenes. Printed crib bedding is often purchased to match a specific theme for a baby’s room, or to complement the theme of a nursery.

    Fitted Sheets
    The fitted sheet in your crib bedding is very important, since an improperly fitted sheet can actually be a danger to your child’s health. If your fitted sheet is too loose, it could pose a suffocation hazard for your baby, or could cause a restriction in airflow. Always make sure that the fitted sheet in your baby’s crib is tight, especially around the corners.

    Regular Sheets
    The regular sheet in your baby’s crib should be soft, so that it doesn’t irritate sensitive baby skin. Also, it should be able to be easily tucked around the sides of the crib mattress, keeping your baby immobile without restricting movement too much. The sheet in your crib bedding should only be able to be pulled up to about the area underneath your baby’s arms. The reason for this is because if the sheet can be pulled over your baby’s face, your baby could be at a potential risk for suffocation.

    Bedding Blankets
    Matching the blankets of your baby’s bedding to the sheets can be a challenge, especially if you didn’t purchase them as part of a set. Soft material blankets are best, since they won’t cause skin irritation.

  • Custom Crib Bedding

    Want something special for your baby’s room? Custom crib bedding is a fun way to get exactly what you need for your baby’s room. With custom crib bedding, you won’t have to spend hours searching for the “perfect” crib bedding for your baby’s room. However, ordering custom crib bedding can be a challenge, especially if you don’t know where to start.

    Finding Custom Crib Bedding Suppliers

    If you have a need for custom crib bedding, one of the hardest parts can be actually finding a place that will design custom crib bedding for you. Begin searching locally, since some bedding companies will sometimes be able to meet custom orders. You can also check your local phone book for resources in your area that might help you find custom bedding set designers – such as tailoring services.

    What to Do Before You Order

    Before you place an order for a custom crib bedding set, there are a few things you should do. First, you’ll need to measure your crib mattress. This can be done with measuring tape, or even with a flat yardstick. Be sure to write down your measurement both in inches and in centimeters, since some custom crib bedding designers will use different measurements. If you don’t yet have a mattress for your crib, measure the inside of your crib to approximate how large your mattress will be.

    Ordering Custom Crib Bedding

    Once you have all of the information you need – it’s time to order your custom crib bedding! This is where the advantage of finding a custom crib bedding designer local to your home becomes clear – that way, you can give a visual representation of your exact needs. For example, some designers might have you bring in your crib mattress, which they may use to design an exact fit for your custom crib bedding. However, if you weren’t able to find a local custom crib bedding service, don’t worry. Just ask for regular updates on your order, and make sure that they’re open to performing any alterations in the event that your custom crib bedding is a poor fit.

    Custom Crib Bedding on a Budget

    If you have the time, you might want to try saving some money on custom crib bedding sets by making your own! Making your own custom crib bedding set can be a fun way to get actively involved in designing your baby’s room. All you’ll need is some fabric and thread, which can be found at most arts and crafts stores. A sewing machine will also make your job a lot easier, along with a pattern. Once you have everything all set – get sewing! The hardest part about sewing your own custom crib bedding set is finding the proper way to bunch the elastic on the fitted sheet that will go around your crib’s mattress. By making your own custom crib bedding set, you can also add other features, such as a waterproof liner to help cleaning up “accidents” much easier.

  • Crib Bedding Sets

    Part of the fun of decorating your nursery or “baby room” involves choosing different themed baby items. There are cute little stuffed animals, picture books, mobiles, cool audio systems that play soothing music, and even toys that help your baby’s brain development. Many parents get caught up in the pre-baby excitement, and end up purchasing a wide variety of different baby items. When decorating your baby’s room, you probably have already chosen a specific “theme” for the colors and prints you’ll be purchasing. Crib bedding sets are a great way to add some fun matching colors to your baby’s crib. Here are a few tips to help you decide which crib bedding set will best suit your needs.

    Finding Crib Bedding Sets

    Grab your friends and family – it’s time to go shopping! The first place you should look is at the outlet stores in your area, since these stores often have great deals on crib bedding sets for your baby’s crib. However, in some cases, these options could be limited, or not fit what you need for your baby’s room. In this case, you’ll probably end up searching online for crib bedding sets. Online retailers often have an expansive selection of products, which increases the chances that you’ll find the right set for your baby’s room. However, keep in mind that while online retailers might seem to be less expensive, you’ll still have to cover the shipping costs of any crib bedding sets you purchase online.

    Which Crib Bedding Set is For Me?

    Once you’ve chosen the theme for your baby’s room, the “right” crib bedding set is mostly a matter of personal preference. However, there are a few guidelines that you should follow. For example, you’ll want to make sure that your crib bedding set is made of non-toxic fibers, and doesn’t have any chemical dyes. You can also purchase organic crib bedding sets, which are usually made with all organic fibers.

    Finding Crib Bedding Sets on a Budget

    Don’t shy away from thrift stores as a great source of inexpensive crib bedding! Many parents often donate their gently used crib bedding sets after their children grow too old for a crib. Thrift stores are a great and inexpensive way to purchase crib bedding sets at a good price. However, you might have trouble finding a matching set as a thrift store, since they might be sold separately. You can also try asking around with your friends and family, to see if any of them have extra or unused crib bedding sets that would fit the theme you’ve chosen for your baby’s room.

    Baby crib bedding is one of the most purchased products by parents that are having a new baby. If you’re trying to find bedding for your baby’s crib, it can be hard to navigate the number of options available to you. You may want baby crib bedding that’s both durable, machine washable and that matches your baby’s theme. If you’re worried about toxins, you may also want to purchase organic baby crib bedding, or bedding that’s free of chemical dyes. Having trouble deciding on baby crib bedding? Here are a few tips to help.

    Finding Baby Crib Bedding

    Going on a baby shopping trip can be a great way to get excited about your new baby! To begin your search for the perfect baby crib bedding, start at your local stores. Many clothing and home goods stores have a selection of baby crib bedding that might suit your needs. There may also be specialty “baby” stores in your area, which may carry a lot of baby crib bedding and other products. If you can’t find the right type of baby crib bedding locally, you can also try searching online. However – don’t forget that you’ll probably need to pay for shipping costs.

    Choosing the Right Baby Crib Bedding

    The “perfect” bedding for your baby’s crib is really up to you, and your specific needs. Would you prefer to purchase organic bedding? Or do you need to find colors that match the theme you have planned out for your baby’s room? These are important questions to consider when choosing your baby’s crib bedding. Keep in mind that you’ll want to make sure that the type of baby crib bedding you choose is able to fit around your crib mattress. The bedding should fit snugly, and not bunch around the corners. This helps to ensure that your baby won’t be at risk for suffocation, or SIDS (which may be caused by improper flow of oxygen).

    Does Your Baby Crib Bedding Match?

    Finding crib bedding that matches the theme for your baby’s room can be difficult, especially if you haven’t chosen a theme yet. If in doubt choose neutral colors that are easy to match with other colors that you might use in your baby’s room theme. Light pastels, white and other colors tend to match well with a variety of different furniture types, colors and themes.

    Baby Crib Bedding on a Budget

    To find baby crib bedding on a budget, begin searching at your local thrift store or Goodwill. These stores often have a great selection of different “gently used” crib bedding that can be used for your baby’s room.
