Baby Bedding Buying Made Simple   by Mary Jo Bailey

As parents we understand how much you love your children and want the best for them.
Walk into any baby supply store, or open any catalogue offering baby supplies, and you'll be hit with
adorable baby bedding designs: bedding with tiny flowers; little animals; and Disney characters, stripes,
zigzags, or bugs.

Your baby will spend 60% of its first year sleeping. There is no better environment for
your baby, than one provided with natural fibers, warm, comfortable, and safe baby bedding!

Your
baby's nursery can be completed with a choice from a variety of different sleeping
arrangements and baby bedding, including beautiful bedding sets with matching sheets, comforters,
pillows, bumpers, and dust ruffles. All, of course, must be chosen with your baby's safety and comfort
as priorities.

When trying to plan for nursery decorating, it is very important to make a safe
selection of baby bedding. Children are not stain-proof, but we know you'll feel better knowing
they'll have restful sleep. Happy babies come from happy parents.

There is a near endless array of baby bedding on the market that includes sets that are gender
specific and others that can be used for either a boy or a girl. You can buy each piece separately
but if you really think about it, it is the most expensive way to go. Just as there are 'bed-in-a-bag'
sets for adults they have them for your nursery as well.

A bed in a bag set includes sheet, pillow cases,
a comforter, shams, and skirts for adult beds. Bed sets for the baby is the same way. If you are looking
to have your bedding co-ordinate the theme of your nursery then purchase sets. You can purchase
single sheets so that you can mix and match your bedding.

When you are shopping for be aware that
the bedding will be separated by fabric, colors, and styles.

Your preferences will no doubt influence your purchase. Do you want cotton, flannel, fleece, or silk?
Many parents prefer the cotton or flannel fabric because they are less expensive than silk sheets
and are easier to clean.

The advantages to buying your bedding in sets is that everything already
matches. You won't be mixing fabrics, colors, or themes. With everything in one bag you can
actually change the atmosphere of the room by the bedding sets you purchase.

It is important that
you match your bedding with the gender of your child.

You wouldn't want to, for example, saturate your son's room in pink. In a girl's room however, it is ok
to put blue. Most manufacturers are knowledgeable about current thinking regarding gender and
what is believed to be acceptable or not. They tend to know what customers want. You most likely
won't have any trouble finding what you want.

Generally accepted themes for boys rooms include
airplanes, trucks, or fire engines. Sports is another theme to look for boys. They are generally
designed in bright colors - reds, blues, greens, and oranges.

Themes for girls could include
ballerinas, faeries, Barbie, princess, butterflies, or flowers. Girl's bedding generally comes in
softer colors such as pink, yellow, mauve, blue, and teal among others. Girl's rooms themes are
not limited to the above mentioned themes.

.

Non-gender specific themes for bedding include animals, the solar system, favorite characters
such as Barney, the Smurfs, Jimmy Neutron, Sponge Bob Square Pants, and others.
You also have
the option of having your crib bedding custom made. There is a chance that you might not find
just the right pattern you are looking for. If this is the case you can have someone make you
bedding with your exact pattern. If you sew you can create your own bedding sets for your baby.
There are even materials in gold and silver to use for your child's bedding so they can sleep in
the lap of luxury.

Crib bedding doesn't refer to sheets only. You can get bed in a bag as mentioned earlier. You
will find a sheet, a baby blanket, and a baby quilt in most sets. If you prefer to buy separate pieces
you can still do that. Most stores have single pieces as well as bedding sets.

As you can see buying bedding for you baby can be a challenging task.
Keep your budget in mind as
well as your preferences. You can create a theme in your baby's room with the types of bedding you
use. You can use character bedding but know that kids often outgrow certain characters and as your
child grows you will likely have to change your themes.
